Entering a ShowView Number

Pos/Name stands for Programme Position/TV Station Name.
Normally, the name of the TV station or the number of the
programme position is displayed under “Pos/Name”.
However, if the TV station information was not automatically
set during Preset Download or Auto Setup due to adverse
reception conditions, the “jj” indication appears instead.
In such a case, follow the operation steps below to correct it.
Press the Channel buttons :
repeatedly to select the programme
position on which the TV programme
to be recorded will be broadcast.
After you have entered the information of a TV station, it
remains stored in the VCR’s memory, and you do not need to
enter it again in the future.
