Problem
Considerable noise in radio

Remedy
• Check that there is some remaining blank space on the DVD/HDD.
• For a video mode disc, check that the disc isn't already finalized.
• The HDD may contain up to 250 titles; one DVD disc 99 (Original) titles and 999
chapters. Check that these limits have not been reached.
• 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 96).
• 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 102).
• The power may have failed during recording.
• When setting the recording channel, make sure you set this system's built-in TV
tuner, not the TV's built-in tuner.
• When recording to a Video mode disc, programs that are copy-once protected
cannot be recorded. Use a VR mode formatted disc for copy-once material
(page 45).
• Two timer programs may have overlapped, in which case only the earlier one will
record completely.
• The power may have failed during recording.
• Make sure that there is a recordable DVD loaded with some free space for
recording and fewer than 99 titles already on the disc. Also make sure that for a
Video mode disc, the disc isn't finalized.
• If the title currently playing contains material that is copy-once protected, One
Touch Copy will not work.
• One Touch Copy doesn't work if the system is already recording to DVD.
• Make sure that there is space available on the HDD and that there are fewer than
250 titles on the HDD.
• One Touch Copy doesn't work if the system is already recording to the HDD.
Remedy
• Connect the antenna (refer to the Setup Guide) and adjust the direction and
position for best reception.
• Try a different noise cut setting (see Improving poor AM sound on page 91).
• Fully extend the FM wire antenna, position for best reception, and secure to a
wall.
• Connect an outdoor FM antenna (see Connecting external antennas on
page 120).
• Connect an additional internal or external AM antenna (refer to the Setup Guide
and Connecting external antennas on page 120).
• Turn off any other equipment that may be causing the noise or move it away
from the main unit.
• The radio signal is weak. Auto tuning will only detect radio stations with a good
signal. For more sensitive tuning, connect an outdoor antenna.
• Check that the tuner is not set to FM mono (see Improving poor FM reception on
page 91).
