Preset Download
This allows the programme order from the TV to be downloaded to the VCR, helping to ensure that correct recordings are made; there are
several ways to perform this operation :
1. During installation as explained in the ’Quick Start Guide’ beginning on page 6.
2. When Auto setup is started from within the Tuning menu, see page 21.
3. Preset download started from the VCR, refer to the VCR operating instruction book.
Because a VCR cannot tune to DVB stations, only the analogue programme positions are downloaded to the VCR.
Since the TV stores analogue stations after DVB stations, analogue BBC1 may be stored at programme position 25, for example.
During downloading however, analogue BBC1 will be sent to the VCR as programme position 1. This allowsyou tofind stationson the VCR
where you would expect to find them, with BBC1 on position1, BBC2 on position 2, ITV on position 3 etc.
The fact that the analogue programme positions stored on the TV and those stored on the VCR do not match will not affect recording via
Q- -Link. When recording an analogue station using the DIRECT TV REC button (see page 40), the TV will instruct the VCR to select
the correct programme position for that station.
Important Note:
Not all VCRs support this type of data communication system. Some may support certain features, but not others. Refer to the VCR
operating instruction book.
If Q
--
Link is inoperative, first confirm that your Scart cable is a “fully wired” type. Ask your dealer for further details.
