First, check that the MAIN POWER switch on the rear panel is set to the [ (on) position. Second, make sure the AC power cord is properly connected to the AC outlet.
Why is there no sound or noisy sound on my Sony DVD Recorder?

Why won't my Sony DVO-1000MD DVD Recorder record?
If your Sony DVD Recorder isn't recording, ensure that the disc isn't write-protected; if it is, replace it with a writable disc.

Finally, confirm you're using a compatible DVD+RW disc.
