7.1 Easy Recording

The Easy Recording feature allows you to perform recordings without the necessity to program
your video recorder (VCR or DVD recorder). When you set a recording reminder or timer from
the Channel Banner or Timer Manager, the VCR starts/ends recording at the correct time.
Please note, however, that you may only use the Easy Recordingfeature provided that your
recorder supports it.
• First of all, consult User Manual of your recorder equipment to check if it supports Easy
Recording. Please note that most Philips VCR/DVD recorders support one of the two Easy
Recording options: either Prepare Record (to be checked first) or Record Link.
• Also, both your TV and VCR shall be equipped with two SCART sockets.
If your equipment satisfies above two conditions, connect your receivers as shown in the
Connection diagram below.
Then, select the System Settings item from the Settings submenu, enable the Easy Recording
feature by setting its option to YES, and assign to the Recording Typean appropriate value:
either Prepare Record or Record Link. You might have to test both settings to find out the one
applicable for your recorder.
