If you are still having trouble with the Recorder after checking Helpful Hints and other information in
this manual, you may perform a Diagnostic Test on the Recorder. Follow the steps below.
1
Disconnect the power cord from the Recorder’s MAINS (AC Power) jack on the
rear of the Recorder.
2
Press and hold the PLAY : button on the front of the Recorder while you recon-
nect the power cord to the Recorder. “BUSY” will appear on the display panel, along with
a counter number. Release PLAY :. The counter will reach zero (0) when the test is finished.
3
Momentarily, “FAIL” or “PASS” will appear on the display panel.
If “FAIL” appears, your Recorder needs repair. Contact the Philips Customer Care Center for
the Authorized Service Center nearest you.
If “PASS” appears, the Recorder apparently has no failure. The problem may be incorrect inter-
pretation of the operating instructions, a wrong Disc in use, or incorrect connections. Contact
the Philips Customer Care Center for further assistance in solving the problem.

If there is no failure, disconnect the power cord again, then reconnect it to the Recorder and an
AC power outlet. The DVD Recorder will be ready for regular use.
