IMPORTANT

■In certain reception conditions, station names may not be stored correctly, and auto Guide Program Number Set may not work properly. If the Guide Program numbers are not set properly, when you timer-record a TV programme using Video Plus+, the recorder will record a TV programme of a different station. When programming the timer using Video Plus+, be sure to check that the preset position corresponding to the broadcasting station you wish to record has been selected (☞ pg. 12, "Video Plus+ Timer Programming").

■Your video recorder memorizes all detected stations even if reception of some of them is poor. In these cases picture quality may be poor. To delete those stations which have an unacceptable picture ☞ "Delete A Channel" on page 35.

■If any of the above problems occur, refer to pages 34 – 36 to input station names (☞ "Set Stations") or delete unnecessary stations (☞ "Delete A Channel"). You can also change station preset positions (☞ "Change Station Preset Position").

■For RF connection users: In certain reception conditions, the Video Channel may not be set correctly and interference may appear in the TV picture while the recorder's power is on. Set your Video Channel manually. ☞ pg. 30, "Video Channel Set".
