POOR RECORDINGS
: To prevent ruined recordings always check on the following:
1. Always purchase good quality / named branded discs’s. Some cheap / unbranded discs may give rise to
skipped / portions of the recordings to be missed.
2. It is essential that the discs are kept clean from
fi
nger prints and scratches. Always put the disc back
into its holder when not in use.
3. A feature of this DVD recorder is that it will carry on recording over scratches / blemishes or badly
made disc's. On play back of the recording this will show as parts of the recording being skipped.
This is NOT A FAULT OF THE PLAYER but a disc problem. Replace the disc with a new one if this
occurs.
