PROBLEM

SOLUTION

When viewing show content through

the Hard Disk Recorder, shows
appear to be in black and white.

• This condition will exist if you have a composite input source going

into the Hard Disk Recorder on LINE 2, but the input source in Setup

(on LINE 2) is set to S-Video. Go to Setup to correct the information.

When 1 select a channel in the
Channel Guide, the channel number
does not change on my satellite

receiver or cable box.

• If you’re using an IR blaster connection to control channel changing,

verify that you have affixed the IR blaster directly in front of the IR

detector on your cable box or satellite receiver.,

• Confirm that you have selected the correct IR code for your cable

box or satellite receiver. {Refer to “Cable Numbers For Your
Components” on pages 47 and 48 for a list of codes.)

When I select a channel in the

Channel Guide, 1 get a blue screen

that states “no video source."

• Confirm that you subscribe to the channel in question.
• Verify that the AN connections going from your cable box/satellite

receiver to the Hard Disk Recorder are correct.

• Verify that all your components are turned on.

When selecting a show in the Channei

Guide, 1 get a solid blue screen.

• Confirm that you have the correct input source specified in Setup,

(Note: Press the MENU button on the Hard Disk Recorder remote

control. Highlight Setup and press SELECT. Highlight Change Dialing

& input Settings and press SELECT. Use the ARROW buttons on the

remote control to highlight each input and verify that it is configured

correctly. Press SELECT when you’ve found the correct inputs.

When selecting a show from the

Channel Guide, 1 get a screen that
fades to black.

• Typically, this is caused by a weak video source. Contact Technical

Support for further suggestions by phone at 1-888-843-9788. Phone
support personnel answer calls between 6:00 AM and 6:00 PM
(PST), Monday through Friday.

After purchasing the Hard Disk
Recorder, 1 discovered that 1 have a

television without composite or S-

Video inputs.

• You can purchase an RF modulator, which will convert a composite

video signal into an RF signal. RF modulators can be found at most
electronics stores.

• Refer to“Connecting the Hard Disk Recorder to a TV That Has a VHF/

UHF jack only” on page 11.

Whiie setting up the Hard Disk

Recorder, 1 realized that the nearest

phone outiet is too far away to connect

to the Hard Disk Recorder directiy.

• If you do not have a phone jack near the Hard Disk Recorder, you

can use a wireless phone jack instead. In particular, the Phonex
Wireless Modem Jack (Part # PX-421) has been qualified to work

with the Hard Disk Recorder. It operates at speeds up to 33.6 baud.
Wireless phone jacks can be found at most electronics stores.

• For your convenience, Panasonic offers the Phonex Wireless

Modem Jack on-line at http://www.panasonic.com/video

Currently, the only phone tine near my

Hard Disk Recorder is being used by
my satellite receiver/cable box.

• The Hard Disk Recorder ships with a telephone splitter. This will allow

you to plug the Hard Disk Recorder and your cable box/satellite

receiver into the same phone line.

I’m having problems programming my

TVA/CR combination component.

• Try the VCR setup codes for your brand. Some combo units may

require both a TV code for volume control and a VCR code for the

remaining functions.

The VCR is not recording.

• As a safety feature on the Hard Disk Recorder remote, you must

press the REC button twice.

Channel +/- and JUMP features are

not working for my RCA TV.

• Due to RCA design (1983-1987), only the original remote control

will operate these functions.
