Initial installation

 

 

 

 

 

 

This chapter shows you how to start the initial installation. The video recorder automatically

 

 

seeks out and stores all available TV channels.

 

 

'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 set.

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.

1Confirm the image on the TV screen by pressing the OK button on the remote control.

Autoinstall starts. This picture will appear on the screen:

The video recorder does not find any TV channels during the search

Select channel 1 on the TV set. Can you see the saved TV channel on the TV set?

If not, check the cable connection of the aerial (aerial socket), video recorder, TV set.

Please have patience.

The video recorder searches the entire frequency range in order to find and save the largest possible number of TV channels. It is possible that the TV channels in your country are broadcast in a higher frequency range. As soon as this range is reached during the search, the video recorder will find the TV channels.

2When 'Autoinstall' is complete, 'STORED' will briefly appear on the TV screen.

The initial installation is now complete.

Check the date and time. Please read 'Setting the time and date' in this chapter.

Satellite receiver

If you are connecting a satellite receiver, please read the section 'Using the satellite receiver'.

Decoder

If you are connecting a decoder, you must install it as described in the next section.
