Presetting TV programmes using the

EPG

Using the EPG, you can easily preset digital TV programmes for watching (auto channel select) and recording later.

You must also adjust your recording equipment settings to record the programme. Refer to the operation manual provided with your recording equipment.

Using auto channel select and standby recording

With the power to the system left on, this function automatically selects a preset TV programme when its on-air time comes. That way you will not miss the start of an important TV programme because you were enjoying another TV programme.

Even if the system is in the standby mode when the preset TV programme’s on-air time comes, the Plasma Television wakes up and outputs AV signals for recording.
