Watching Another

If your recorder is connected to the TV via the AV connection, press TV/VCR. The recorder’s VCR indicator and the TV broadcast being recorded disappear. Once recording is in progress, all you need to do is to set the channel controls on the TV for the station you wish to view.

The programme selected with the TV’s channel controls appears on the TV screen, while the one selected with the recorder’s PR buttons is recorded on the tape.

If a decoder is connected to the recorder ( pg. 42), you can select a scrambled channel as well with the TV channel controls.
