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 SHOWVIEW, the recorder will record a TV programme of a different station. When programming the timer using SHOWVIEW, be sure to check whether the channel position on which your recorder receives the broadcasting station you wish to record is selected (☞ pg. 22, "SHOWVIEW 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 with an unacceptable picture ☞ "Delete A Channel" on page 37.

INFORMATION

Your recorder is equipped with the Just Clock function which provides accurate time keeping through automatic adjustments at regular intervals, by reading data from a PDC signal. If you want to take advantage of this function, simply set it to "ON".
