Can’t play a disc
recorded using this
recorder on another
player

• If the disc was recorded in DVD-R/-RW (Video mode) or DVD+R,
make sure that it’s finalized (page 48).
•Some players will not play recordable DVD discs, even when
recorded in DVD-R/-RW (Video mode) or DVD+R and finalized.
• If the disc was recorded in VR mode, the other player must be
specifically RW compatible in order to play it (page 8).
• Discs recorded with copy-once material cannot be played on non-
CPRM compatible players (page 35).
• DVD+RW discs containing only a small amount of recorded
material may not play on other players. Finalize the disc and try again.

During playback the
picture is dark or
distorted

• When a copy-protected disc is played via a VCR, the picture will not
display correctly. Connect the recorder directly to your TV.

Recorded contents are
not clear or artefacts

colour (due to MPEG
compression; also
known as

block noise

)

• Change the recording mode to

Can’t record or does
not record successfully

• Check that there is some remaining blank space on the DVD/HDD.
• For a DVD-R/-RW (Video mode) or DVD+R, check that the disc isn’t
already finalized.
• Check the limits on the number of titles and chapters on a disc:
– HDD: 999 titles
– VR mode: 99 titles, 999 chapters per disc
– Video mode disc: 99 titles per disc, 99 chapters per title
– DVD+R/+RW: 49 titles per disc, 99 chapters per title (max 254
chapters per disc)
• Check that the source you are trying to record is not copy protected.
• For a VR formatted disc, check that the disc isn’t locked (page 98).
• The power may have failed during recording.

Timer programme
doesn’t record
successfully

• 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 DVD-R/-RW (Video mode) or DVD+R/+RW,
programmes that are copy-once protected cannot be recorded. Use a
VR mode formatted disc for copy-once material (page 35).
• Two timer programmes may have overlapped, in which case only the
earlier one will record completely.
• The power may have failed during recording.
