Remedy
• Check that the clock and the date are set correctly.
• Check that the PDC time you set is the correct one (there
might be a mistake in the TV programme guide). If the
broadcast you wanted to record did not send the good PDC
information, the VCR will not start recording.
• If the reception is poor, the PDC signal might be altered
and the VCR might not start recording.
• The tape has reached its end. Insert a new tape and press
SYNCHRO REC again.
• The connected equipment was not turned off.
Turn off the connected equipment and press SYNCHRO
REC again.
• There was a power failure. Press SYNCHRO REC again.
• If the settings for timer recordings and Synchronized
Recording overlap, the programme that starts first has
priority and the second programme starts recording only
after the first programme has finished.
• There was a power failure. Press SYNCHRO REC again.
• Check that a tape is not already in the tape compartment.
• Make sure you are pointing the remote commander at the
remote sensor on the VCR.
• Replace all the batteries in the remote commander with
new ones if they are weak.
• Make sure the [TV] / [VIDEO] remote control switch is set
correctly.
• Press INPUT SELECT to display the connected line.
• The recording condition of the tape is very poor and
tracking cannot be adjusted.
• Set your TV's code number. The code number may change
when you replace the batteries of the remote commander.
• The display window automatically becomes dim when the
VCR is in standby or timer recording mode.
