TV Shape?
'4:3 letterbox' for wide-screen (cinema format) with black borders at the top and
bottom of the screen.
'4:3 panscan' for a full-height picture with cropped edges.
'16:9' for a wide-screen TV set (screen edge ratio 16:9)
Why do I have to set the country?
To call up the specific settings for the respective country, you must first install
the country.
The DVD recorder cannot find any TV stations.
• Select channel 1 on the TV set. Can you see the stored TV channel on the
TV set? If not, check the cable connection from the aerial (aerial socket) to
the DVD recorder and to the TV set.
• The DVD recorder searches the entire frequency range in order to find and
store 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 DVD recorder will find
the TV channels.
• If no aerial is connected, complete the basic settings and then, if desired,
start the automatic channel search (see section 'Automatic TV channel
search (Autom. search)').
TV channels from a satellite receiver (connected to scart socket EURO AV2 ) are received on the DVD recorder
on programme number 'EXT2'.
If necessary, use the [OUTPUT] button to switch to the internal tuner.
Then select programme number 'EXT1’ with [0] on the remote control and programme number 'EXT2' with [PR–].
You should select the TV channels to be received by the satellite receiver directly on the receiver itself.
Using a satellite receiver
After successfully connecting your DVD recorder to the TV set and other additional devices, this chapter will
show you how to start the initial installation.
The DVD recorder automatically seeks out and stores all available TV channels.
