No image shown on the TV screen
Make sure the video cable (composite, component, SCART, S-Video,
HDMI, etc.) between TV and
DVD recorder is correctly and
securely connected.
Check whether you have switched your TV’s input source to
corresponding option (e.g. VIDEO 1, LINE 2, etc.), so that signal from
the DVD recorder can appear on screen. For further information, please
check the instruction manual offered by your TV manufacturer.
Make sure a disc is properly placed on the disc tray, and it is recorded in
a format compatible with your local TV system (NTSC or PAL).
Check your setting on component video output mode (Progressive or
Interlaced). Please select the output mode supported by your TV. To reset
the recorder, press
(direction button), ‘5’, ‘0’, ‘2’, ‘0’, ENTER on the
remote control.

Check if the disc is distorted or scratched.
If the video output signal from the
recorder goes via VCR to your TV set, or if you connect the recorder to a
TV/VCR set, the copyright protection code applied to some DVD
programs could affect picture quality. If you still experience this problem
even when you connect the recorder to TV, try connecting your recorder
to the TV’s S-VIDEO input.
Image imported from an external device is distorted
If the video signal from the external
device is copy-protected, you need to
connect the device directly to your TV.
