3) Channel Search
The DVD recorder automatically scans the signal coming through the cable connected to the CABLE/ANTENNA INPUT jack and prepares the channel list. The channel list determines what channels appear when you press the CH+ and CH- buttons.
A progress indicator appears on the TV screen. When the Channel Search reaches 100%, press OK (the Channel List appears). If the Channel List doesn’t appear, check the CABLE/ANTENNA INPUT jack to make sure the cable is connected properly.
Note: If you are using only a cable box or satellite receiver, there will be few, if any, channels in the channel list.
4) Channel List
The Channel List contains the channels you tune to when you press the CH+ and CH- (channel up and channel down) buttons on the remote control. From the Channel List screen, you can delete channels you rarely watch. You’ll still be able to tune to the “deleted” channels directly by using the number buttons on the remote control, but the DVD recorder won’t tune to a channel you delete when you press the CH+/CH- buttons on the remote control.
Press the down arrow button to scroll through the channels. A checkmark in the box next to the channel means it has been stored in the channel list. Highlight the channel and press OK to check or uncheck the box. You can also label channels by pressing the INFO button.
To skip editing the channel list, press the right arrow button.
5) Time Zone
Use the down arrow button to highlight your time zone, and press OK (the Daylight Savings Time screen appears).
6) Daylight Savings Time
If you live an area that recognizes Daylight Savings Time, press OK (the DVD recorder’s internal clock will automatically advance the time by 1 hour in the spring and set the clock back by 1 hour in the fall).
If you live in an area that doesn’t use Daylight Savings Time, press the right arrow button to highlight No, and press OK.
