most of the existing DVD-Video players and  
What are Titles and Chapters?

If you set the Record Mode to a low-quality speed, change  
to a higher-quality speed after you finish recording. Leaving  
the DVD recorder set to a low-quality speed may affect the  
picture quality when playing DVDs later. Read chapter  
“Recording - Recording settings” for details.  
The recording can be made in colour only when the TV  
channels or the connected additional device sends a colour  
signal. In some situations, programs that are broadcast in  
black and white cannot be recorded.  
The TV channel you want to record is not stored or you  
selected the wrong program number. Check TV channels  
stored.  
If you adjust the clock after you set a timer recording, you  
have to reset the timer recording.  
If the DVD recorder cannot read the disc, you cannot  
record.  
You cannot use the DVD recorder to duplicate copyrighted  
materials (DVDs or videotapes) onto a DVD R/ RW.

the TV is fine, but the recording on a DVD R/ RW is  
faulty. This interference is unavoidable with copy-protected  
DVDs or video cassettes.
