About EPG download

•EPG data can only be received when the recorder is in standby. (When not using the recorder, therefore, please switch it into standby.) If you’re using an external receiver, leave this on when EPG data is downloading.

•If you cannot receive any of the host channels (see the above table) then you won’t be able to use the GUIDE Plus+ system. In this case do not set the postal code (or set Country to Other) in the GUIDE Plus+ setup screen. (When GUIDE Plus+ service starts in your area, set the postal code again.)

•Even if you can’t use the EPG functions where you live, you can still set VIDEO Plus+ timer recordings and manual recordings — see Setting a timer recording on page 59.

•The front panel display shows EPG when receiving data. If you power on the recorder during an EPG download, the download is canceled.

•EPG data may be received several times a day. All updates are automatic.

•When downloading EPG data, the recorder may sound as though it is on. This is normal.
