Notes

•If you use a satellite tuner connected via the EURO LINE (Scart) connector, you don‘t have to set up VIDEO Plus+. Just record a satellite programme using VIDEO Plus+, and the unit’s VCR automatically records the programme from the EURO LINE IN connector.

•When you record a satellite broadcast using VIDEO Plus+, you need to select the desired channel on the satellite tuner manually.

If your satellite tuner is connected via the AERIAL IN connector, you must first set the programme position for each satellite channel using the TUNER PRESET menu. Then, set the guide channel number for each satellite channel using the SET UP CH & VIDEO Plus+ menu.
