Solution
– The TV channel you want to record is not stored or you selected
the wrong program number. Check TV channels stored.
– If you adjust the clock after you set a timer recording, reset the
timer recording.
– If the DVD recorder cannot read the disc, you cannot record.
– You cannot use the DVD recorder to duplicate copyrighted
materials (DVDs or videotapes) onto a DVD+RW/+R, "COPY
PROTECT" will be displayed.
– A finalized DVD+R has been inserted. Change disc.
– If a recording is too short, it is possible that a DVD player cannot
detect it. Please observe the following 'minimum recording
times'. Recording mode : {M2}– 10 minutes, {M2x} – 13 minutes,
{M3} – 15 minutes, {M4} – 20 minutes, {M6} – 30 minutes,
{M8} - 30 minutes.
– Some DVD players cannot playback DVD+RW recordings. You
can solve this problem by using a special function :
1) Press OPEN CLOSE / on the DVD recorder to open the disc
tray.
2) Insert the disc but do not close the tray.
3) Hold down the number button {2} on the remote control until
the tray closes. The disc is modified.
4) If this fails to produce the desired result, repeat the procedure
using the number button {3} on the remote control.
5) You can restore the disc to its original condition by pressing
and holding number button {1}.
Warning! There is a risk that you can no longer play the disc on
other DVD players after the following procedure. Therefore,
apply this function with particular care.
– You can finalize the disc using the following function:
1) Press OPEN CLOSE / on the DVD recorder to open the disc
tray.
2) Insert the disc but do not close the tray.
3) Hold down button number {4} on the remote control until the
tray closes. 'FINALISING' appears on the display panel.
4) If finalizing has been successful, the Picture Index screen will
appear.
– This happens if you try to copy DVDs or video cassettes that
have been copy-protected. Even though the picture on the TV is
fine, but the recording on a DVD+R(W) is faulty. This
interference is unavoidable with copy-protected DVDs or video
cassettes.
– The DVD+R(W) has recording lifetime, please change a new disc
for recording.
