Helpful Hints

•Channels you add will be acces- sible through the DVD Recorder when you press the CH +/- but- tons on the remote while in Tuner mode. Channels you delete will be skipped when you press the CH +/- buttons. So, delete channels you rarely watch. This will quicken channel changing when you use CH +/-. You still can select the deleted channels by pressing the Number buttons on the remote while in Tuner mode.

•If new channels become avail- able in your area, or if you receive a channel that the Recorder did not program auto- matically during setup, add the channel. The channel will be accessible when you press the CH +/- buttons.
