'Direct Record'

Can you record the right TV channel in seconds when the video recorder is switched off? No problem. If recording is started manually, the switched-offvideo recorder uses the current TV channel setted on the TV set.

'Easy Link' is used to transfer the TV channel for video recorders that are switched on and off. You will find more information on how to switch 'Direct record' on or off in the next section 'Direct record'.
