Record (red key) : this feature enables you to record a digital channel even the TV is in standby mode. You will still have to programme your video recorder. If you wish to continue watching another digital channel after setting a timer, you can do so by changing channels in the normal way.

If your recorder supports *pin 8 recording, switch your recorder to that mode.

*Pin 8 recording refers to the technique of using the pin 8 signal on a Scart cable (normally used to indicate the presence of a signal for display on the TV) connected between an idTV/Set-top box and a VCR, to switch the recorder into record mode. The pin 8 signal effectively acts as a record on/off switch, whilst additionally signalling thes aspect ratio of the video signal carried on the cable.
