Installation

Initial installation

After you have successfully connected the DVD Recorder and other devices to your TV (as described in the previous chapter), this chapter will help you start the initial installation. The DVD Recorder automatically seeks and stores all available TV channels.

Switching on additional devices

If you have connected additional devices (satellite receiver,...) via the antenna cable, switch them on now. The automatic channel search will recognize them and save them. Please observe that you must switch on a "test signal" for some additional devices.

No antenna connected

If you are only using the DVD Recorder as a playback device or you only have a satellite receiver connected, you still need to perform the initial installation. This is necessary so the basic settings can be saved correctly. After the initial installation is completed once, you can use the DVD Recorder normally.
