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 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 Setting on page 96.

•VCR Plus+ channel setting – This setting lets you assign guide channels to ensure that the VCR Plus+ programming system works correctly. See VCR Plus+ CH Setting on page 96.

That completes basic setup using the Setup Navigator.

•Setting up the remote to control your TV – You can set up the supplied remote control to control many brands of TV. See Setting up the remote to control your TV on page 106.
