Recording Your DVD recorder has recording functions similar to a video recorder. It lets you record PROGRAMS to a disc in the DVD family DVD (DVD R/RW) or to the internal hard disc (DVR or HDD). For the same disc, the recording time depends on the quality settings that you can adjust according to the time left on the disc. The recording may be immediate or deferred. 27 Troubleshooting Remote control The remote control doesn’t work • Point the remote control at the front of your DVD recorder, not at your TV set. • The operating range of the remote control is up 20 to 25 feet. It gradually decreases as the batteries wear down. This is a good indicator of the state of the batteries. • Make sure no objects (or animals) are in the path of the infrared beam between the remote control and your DVD recorder. They may block the beam and thereby cause a malfunction of your DVD recorder. • The recorder is in copy mode. COPYING appears on the display. • Some DVD players made by the Thomson group react to the same remote control codes. To avoid this inconvenience you can modify your DVD recorder's setting by setting it to the A or B password (press the PLAY and AV buttons on the front at the same time). The remote control and the DVD recorder don’t work anymore: everything seems blocked • Unplug your DVD recorder from the mains for a few moments and plug it back in. Image problems You don’t see any picture • Turn on your TV set and your DVD recorder. • On your TV set, select the socket which receives the signals from your DVD recorder (AV1, TV1, AUX1, etc., depending on the make, if connected. • Make sure that all the connectors are correctly pushed into the various sockets. • In STOP mode, press several times the VIDEO OUT button on the remote control in order to switch the video signal to the correct format accordingly to the socket used for TV connection. More information The colors aren’t natural • Check that the cables are correctly pushed into the sockets of the various devices. The image format doesn’t match the screen format of your TV set • The image format is adjustable. With certain discs the format is imposed and cannot be changed. Sound problems No sound • Check that the audio settings are suited to the specifications of the device connected to the digital audio sockets (coaxial). The sound is very low or inaudible • The sound of the TV set has been cut or set at a very low level. Press the MUTE key on your TV set’s remote control and/or adjust the volume on your TV set (or amplifier, if such is the case). You can’t change the camera angle • Most DVDs do not have multiple viewing angles. When this option is available, it usually only applies to a few scenes. There is no sound with the image • Is the volume turned down? Playing problems The DVD doesn’t play, even when you press the PLAY button • The disc rating is higher than the limit that you have set. Fast forward or rewind doesn’t work • Some discs have scenes which do not allow fast forwarding, rewinding or chapter skips. When a command is prohibited or is not available for the current section or operating mode, a prohibition sign appears on-screen for a few moments. 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, the EXIT key of the remote control to remove it. • Check that you are using a DVD R/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 locked you can unlock it. • 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. Other operating problems Your DVD recorder doesn’t switch on • Is the mains socket to which you DVD recorder is connected receiving current? 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. • With a DVD: there are no subtitles. Check the disc jacket to see whether subtitles are available. Choose the ones you want. • The preferred language for DVD dialogues and subtitles was set upon initial installation of your DVD recorder. • You can also change the language while a disc is playing by pressing the INFO key and selecting the audio or subtitle icon.
