AIf both auto channel set and auto clock set have been performed successfully:

1 Perform "Video Channel Set" on page 8.

2 Turn on the TV and select its VIDEO channel or AV mode, then make sure that all necessary stations have been stored in the recorder's memory by using the TV PROG button(s).

If station names (ID — pg. 39) have also been stored in the recorder's memory, the station name will be displayed at the top left corner of the screen for about 5 seconds when the recorder is tuned to a different station.

If you want to set the tuner manually such as to add or skip channels, to change channel positions, or to set or change station names, see pages 36 – 38.

BIf auto channel set has succeeded but auto clock set has not:

1 Perform "Video Channel Set" on page 8.

2 Turn on the TV and select its VIDEO channel or AV mode, then make sure that all necessary stations have been stored in the recorder's memory by using the TV PROG button(s).

If station names (ID — pg. 39) have also been stored in the recorder's memory, the station name will be displayed at the top left corner of the screen for about 5 seconds when the recorder is tuned to a different station.

If you want to set the tuner manually such as to add or skip channels, to change channel positions, or to set or change station names, see pages 36 – 38.

3Perform "Clock Set" on page 42.

CIf both auto channel set and auto clock set have failed:

1 Make sure the TV aerial cable is connected properly to the recorder and turn off the recorder power once, then turn the recorder power back on again.

The Country Set display appears on the front display panel and/or on the screen; perform steps 2 5 on pages 4 – 5 again.

IMPORTANT

In certain reception conditions, station names may not be stored correctly, and auto Guide Program Number Set may not work properly. If the Guide Program numbers are not set properly, when you timer-record a TV programme using SHOWVIEW, the recorder will record a TV programme of a different station. When programming the timer using SHOWVIEW, be sure to check whether the channel position on which your recorder receives the broadcasting station you wish to record is selected (pg. 22, "SHOWVIEW Timer Programming").

Your video recorder memorizes all detected stations even if reception of some of them is poor. In these cases picture quality may be poor. To delete those stations with an unacceptable picture "Delete A Channel" on page 37.

INFORMATION

Your recorder is equipped with the Just Clock function which provides accurate time keeping through automatic adjustments at regular intervals, by reading data from a PDC signal. If you want to take advantage of this function, simply set it to "ON".
