TV Guide On Screen® Services

The TV Guide On Screen® system consists of five main services: LISTINGS, SEARCH, RECORDINGS, SCHEDULE, and SETUP.

Note:

•For the RECORDINGS service to display, an IEEE1394 recording device must be connected to the television (see Chapter 2); otherwise, only four services display. Recording to other devices, such as a VCR, are possible from within the LISTINGS service.

•When using the TV Guide On Screen® system to record a program for the first time, it is recommended that you perform a test recording to make sure your system is set up properly.

•If the power is cut or the plug becomes disconnected during timer recording, any recorded contents will be lost.

•If the TV power cord is unplugged for an extended period of time, it may take up to 24 hours with the TV in standby mode (power cord plugged in and power OFF) to download the entire TV Guide On Screen® program schedule. It may take up to a week before an entire program schedule is available. Be sure to follow the instructions under “TV Guide On Screen® Reminder” on page 40.
