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 the SHOWVIEW

system, the recorder will record a TV programme of a different station. When programming the timer using the SHOWVIEW system, be sure to check the desired channel is selected correctly ( pg. 26, “ShowView® Timer Programming”).

Your video recorder memorizes all detected stations even if reception of some of them is poor. You can delete those stations with an unacceptable picture ( pg. 63, “Delete A Channel”).
