      If your Polaroid DVD Recorder disc cannot be played, make sure that a disc has been inserted into the drive. Ensure the disc is placed correctly on the disc tray with the label side up.

      If your Polaroid DVD Recorder displays no color, the TV system selection might be wrong. Set up the system by pressing the “SYSTEM” button on the remote control.

      A sudden malfunction of your Polaroid DVD Recorder could be due to bad disc quality. Wait 5-10 seconds to see if playback is restored. It could also be due to a button being pressed mistakenly; in this case, turn off and restart the unit. Outside static can also cause this; shut off the unit for 1-2 minutes and then restart it.
