Tuning the French CATV channels

This recorder can scan the CATV channels B

number.

Press

until the selected programme

position row moves to the desired
programme position.
The selected programme position is
inserted at the new programme position.

Press ENTER to confirm the setting.

To change the programme position of
another station, repeat from step 2.

Some broadcast systems provide a Teletext
service* in which complete programmes and
their data (title, date, programme position,
recording start time, etc.) are stored day by
day. A TV guide page corresponds to each
day of the week. When recording a
programme, the recorder automatically takes
the programme name from the Teletext pages
and stores it as the title name. The TV guide
page numbers depend entirely on the
broadcast itself and may be subject to change.
If so, you may have to set those TV guide
page numbers manually in the TV Guide
Page menu.

* Not available in some areas.

Select “TV Guide Page” in “Basic,” and
press ENTER.
The TV Guide Page menu appears.

Select the programme position for which
you want to set or change the TV guide
page using PROG +/– or number buttons.
• The TV guide page numbers (Example:

P301) appear automatically when the
recorder detects them.

• If no page numbers are detected (P000),

you have to set the appropriate TV
guide page number manually.

Select the TV guide page number you
want to modify, and press ENTER.

Press the number buttons or

to enter the TV guide page number, and
press ENTER to confirm the setting.
• If you make a mistake, re-enter the

correct number.

• To return to the original settings, press

RETURN.

To set or change another TV guide page
number, repeat steps 3 and 4 above.

Hint

To view Teletext information on your TV screen
during a broadcast, switch to your TV’s tuner by
pressing TV/DVD.

Notes

• In step 4 above, enter “000” if you do not want to

use the TV guide page number for automatic
labelling. The recorder will instead store a default
title name (programme position, start time - stop
time).

• Refer to the Teletext information on your TV

screen to obtain the TV guide page number with
programme titles and their start times.

• If the Teletext TV guide has a page which always

shows the programmes for the current day, this
page should be input for all days.

• If you start recording more than three minutes

before the programme is scheduled to start, the
correct label information may not be transferred.

• Note that this function may not work correctly

with programmes broadcast from some stations.

• If the broadcast system updates the Teletext

information at the moment recording starts, the
title label may not correspond to the recorded
programme. In this case, you may have to
manually enter the correct title (page 34).

programme position in your local area
broadcasts a time signal.

Select “Clock” in “Basic,” and press
ENTER.

Select “Auto Adjust,” and press ENTER.

Select “On,” and press

Press

repeatedly until the

programme position of the station that
carries a time signal appears, and press
ENTER.

• If the recorder does not receive a time

signal from any station, “Auto Adjust”
returns to “Off” automatically and the
menu for setting the clock manually
appears on the screen.

Hint

If you set “Auto Adjust” to “On,” the Auto Clock
Set function is activated whenever the recorder is
turned off.

Note

The Auto Clock Set function does not work while
the recorder is standing by for Synchro-Recording.

To set the clock manually

If the Auto Clock Set function did not set the
clock correctly for your local area, try another
station for the Auto Clock Set function or set
the clock manually.

ENTER.

Select “Auto Adjust,” and press ENTER.
