Further information
The display or reading of digital images in JPEG format is slow
• Image display can take a fairly long time, depending on the size of the images. If the images
are too “bulky”, your DVD recorder may not be able to display them correctly.
Recording problems
You cannot record on the disc
• If a message is displayed on the screen, press the CLEAR key of the remote control to
remove it.
• Check that you are using a DVD+R or DVD+RW disc.
• Perhaps the DVD+R disc is temporarily locked or definitively locked. If it is definitively
locked you can no longer record on it. If it is temporarily locked you can unlock it, see page
56.
• You cannot record on the same disc both video images and JPEG photos or mp3 music. Use
different DVD+R/+RW discs for each type of recording.
• Dirt and finger prints may affect the recording and playback. Please see page 68 of your User
Manual for information about proper handling of discs and proper disc cleaning.
Other operating problems
Your DVD recorder doesn’t switch on
• Did you move the DVD recorder? Check the power plug: is it well plugged into the mains
socket? Also check the power cable jack at the rear of the DVD recorder; is it well
pushed in.
• Is the mains socket to which you DVD recorder is connected receiving current? Try to
plug in a lamp or other electrical device: do they work? Check the corresponding fuse in
your house’s fuse box.
The menus or subtitles do not appear in the language you want
• With a DVD: the DVD menus are not displayed in your language. Check the disc jacket to
see which languages are available. Choose the language of your choice, if available (page
60).
• With a DVD: there are no subtitles. Check the disc jacket to see whether subtitles are
available. Choose the subtitles of your choice, if available (page 61).
• The preferred language for DVD dialogues and subtitles was set upon initial installation of
your DVD recorder.To change it, refer to pages 60 and 61.
• You can also change the language while a disc is playing by pressing the INFO key and
selecting the icon for dialogues or for subtitles.This choice is only valid for the disc
if it has not been removed from the disc drawer.
The menus of your DVD recorder do not appear in the language you want
• Check that your language is available in the settings menu (page 60). If not, choose another
language.
You can’t access the selected menu, even when you press OK
• If the name of the menu appears on a transparent background, it means that the
corresponding menu or function is not available.The Disc , Titles , and Play list menus are
contextual menus: they depend on operations performed beforehand such as:
• Disc is only accessible if there is a disc in the disc tray of your DVD recorder.
• Titles is only accessible once you have recorded a TV program or video sequence (from
an external device).
