Remedy
• Check that there is some remaining blank space on the DVD/HDD.
• For a DVD-R/-RW (Video mode) or DVD+R, check that the disc isn't already finalized.
• Check the limits on the number of titles and chapters on a disc:
– HDD: 999 titles
– VR mode: 99 titles, 999 chapters per disc
– Video mode disc: 99 titles per disc, 99 chapters per title
– DVD+R/+RW: 49 titles per disc, 99 chapters per title (max 254 chapters per disc)
• Check that the source you are trying to record is not copy protected.
• For a VR formatted disc, check that the disc isn't locked (page 132).
• Check that you are recording with the same TV system (PAL, NTSC, etc.) as the disc has
already been recorded in. All recordings on a disc must be in the same TV system. When
recording to the HDD, it is also necessary to set the Input Line System setting to match what
you want to record (page 146).
• The power may have failed during recording.
• When setting the recording channel, make sure you set the recorder's built-in TV tuner, not
the TV's built-in tuner.
• When recording to a DVD-R/-RW (Video mode) or DVD+R/+RW, programmes that are
copy-once protected cannot be recorded. Use a VR mode formatted disc for copy-once
material (page 80).
• Two timer programmes may have overlapped, in which case only the earlier one will record
completely.
• The power may have failed during recording.
• A backup battery inside the recorder keeps the clock and other settings from being reset
when there is no power to the recorder. After unplugging or a power failure, the battery keeps
all settings for a period of several minutes. Reset the clock and other recorder settings to use
the recorder again.
• To have the battery replaced, please ask your nearest Pioneer authorized service center or
your dealer to carry out repairs.
• The Child Lock is on; turn off in order to use the recorder (page 87).
• Make sure that there is a recordable DVD-R/-RW loaded with some free space for recording
and fewer than 99 titles already on the disc. Also make sure that for a DVD-R/-RW (Video
mode) or a DVD+R, the disc isn't finalized.
• Make sure there is a recordable DVD+R/+RW loaded with some free space for recording
and fewer than 49 titles already on the disc.
• If you delete a title from a DVD+R/+RW disc, the number of remaining recordable titles
may not decrease.
• Further recording is not possible on a finalized DVD+R. Check that there isn't a disc menu
on the disc you're trying to use.
• If the title currently playing contains material that is copy-once protected, One Touch Copy
will not work.
• If the currently playing HDD content was recorded in XP+ mode, the One Touch Copy
feature can't be used.
• One Touch Copy can't be used for titles over eight hours long when copying to DVD+R/
+RW (though you can use a DVD+R DL).
• One Touch Copy can't be used for MN1 to MN6, SEP, SLP or EP titles when copying to
DVD+R/+RW.
• One Touch Copy doesn't work if the recorder is already recording to DVD.
• Make sure that there is space available on the HDD and that there are fewer than 999 titles
on the HDD.
• One Touch Copy doesn't work if the recorder is already recording to the HDD.
