DIRECT RECORD

With DIRECT RECORD, you can record the right TV channel in seconds even if your DVD/ VCR is switched off. If the recording is started manually, the DVD/ VCR uses the current TV channel set on the TV.You will find more information on how to switch 'DIRECT RECORD' on or off in the next sec- tion. Make sure that your DVD/ VCR socket (AV1/TV) and the TV are connected by a scart cable.

How does DIRECT RECORD work?

The DVD/ VCR compares the TV channel selected on the TV with its stored TV channels via the scart cable. If the same TV channel is found, it switches the DVD/ VCR to the corresponding pro- gramme number and starts recording. Please do not change the TV channel on the TV during the search so as not to affect the process.
