Getting started

Switching on and setting up

When you switch the recorder on for the first time, you can make several basic settings using the Setup Navigator. This takes you through setting the clock and the internal TV tuner settings.

If you’re using the recorder for the first time, we strongly recommend you use the Setup Navigator before starting to use the recorder.

Please use the Initial Setup if you want to make more detailed settings.

If you don’t want to use the Setup Navigator, press (cursor down) to select Cancel, then press ENTER to exit the Setup Navigator.

5 Use the (cursor up/down) buttons to select ‘Antenna’ or ‘Cable’ depending on how you receive your terrestrial TV channels, then press ENTER.

You can also select Do not set if you don’t need the recorder to retune all the channels (if you’re using the Setup Navigator for a second time, for example).

1Switch on your TV and set the video input to this recorder.

2 Press the STANDBY/ON button on the remote control or the front panel to switch on.

When you switch on for the first time, your TV should display the Setup Navigator screen. (If the Setup Navigator doesn’t appear, you can also access it from the Initial Setup menu; see page 45).

After selecting Antenna or Cable the recorder starts automatic tuning. This takes a couple of minutes to complete.
