Troubleshooting
Others
Before requesting service for this DVD recorder, check the table below for a possible cause of the problem
you are experiencing. Some simple checks or a minor adjustment on your part may eliminate the problem
and restore proper operation.
Symptom Remedy
Power
The power does not turn on. • Check that the AC power cord is connected securely.
Picture
There is no picture. • Re-connect the connecting cord securely.
• The connecting cords are damaged.
• The Setup Display appears. Press SETUP or RETURN
button to turn off the display.
• Check the connection to your TV (page 13).
• Check if the INTERLACE/PROGRESSIVE mode is set correctly
according to your TV. See page 13.
• Switch the input selector on your TV (such as to "LINE1") so that
the signal from the DVD recorder appears on the TV screen.
Picture noise appears. • The disc is dirty or flawed.
• If the picture output signal from the DVD recorder passes
through your VCR to get to your TV, or if you are connected to
a combination TV/VIDEO player, the copy-protection signal
applied to some DVD programs could affect picture quality. If
you still experience this problem even when you connect the
DVD recorder directly to your TV, try connecting the DVD
recorder to your TV's S-VIDEO input.
TV program pictures are distorted. • Adjust TV antenna.
• Adjust the picture (see the TV's instruction manual).
• Place the DVD recorder and TV farther apart.
• Place the TV and any bunched antenna cables farther apart.
TV program reception does not fill the
screen. • Try to set the channels with "Auto Preset" in SETUP menu
(page 18).
• Select a channel of any TV program using the CH o / p
buttons.
The playback picture or TV program from
the equipment connected through the
DVD recorder is distorted. • If the playback picture output from a DVD player, VCR, or tuner
goes through the DVD recorder before reaching your TV, the
copy-protection signal applied to some programs could affect
picture quality. Disconnect the playback equipment in question
and connect it directly to your TV.
Sound
There is no sound. • The disc is dirty or flawed.
• Re-connect all connections securely.
• The connecting cord is damaged.
• Check the connections to the amplifier input.
• The input source setting on the amplifier is incorrect.

• The recorder is in fast forward or fast reverse mode.
• If the audio signal does not come through the DIGITAL AUDIO
OUT jacks, check the Audio Setup settings (pages 92-93).
TV channels cannot be changed. • Switch the input to TV.
• Connect the antenna cable correctly (page 13).
