Troubleshooting

Remedy
• Check that the AC power cord is connected securely.
• Re-connect the connecting cord securely.
• The connecting cords are damaged.
• The Setup Display appears. Press RETURN button to turn
off the display.
• Check the connection to your TV (page 13).
• Check if the INTERLACE/PROGRESSIVE mode is set correctly
according to your TV. See page 13.
• Switch the input selector on your TV (such as to "LINE1") so that
the signal from the DVD recorder appears on the TV screen.
• The disc is dirty or flawed.
• If the picture output signal from the DVD recorder passes
through your VCR to get to your TV, or if you are connected to
a combination TV/VIDEO player, the copy-protection signal
applied to some DVD programs could affect picture quality. If
you still experience this problem even when you connect the
DVD recorder directly to your TV, try connecting the DVD
recorder to your TV's S-VIDEO input.
• Try to set the channels with "Auto Preset" in SETUP menu
(page 18).
• Select a channel of any TV program using the CH o / p
buttons.
• Adjust TV antenna.
• Adjust the picture (see the TV's instruction manual).
• Place the DVD recorder and TV farther apart.
• Place the TV and any bunched antenna cables farther apart.
• Switch the input to TV.
• Connect the antenna cable correctly (page 13).
• If the playback picture output from a DVD player, VCR, or tuner
goes through the DVD recorder before reaching your TV, the
copy-protection signal applied to some programs could affect
picture quality. Disconnect the playback equipment in question
and connect it directly to your TV.
• The disc is dirty or flawed.
• Re-connect all connections securely.
• The connecting cord is damaged.
• Check the connections to the amplifier input.
• The input source setting on the amplifier is incorrect.
• The recorder is in pause mode or in Slow-motion Play mode.
• The recorder is in fast forward or fast reverse mode.
• If the audio signal does not come through the DIGITAL OUT
(COAXIAL) jack, check the Audio Setup settings (pages 88-89).
• The disc is dirty or flawed.
• When playing a DTS-CD, noise may come from the speakers.
This DVD recorder is not compatible with DTS-CD.
• This DVD recorder is not compatible with DTS sound.
