Getting started

Switching on and setting up

When you switch the recorder on for the first time, you can make several basic settings using the Setup Navigator feature. This takes you through setting the clock, the internal TV tuner and the video and audio output settings.

If you’re using the recorder for the first time, we strongly recommend you use the Setup Navigator before starting to use the recorder.

1Switch on your TV and set the video input to this recorder.

2 Press the STANDBY/ON button on the remote control or the front panel to switch on.

When you switch on for the first time, your TV should display the Setup Navigator screen. (If the Setup Navigator doesn’t appear, you can also access it from the Initial Setup menu; see page 76).

3 Use the (cursor up/down) buttons to select English or French as the OSD, subtitle, audio, and DVD menu language, then press ENTER.
