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.
