Other settings you can make

After setting up using the Setup Navigator, you should be
ready to start enjoying your DVD recorder. It’s possible,
however, that you may want to make a couple of
additional settings, depending on how the recorder is set
up for terrestrial TV broadcasts.
• Manual channel setting – This setting lets you skip
channels where there is no station, as well as
manually tune to stations. See
Manual CH Setup
on
page 47.
Set Guide Preset – This setting lets you assign guide
channels to ensure that the G-Code programming
system works correctly. See
Set Guide Preset
on
page 48.
Making your first recording
This quick guide shows you how to make a basic

this recorder.
