Initial installation
This chapter shows you how to start the initial installation. The
video recorder automatically seeks out and stores all available
TV channels.
'Aim' correctly
In the following sections, you require the remote control for
the first time. When using, always aim the front of the
remote control at the video recorder and not at the TV set.

After you have connected additional devices (satellite
receiver, etc.) through the aerial cable, switch them on. The
automatic channel search will recognise them and save
them.

channel on the TV set?
If not, check the cable connection of the aerial (aerial
socket), video recorder, TV set.

The video recorder searches the entire frequency range in
order to find and save the largest possible number of TV
channels. It is possible that the TV channels in your country
are broadcast in a higher frequency range. As soon as this
range is reached during the search, the video recorder will
find the TV channels.
