My machine will no longer allow my to dub from HDD to DVD. My practice has been to record programmes in LP then trim them and copy to DVDR, finalising to allow watching elsewhere as I live outside the UK. Now I get a message saying "cannot complete dub", on 3-4 out of 5 attempts. Often on removing the Disc I notice that an attempt has been made to write to disc - perhaps 3-4mm has been burnt, so I discard it and try again. On occasion the first programme on the disc index has been blank so I have also tried inserting a short 'sacrificial' programme segment as the first item. This no longer works. I have tried resetting the machine and updating the software as has previously been advised, have reset the digital channels and have opened it to make sure all links are made and have vacuumed it out as I read that dust may cause shorts. All to no avail.
I am running out of ideas now, but cannot abandon it as the alternative choices that cover my needs are getting rarer than hen's teeth.
