PROBLEM SOLUTION
Distorted sound coming
from a connected hi fi
amplifier b The DVD Recorder is connected to the 'Phono-input' of your amplifier: This input jack is
provided only for record players without a preamplifier. Connect to a different audio input.
The picture is distorted or
black white during
playback. b The color of the disc does not match that of your TV (PAL/NTSC).
b The recording can be made in color only when the TV channels or the connected additional
device sends a color signal. Black-white signals without color information (color subcarriers)
cannot be recorded in color.
No sound signal at the
digital output b Check whether the sound settings match the selected inputs and the connected additional
devices.
A DVD+RW cannot be
played on certain DVD
players b If a recording is too short, it is possible that a DVD player cannot detect it: Please observe
the following 'Minimum recording times':
Recording mode 'M1': 5 minutes, 'M2': 10 minutes, 'M2x': 13 minutes, 'M3': 15 minutes, 'M4':
20 minutes 'M6': 30 minutes 'M8': 30 minutes

using a special function:
1 Open the disc tray with OPEN/CLOSE J . Insert the disc but do not close the
tray.
2 Hold down the number button 2 on the remote control until the tray closes. The
