Troubleshooting
Solution
– The TV channel you want to record is not stored or you selected
the wrong programme 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 finalised DVD+R has been inserted. Change disc.
– 'VPS/PDC' is turned on but 'VPS/PDC time' is wrong. Enter the
exact 'VPS/PDC time'.
1) Enter the PlusCode number of the desired TV channel.
2) Press OK to confirm.
3) Check the channel number in the {Ch.} input field. If this does
not correspond to the desired TV channel, select this entry
field and change the channel number.
4) Press OK to confirm.
– 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 : {M1} – 5 minutes, {M2}– 10 minutes,
{M2x} – 13 minutes, {M3} – 15 minutes, {M4} – 20 minutes,

3) Hold down the number button {2} on the remote control until

and holding number button {1}.
