Remedy
• Make sure that the amp/receiver or TV is set to the correct input and the volume turned up.
• There is no sound when the picture is paused, or during scanning or slow motion play.
Press PLAY to resume regular playback.
• DTS audio can only be played back if the recorder's digital output is connected to the
receiver subwoofer. If connected to your TV, your TV must have a DTS decoder for you to be
able to enjoy DTS sound.
• Some 96 kHz discs do not output audio through the digital jack.
• Check the audio cable connections (page 48).
• If the sound is distorted, try cleaning the cable plugs.
• During real-time copying it is not possible to switch audio channels. The main and sub
channels are both output.
• If the video signal from the external component is copy-protected, you cannot connect via
this recorder. Connect the component directly to your TV.
• Change the Input Line System setting (page 146). (You can also change it by pressing the
(Stop) button and INPUT SELECT on the front panel simultaneously with the recorder
stopped.)
• Make sure that the TV Screen Size setting (page 143) is correct for the kind of TV you have
(see also page 159).
• If you have a widescreen TV, check its aspect ratio settings.
• This recorder's input switches into wide mode automatically according to the input signal.
When the unit connected is not compatible with VIDEO ID-1 (widescreen signalling), set the
connected component to output 4:3 aspect ratio (standard) video.
• Note that audio and subtitle languages cannot be changed during the recording of a
digital broadcast.
• You can only use the audio track and subtitles for the language that were selected at the
time of recording a digital broadcast. The audio track and subtitles cannot be changed to
other languages.
• If the disc was recorded in DVD-R/-RW (Video mode) or DVD+R, make sure that it's
finalized (page 88).
• Some players will not play recordable DVD discs, even when recorded in DVD-R/-RW (Video
mode) or DVD+R and finalized.
• If the disc was recorded in VR mode, the other player must be specifically RW compatible
in order to play it (page 43).
• Discs recorded with copy-once material cannot be played on non-CPRM compatible
players (page 80).
• DVD+RW discs containing only a small amount of recorded material may not play on other
players. Finalize the disc and try again.
• When a copy-protected disc is played via a VCR, the picture will not display correctly.
Connect the recorder directly to your TV.
• Change the recording mode to XP/SP.
