04Getting started

Even if you can’t use the EPG functions where you live, you can still set VIDEO Plus+ recordings and manual recordings — see Setting a manual recording on page 45.

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

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.

1 GUIDE Display the GUIDE Plus+ screen.

You should see a grid filled with channel logos and TV listings information. Use the

buttons to review the list. If you notice that there are channels missing, or that there are channels in the list that you don’t get, go to the Editor screen:

• Press

repeatedly until the Menu bar is

highlighted.

• Press

until Editor is highlighted. The

main area of the screen now shows a list of channels. Those that are turned ON are displayed in the grid; those that are OFF are hidden. Use the

buttons to move down the list and turn channels ON or OFF as necessary.

For any channel that you turn ON, the GUIDE Plus+ system will need to know how it is received (the source) and on which programme number. The source may be the built-in tuner of this recorder, or an external receiver. The programme number is the number on which the channel can be found on its receiving device/source. The entry in the Editor screen must match this number for correct recording of that channel.

The above is especially important for the ‘host channel’. Please make sure that the host channel is always switched ON.

Change the programme

numbers as you like.

Changing the programme numbers allows you to decide the order in which the channels change when stepping through them sequentially. You can do this to group certain channels together, for example.
