successfully changed, select 

 

Yes

 

 to confirm.

If the channel did not change, select

Plus+ system will try other codes assigned to your 
external receiver. If none of the codes changes the 
channel successfully, tune your external receiver to the 
host channel for your country (refer to step

 below) and 

leave it on overnight. The recorder needs to be in standby. 
It will wake up automatically and download new codes 
from the host channel. The next day, try this setup
