Helpful Hints

•Added channels will be accessi- ble in Monitor mode when you press CH +/-. Deleted channels will be skipped when you press CH +/-. Delete channels you rarely watch; this will quicken channel changing when you use CH +/-. You still can select deleted channels with the Number buttons.

•If new channels become avail- able, or if you receive a chan- nel the Recorder did not add during setup, add the channel.

•The Recorder detects whether you connected an Antenna or Cable TV signal. If you connect- ed a Cable TV signal but are receiving limited channels, reset your channels. Follow steps 1-2 above. Then, press o or p to choose Cable/Antenna, then press OK. Press B or s to choose Cable or Anten. (antenna) (based on your connection) or Auto (if you want the Recorder to keep detecting the signal).
