TROUBLESHOOTING

A DVD+RW disc does not play

• There are DVD Players that will not play recordings made with a DVD

on a certain DVD player

Recorder. With a special procedure the recorder will solve this problem
for some players. Proceed as follows:
1. Put the disc in the drawer (do not close the tray)
2. Press and hold the

2

key on the remote control for several seconds

until the tray closes. The disc is now modified.
3. If the change has no effect, you may perform the same procedure
with the

3

key on the remote control.

Note :
Modifying the disc can solve the problem for a specific player model, but
playback in other DVD players may no longer be possible.
It is therefore recommended to use this procedure carefully and only when
needed.

• To revert the disc to the original state, follow the same procedure
with the

1

key on the remote control0

Note :
To achieve maximum compatibility, make sure the disc contains at least 5
minutes recorded in HQ mode, 10 minutes in SP, 12 minutes in SP+, 15
minutes in LP, 20 minutes in EP or 30 minutes in EP+ mode. For more
information about compatibility with DVD players refer to ‘Troubleshooting’ in
the instructions for Use.
