2. When the power is turned on, the logo is displayed for some time before the picture appears.

drive, the logo will be displayed on the screen for about 15 seconds after power-on.

- Is the DHR tuner properly set?
- Check the HDD's free space.
4. Timer recording was unsuccessful

incoming live broadcast is reached and played back at normal speed again.
6. The picture is played back at 2X speed in the reverse direction while watching a broadcast.

television programming. You can watch the program starting from as far back into the program as the
time set in the Setup.

program.
7. The Copy key is pressed, but does not respond.
- The copy function will only work with DVDs, but if they contain a copy-protection signal the copy
operation cannot be performed.
- Discs other than DVDs, such as VCDs and CDs, cannot be copied.
8. The recorded video signals cannot be combined.
- The Combine operation is possible only on the files with the same record speed.
That is, it doesn't work if one file is in SHQ mode and the other is in HQ mode.
9. I have forgotten the password.
- In the DVD mode, while "NO DISC" is displayed, press and hold down both the
front panel at the same time for over 5 seconds to initialize the password to "1111".
