Changing TV channels

There are three different ways to select TV channels. Note that you can’t change the TV channel during playback, recording or during recording standby.

CHANNEL

ENTER

•CHANNEL +/– buttons on the remote

•Number buttons on the remote – For example, to select channel 4, press 4 then ENTER; for channel 34, press 3, 4, ENTER.

•+/– buttons on the front panel

Note

•Channel presets are numbered 1–99.

•You can’t change TV channels during playback or recording, or while in recording standby.

Changing audio channels

You can change the audio channel of the broadcast or external input signal.

AUDIO

•Press AUDIO to change the audio.

The current audio channel is displayed on-screen.

•If the NICAM audio setting (see NICAM Select on page 103) is set to NICAM and you are watching a NICAM broadcast, you can switch between NICAM and Regular (non-NICAM) audio.

•If the NICAM broadcast is bilingual, you can also select the language.

NICAM A NICAM B

Regular NICAM A+B

•You can also select the language for a non-NICAM bilingual broadcast.

A (L) B (R)

A + B (L+R)

•When watching a recording made from an external input with Bilingual recording selected (see External Audio on page 103), you can switch the audio channel between left (L), right (R) or both (L+R).

L R

L+R

Note

•When recording to the HDD, or in Video mode, or in VR mode using the FINE/MN32 setting, only one channel of a bilingual broadcast is recorded. In this case, decide which language you want to record before recording by setting the Bilingual Recording setting (see Bilingual Recording on page 104).

Switching between TV and DVD

When the recorder is stopped or recording you can choose whether to have the audio/video from the built-in TV tuner (or external input) play on your TV (‘DVD mode’), or watch the channel that the TV is currently set to (‘TV mode’).

During playback or when a menu is being displayed on- screen, the sound and video is always routed to your TV and is unaffected by the TV/DVD mode setting.

Note that the recorder must be connected to your TV using a SCART cable to be able to use this feature.

TV/DVD

•Press TV/DVD to switch between TV mode and DVD mode.
