En
Cause
• Improper connections.
• The input source is not properly
selected.
• The video input selected on the TV moni-
tor is incorrect.
• The TV or monitor is hooked up with cord
that is different than that used for the
video player.
• The type of cord connected to the TV
doesn't match your video input settings.
• The source is copy protected.
• The recorder's video input is hooked up
using a different type of cord to the
source video output.
• The display DIMMER button is pushed.
• Either the digital connections or the DIG-
ITAL IN SELECT is incorrect.
• MULTI CH IN mode is on.
• The player is paused or stopped.
• There is a mistake in the player settings
for audio output.
• Although it's a non-PCM digital source
there is a possibility the present track is
not the proper format (5.1, 6.1, or 7.1
channel).
• The digital signal is not being sent with
the source.
• The audio is in two channel format.
• It has already been Dolby surround
encoded.
• The source may be 6.1 playback compat-
ible, but there is no signal from the
source to indicate this.
• The multichannel connections are ana-
log, so there is no digital transfer.
• SIGNAL SELECT is set to ANALOG.
Remedy
• Make sure the component is con-
nected correctly (see pages 16 and 17).
• Press the correct function button.
• Please read the TV monitor manual
and change the settings accordingly.
• Use the same cable to connect to your
TV and all your video equipment (see
pages 16 and 17).
• Change the settings to match the cord
connected (see page 16).
• You can't record sources that have
been copy protected.
• Hook up the source and the recorder
using the same type of video cord. (see
page 17)
• Press DIMMER on the remote control
repeatedly to return to the default set-
ting (see page 55).
• Make sure the digital connections (see
pages 17 and 22) and the DIGITAL IN
SELECT (see page 81) are done cor-
rectly.
• Turn MULTI CH IN mode off (see
page 52).
• Play the source.
• Fix the audio settings (check the man-
ual that came with your DVD player).
• There is no problem. The indicator
won't light when the track is not a com-
pressed digital source.
• Choose DIGITAL or AUTO with the sig-
nal select button (see page 44).
• This is not a malfunction. Check the
manufacturer information for the
source.
• Switch the SB CH MODE to ON (see
page 53).
• This is not a malfunction. See the
player's manual for more details.
• Set the SIGNAL SELECT to AUTO (see
page 44).
