The timer does not operate.

• Check that the clock is set.
• Make sure a tape has been inserted.
• Check that the safety tab has not been removed.
• Make sure the tape is not at its end.
• Make sure a programme has been set for timer recording.
• Make sure your timer settings are past the current time.
• Check that the decoder is turned on.
• Check that the satellite tuner is turned on.
• The clock stops if the DVD-VCR is disconnected from 

the mains for more than one minute.  Reset the clock and

• Turn the power off and unplug the mains lead.

The VIDEOPLUS menu or the 
TIMER PROGRAMMING menu 
does not appear.

• Check that TIMER METHOD in the USER SET menu is 

set correctly (page 95).

The PDC function does not operate 
properly.

• Check that the clock and the date are set correctly.
• Check that the PDC time you set is the correct one (there 

might be a mistake in the TV programme guide).  If the 
broadcast you wanted to record did not send the good 
PDC information, the VCR will not start recording.

• If the reception is poor, the PDC signal might be altered 

and the VCR might not start recording.
