Troubleshooting
Solution
– This happens if you try to copy DVDs or video tapes
that have been copy-protected. Even though the picture
on the TV is fi ne, the recording on the recordable DVD
is faulty. This interference is unavoidable with copy-
protected DVDs or video tapes.
– The recordable DVD has a limited recording lifetime,
use a new disc for recording.
– If a recording is too short, it is possible that a DVD
player cannot detect it.
– You have to fi nalise the DVD±R. See 'Finalising the
DVD±R for playback' for details.
– You have to make the DVD±RW compatible. See
'Making the edited DVD±RW compatible' for details.
– You have to re-format the DVD±RW.
1) Press OPEN CLOSE on this recorder to open the disc
tray.
2) Insert the disc but do not close the tray.
3) Hold down button number {0} on the remote control
until the disc tray closes.
4) Start recording on the DVD±RW before you remove
it from the disc tray.
– Turn off the recorder to standby mode for at least 24
hours. It enables downloading of TV listings data.
– Make sure that no timer recording is programmed
during this timing, as it will interrupt the EPG
downloading.
