Troubleshooting Guide
Recording
Issues:
Timer recording does not stop even when [∫] is
pressed.
When using the linked timer recording with external
equipment, press [EXTLINK]. ("EXT-L" on the unit's display
disappears.) (
28)
If you start recording immediately after turning on the unit
while "Power Save in Standby" is not activated (Quick Start
mode), you cannot then stop recording for a few seconds.
Make sure that the recording drive is selected. Press
[DRIVE SELECT] to select the recording drive. (
The timer programme remains even after recording
finishes.
The timer programme remains if set to daily, weekly or
series timer recording. (
Part or all of a recorded title has been lost.
If the power shuts down or the AC mains lead is
disconnected from the household mains socket while
recording or editing, the title may be lost or the HDD/disc
may become unusable. We cannot offer any guarantee
regarding lost titles or discs. You will have to format the disc
([HDD] [RAM] [-RW‹V›] [+RW]) or use a new disc. (
Stripe-shaped black noise is recorded.
An external playback device is interfering with the TV
because the device is too close to the TV. Move the device
away from the TV.
The programme name and the recorded title do not
match.
There was a programme change after timer recording was
set but the recorded title still has the old programme name.
Cannot copy to a DVD-R, etc, disc using the high
speed mode.
When recording to the HDD, set "Recording Format" to
"Video format" in the Setup menu. (The default setting is
"Video format"). (
In the following cases, high speed mode does not work,
even if the titles were recorded with "Recording Format" set
to "Video format". (
– [+R] [+R]DL] [+RW] If recorded in "EP" or "FR (recordings 5
hours or longer)" mode
– [+R] [+R]DL] [+RW] If recorded in 16:9 aspect
– [-R] [-R]DL] [-RW‹V›] If recorded in 16:9 aspect using "EP"
mode or "FR" (recordings 5 hours or longer) mode
[+R] [+R]DL] [+RW] Titles recorded on other Panasonic DVD
Recorders with "Recording Format" ("Rec for High Speed
Copy") set to "Video format" ("On"), and then copied to the
HDD on this unit may not copy to +R, +R DL or +RW discs
with high-speed copy.
When copying, it takes a long time even in high
speed mode.
Use a disc that is compatible with high speed recording.
Even if the disc is high speed recording compatible, the
maximum speed may not be possible due to the condition
of the disc.
It takes longer than normal to copy many titles.
You cannot high speed copy to DVD-R titles longer than 6
hours when using other Panasonic DVD Recorders that are
not compatible with EP (8 Hours) mode recording.
