Make sure power cord is properly connected.

Check if there is power at the AC outlet by plugging in another

appliance.

Check if the TV is switched on.

Check the video connection.

Check the disc for fingerprints and clean the disc with a soft cloth,

wiping from the center to the edge in a straight line.

Sometimes a small amount of picture distortion may appear. This is not

a malfunction.

Ensure the disc label is facing upward and the right disc type is inserted.

Clean the disc.

Check if the disc is defective by trying another disc.

Check if the region code of the disc matches the region code of the

Recorder (pre-recorded DVD discs only.) See 'playing a pre-recorded

DVD-Video disc.'

Check if Child Lock is activated.

Check audio connections.

If using a HiFi amplifier, try another sound source.

phone input.

Check to make sure that analog input of the amplifier is not connected

to the digital output of the DVD Recorder.

The disc format does not match the color system of the TV

(PAL/NTSC).

Check the digital connections.

Check the settings menu to make sure the digital output is set to on.

Check if the audio format of the selected audio language matches your

receiver capabilities.

from the power source and reconnect it while pressing and holding

/ OPEN/CLOSE and 9 STOP for a few seconds.

Some operations are not permitted by the disc. Refer to the

instructions in the disc jacket or case.
