ShowView and the satellite demodulator

J

If you use the ShowView codes to record a programme broadcast by satellite, the ShowView
programmer can ask you to confirm the channel number (Pr99 / AV1 / AV2). 

• Connection by the aerial cable - During the automatic channel set-up, the video recorder
has assigned channel number 99 to the satellite receiver connected by the aerial socket. Select
this number to view the pictures of the satellite channels. Should these pictures not come up on
the screen, refer to the chapter “New or encoded channel” (page 5).
• Connection by the AUDIO/VIDEO 1 or 2 socket - If your satellite receiver is connected to
the video recorder by the audio video socket, do not choose a number but select the 
AV1 or AV2 socket.

Storage of the programme numbers with the ShowView feature

J

To spare yourself from having to enter the corresponding programme number in addition to the
ShowView code, the video recorder automatically stores the numbers of the channels you have
chosen to record with the ShowView feature. 
This is to say that on your FIRST selection of a channel to programme a recording with the
ShowView feature, the video recorder will prompt you to confirm or enter the channel number. When
programming your next ShowView recording, the video recorder will automatically identify the
channel concerned.
