Other settings you can make

After setting up using the Setup Navigator, you should be ready to start enjoying your DVD recorder. It’s possible, however, that you may want to make a couple of additional settings, depending on how the recorder is set up for terrestrial TV broadcasts.

•Manual channel setting – This setting lets you skip channels where there is no station, as well as manually tune to stations. See Manual CH Setup on page 47.

•Set Guide Preset – This setting lets you assign guide channels to ensure that the G-Code programming system works correctly. See Set Guide Preset on page 48.
