18 Initial Setup

Initial Setup screens will appear the very first time you turn on the Recorder. These on-screen messages and menus will help you set up Recorder features quickly, including TV channels and language options.

During Initial Setup,“IS TV ON? CO3” will appear on the Recorder’s display panel.The Initial Setup information shows on your TV.

“IS TV ON? CO3” indicates you should turn on your television and set it to channel 3 or the correct Video In channel. Even though your TV may be on, you must set it to the correct Video In channel to see the Initial Setup messages. See pages 9-14 to determine the correct Video In channel for your connection. Or, check your TV owner’s manual for details.

Recorder until you finish the Initial Setup.The only way to quit the Initial Setup is to disconnect the power cord.

Also, you cannot open the Disc tray while “IS TV ON? CO3” appears. (“INSTALL RECORDER FIRST” will show on the display panel.)
