Problem
Horizontally wide video appears vertically tall, or black bands
appear at the top and bottom of the screen.
Square noise (mosaic) appears on the screen.
Video stops.
Left and right channels of audio are reversed, or sound comes
out of only one side.
DVD disc does not play back automatically.
Timer recording was set, but not executed.
The timer recorded content stops in the middle of recording.
Timer recording was set, but a different programme was
recorded.
The REC LIST (THUMBNAIL or TITLE LIST) is not displayed.
When a CD is recorded to MD using digital connection, the CD
and MD do not have the same track numbers.
The Recorder makes a sound even when there is no operation.
Suggested Solution
• Is "TV MODE SETTING" set to match the connected TV? (Page 111)
• If you are using a wide TV, is the "TV MODE SETTING" set to "WIDE 16:9"? (Page 111)
• When the "TV MODE SETTING" is set to "WIDE 16:9", and recorded by this Recorder onto the HDD with high-
speed dubbing priority or onto a video format DVD, titles recorded in LP mode or a lower recording mode will
not be able to be displayed using the letter box or pan scan functions.
• Pictures in blocks may be conspicuous in scenes with rapid movement due to the characteristics of digital
image compression technology.
• Has the Recorder been subjected to shock or impact? Are you using it at an unstable location? The Recorder
will stop if it senses shock or vibration.
• The picture may be disturbed in very rare cases due to the characteristics of the HDD. This is not a
malfunction.
• Are left and right audio cables connected to the opposite terminal, or is one side disconnected?
• Has HDD been selected instead of DVD? Playback will start automatically by switching to DVD.
• Have you set a DVD video disc that has an automatic playback function?
• Was there a power failure while standing by for timer recording?
• Is the HDD or DVD full? Erase unnecessary titles from the list.
• Were you performing dubbing?
• If you use the Recorder at a location with low temperature, the HDD may enter the preparation state. Set and
leave power "ON" for a while before timer recording is performed.
• Is the power cord unplugged from the AC outlet?
• Was the power plug unplugged, or was there a power failure, during timer recording?
• Is the HDD or DVD full? Erase unnecessary titles from the list.
• Recording will stop if a programme whose recording is forbidden begins in the middle of recording.
• Clean the disc.
• If there is a power failure or other power problem during recording to DVD-RW/R, recording will stop in the
middle. If there is a power failure or other power problem during recording to HDD, that program will be lost.
• Even if the broadcast is displayed correctly, there are cases in which the content of the broadcast changes
due to circumstances at the broadcast station.
• The REC LIST cannot be displayed during playback of the Time Shift Viewing or Chasing Playback. Press the
ISTOP/LIVE button, and return to live viewing.
• If you use the Recorder at a location with low temperature, the HDD may enter the preparation state. Please
wait a while.
• There may be a problem with the HDD. Contact the nearest service centre approved by Sharp.
• If Dolby Virtual Surround is set to "ON", song numbers will not be assigned to the MD. When recording a CD
onto an MD, set the Dolby Virtual Surround to "OFF".
• If the interval between CD tracks is short, the track numbers on the recorded MD may differ from those of the
CD.
• If you do not operate the Recorder for a certain time while power is ON, you will hear the sound of the HDD
operating. This is not a malfunction.
