7. Press the
Setup
button on the remote control. You will be prompted to make sure if
TV or CATV antenna is connected. If you wish to record TV programs onto DVDs using
the DVD Recorder, you should connect the antenna cable to the DVD Recorder before
continuing with the initialization process. See "Connecting the DVD Recorder to the TV
antenna cable" on page 17 for details.
Press the
OK
button on the remote control to continue. Even if no antenna cable is
connected, you must proceed with this step so that the DVD Recorder can complete
initialization.
The DVD Recorder will automatically search for and store TV or CATV Channel
frequencies that it finds on the ’ANTENNA’ cable connection. You can always use the
’SETUP’ menu to search for TV channels at a later time.
This will approximately take 5 ~ 6 minutes because the DVD Recorder searches all TV
frequencies and tests for a station signal. The progress is displayed on-screen.

the
OK
button, then press the
Down
or
Up
button on the remote control to select
your country from the list. If your country is not
on the list, select ’
Other
’. Press the
OK
button
to make the selection. Press the
Down
button on the remote control to proceed to the
next item.

format). This allows you to adjust the video output
for the playback of pre-recorded wide-screen
movies to suit your display screen shape.

movies which were recorded in a wide-screen mode.
