Remedy
• 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 Video mode disc, programs that are copy-once protected
cannot be recorded. Use a VR mode formatted disc for copy-once material (page 79).
• Two timer programs 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.
• The Child Lock is on; turn off in order to use the recorder (page 71).
• 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 Video
mode disc 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.
• One Touch Copy can't be used for titles over 8 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.
• Press STOP then try restarting playback.
• Press the front panel STANDBY/ON button to switch the power off, then switch
back on and restart playback. If the power fails to switch off, press and hold
STANDBY/ON for 5 seconds until the power switches off.
• Check that it is a device that may be connected to this unit (digital camera, USB
memory, memory card reader or printer).
• Use a USB cable less than 5 m in length.
• Check that the USB cable is inserted fully.
• Check that the USB device is powered on.
• Only the first digital camera, USB memory or memory card reader connected is
readable by this unit. Unplug multiple devices and connect the device you want to
use first.
