Remedy
• If using a cable box, check that it is turned on.
• Make sure the TV is set to the channel for the VCR. If
you are using a monitor, set it to video input.
• Check that the VCR is in stop mode.
• A power cut occurred or the VCR was disconnected
from the wall outlet for more than one hour. Turn off
the VCR so that the VCR can receive the program
listing data.
• Turn off the VCR. The next data transmission start
time appears in the information box of the Grid menu.
• A power cut occurred during the timer recording.
• Check that a tape isn’t 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.
• If you are not using S-Link

, make sure that both
miniplugs are unconnected.
• The command mode of the remote commander is
different from the one of the VCR.
• Make sure the CABLE BOX CONTROL option is set to
OFF.
• The recording condition of the tape is very poor and
tracking cannot be adjusted.
• Set your TV’s code number. The code number resets
when you replace the batteries of the remote
commander.
• Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a dry, soft
cloth, or a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution. Do not use any type of solvent,
such as alcohol or benzine.
