'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.

Connecting additional devices

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.

The video recorder does not find any TV
channels during the search

* Select channel 1 on the TV. Can you see the
saved TV channel on the TV?
If not, check the cable connection of the aerial
(aerial socket), video recorder, TV.
* The video recorder searches the entire fre-
quency 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 chan-
nels.
