TROUBLESHOOTING
If something goes wrong, the first thing to do is to see whether you can correct
the problem yourself. The following overview may help you.
In no event should you attempt to repair the ap-
pliance yourself. If a repair is necessary, please con-
tact our service centre or another suitably specialist
workshop.
FAULT POSSIBLE CAUSE / CORRECTION
GENERAL
No standby indication Check the mains connection: is the plug fully engaged in the socket?
The recorder does not work Press
STANDBY/ON on the remote control or the front panel.
If the appliance has been affected by lightning, a static discharge or some
other external factor, try the following procedure:
press
STANDBY/ON on the front panel (Standby mode); Now unplug the
supply cable, pause and plug it in again.
The disc does not run although
PLAY has been pressed or it stops
almost at once.
Has the disc been inserted with the label side uppermost?
Check that the disc is not damaged by trying another disc. If the disc is dirty,
it can be cleaned by wiping with a soft, dry cloth from the middle to the edge.
Is the disc one of the playable types - DVD, VCD or CD?
If the disc is a commercial DVD, does it have the correct regional code (2)?
Condensation may have formed; allow one or two hours for the recorder to
dry out.
The recorder does not respond to
the remote control
Check that the batteries are not flat and that they are correctly inserted. En-
sure that there is no obstruction between the infrared transmitter of the re-
mote control and the sensor on the recorder.

cessing is incorrect?
