Cause
• The source is copy protected.
• You are trying to record a source con-
nected to the component video jacks.
• The recorder's video input is hooked up
using a different type of cord to the
source video output.
• The display DIMMER button is pushed.
• Either the digital connections or the DIG-
ITAL IN SELECT is incorrect.
• MULTI CH IN mode is on.
• The player is paused or stopped.
• There is a mistake in the player settings
for audio output.
• Although it's a non-PCM digital source
there is a possibility the present track is
not the proper format (5.1, 6.1, or 7.1
channel).
• The digital signal is not being sent with
the source.
• The audio is in two channel format.
• It has already been Dolby surround
encoded.
• The source may be 6.1 playback compat-
ible, but there is no signal from the
source to indicate this.
• The multichannel connections are ana-
log, so there is no digital transfer.
• SIGNAL SELECT is set to ANALOG
Remedy
• You can't record sources that have
been copy protected.
• Connect the component with S video
or composite video cords (see pages
16 and 17).
• Hook up the source and the recorder
using the same type of video cord.
(see page 17)
• Press DIMMER on the remote control
repeatedly to return to the default set-
ting (see page 57).
• Make sure the digital connections (see
pages 17 and 22) and the DIGITAL IN
SELECT (see page 88) are done cor-
rectly.
• Turn MULTI CH IN mode off (see
page 54).
• Play the source.
• Fix the audio settings (check the man-
ual that came with your DVD player).
• There is no problem. The indicator
won't light when the track is not a com-
pressed digital source.
• Choose DIGITAL or AUTO with the sig-
nal select button (see page 46).
• This is not a malfunction. Check the
manufacturer information for the
source.
• Switch the SB CH MODE to ON (see
page 55).
• This is not a malfunction. See the
player's manual for more details.
• SET the SIGNAL SELECT to AUTO (see
page 46).
