recorder's memory and the recorder will not perform Auto
Set Up again. You only need to set the clock. (
Z
pg. 56)
If you have moved to a different area, perform each setting
as required.

IMPORTANT
●
Depending on the reception conditions, the station names
may not be stored correctly, and auto Guide Program
Number Set may not work properly. If the Guide Program
numbers are not set properly, Video Plus+ timer recording
(
Z
pg. 26) will not work correctly; be sure to check if the
Guide Program numbers have been set correctly
(
Z
pg.12, "Video Plus+ Setup").
●
Since your video recorder memorizes all detected
stations even if the reception condition is poor, some of
those stored stations may produce a noisy picture. To
delete those stations,
Z
"Delete A Channel" on page 51.
●
When there is any problem such as the above, refer to
pages 50 - 53 to input station names (
Z
"Set Stations") or
delete unnecessary stations (
Z
"Delete A Channel"). You
can also change station preset positions (
Z
"Change
Station Preset Position").
