Important

To control the HDD/DVD recorder, change the HDD/ DVD recorder’s input function and put the remote control in HDD/DVR mode. When the remote control is in HDD/DVR mode, the HDD/DVR screen is shown on the LCD.

The HDD/DVR settings are listed on three separate pages. To cycle between pages, use the PAGE button.

Switching on and setting up

When you switch the recorder on for the first time, you can make several basic settings using the Setup Navigator feature. This takes you through setting the clock, the internal TV tuner and the video output.

If you’re using the recorder for the first time, we strongly recommend you use the Setup Navigator before starting to use the recorder.
