'Aim' correctly

In the following sections, you require the remote control for the first time. When using, always aim the front of the remote control at the video recorder and not at the TV.

Connecting additional devices

After you have connected additional devices (satellite receiver, etc.) through the aerial cable, switch them on. The automatic channel search will recognise them and save them.
