TV Direct Rec

If you use the SMARTLINK connection, you can easily record what you are watching on your TV. When the TV is turned on or in standby mode, press z REC. The recorder automatically turns on and starts recording what you are watching on the TV. “TV” appears in the front panel display. You cannot turn off the TV or change the programme position during TV Direct Rec. To turn off the function, set “TV Direct Rec” to “Off” in Features Setup (page 93).

About the Teletext function

Some broadcasts systems ensure a Teletext service* in which the complete programmes and their data (title, date, channel, recording start time etc.) are stored day by day. When recording a programme, the recorder automatically takes the programme name from the Teletext pages and stores it as the title name. For details, see “TV Guide Page” (page 93).

Note that the Teletext information will not appear on your TV screen. To view the Teletext information on your TV screen, press TV/DVD on the remote to switch the input source to your TV.
