Troubleshooting guide

Recording and timer recording Page

The precision parts in this unit are readily affected by the envi-

ronment, especially temperature, humidity, and dust. Cigarette

smoke also can cause malfunction or breakdown.

To clean this unit, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.

≥Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit.

≥Before using chemically treated cloth, read the instructions that

came with the cloth carefully.

Observe the following points to ensure continued listening and

viewing pleasure.

Dust and dirt may adhere to the unit’s lens over time, making it

impossible to record or play discs.

Use the DVD-RAM/PD lens cleaner (LF-K123LCA1) about once

every year, depending on frequency of use and the operating envi-

ronment. Read the lens cleaner’s instructions carefully before use.

Cannot record. ≥You haven’t inserted a disc or the disc you inserted cannot be recorded on. Insert a disc the

unit can record onto.

≥The disc is unformatted. Format the disc so this unit can record on it. [RAM]

≥The write-protect tab on the cartridge is set to PROTECT.

≥Some programs have limitations on the number of times they can be recorded (CPRM).

≥The disc is protected with DISC SETTING.

≥The HDD or the disc is full or nearly full. Erase unneeded programs or use another disc.

≥You cannot record on finalized DVD-R discs.

VCR Plusr programming

does not work properly.

≥The guide channels are incorrect. Go to the Channel menu and correct them with “VCR

Plusi CH Setting”.

≥The clock is wrong. Go to the Set Up menu and correct it with “Clock Settings”.

Timer recording does not

work properly.

≥The timer program is incorrect. Correct the program.

≥Different timer program times overlap.

≥The clock is wrong. Go to the Set Up menu and correct it with “Clock Settings”.

—

The unit switches to standby

while making a timer record-

ing.

≥The disc has run out of space. Use a disc that has enough space to record the program. —

The timer program remains

even after recording finishes.

≥The program remains if you select “DAILY” or “WEEKLY”. 25

Timer recording does not

stop even when [∫] is

pressed.

≥Press [∫] and then [ENTER] within 5 seconds to turn “F” off. Recording stops. —

The available recording time

doesn’t increase even after

erasing recordings on the

disc.

≥As this unit is unable to erase data written to DVD-RAM with a computer, the available record-

ing time does not increase. The data will be erased if you reformat the disc.

≥If the disc is dirty, wipe with the DVD-RAM/PD disc cleaner (optional) before formatting.

≥Available recording space on the DVD-R does not increase even after erasing previously

recorded programming.

—

A part or whole of a recorded

program has been lost.

≥If there is a power failure or the plug is disconnected from the household AC outlet while

recording or editing, the program may be lost or the HDD/disc may become unusable.

‹ We cannot offer any guarantee regarding lost programs or discs. You will have to format

the HDD/disc or use a new disc.

—

Cannot dub to a DVD-R disc

using the high speed mode.

≥When recording to the HDD, set “DVD-R compatible Rec” to “On” from the Disc menu. Note

that you cannot dub programs to a DVD-R disc using the high speed mode if you recorded the

program on a DVD recorder that does not have the “DVD-R compatible Rec” function, even

when dubbing to the HDD with this setting “On”.

Discs make sounds as they rotate. This does not indicate a malfunction.
