The EPG menu

To select a programme for recording or timed display

With the EPG menu displayed press the V, v, B and b buttons to highlight a future programme, then press the YELLOW button to display the ‘Timers’ pop-up menu. This option allows you to choose from a) Record, b) Wakeup or c) Manual.

a) Record

Highlight ‘Record’ and press the OK button to automatically set your VCR to record the selected programme.

Note:

This option only works if your VCR has Smartlink capability and is connected to the AV3 socket on the rear of the TV. If you do not have a Smartlink VCR, you must now set the timer recording function of your VCR to switch on and off to correspond with the programme you have stored for recording.

When a programme has been set for recording, a solid red bar appears under the timer bar in the menu. This coloured bar shows the time allocated for recording and reminds you that you are unable to record other programmes during that time period.

OK

b) Wake up

Highlight ‘Wake up’ and press OK if you wish the future programme you selected to automatically appear on screen when transmission starts. When you use this option a solid green bar appears under the timer bar in the menu. This indicates that a wake up request has been activated. Just before transmission begins, a reminder will appear on screen asking you if you still wish to view the programme.

c) Manual

Highlight ‘Manual’ and press OK if you wish the TV to output a channel to your VCR for recording when the transmission begins. The following display appears.

Press the V or v button to set the day of recording, then press the b button to move to the start time. Repeat this procedure to set the start and stop times and the channel number, then press the OK button to store and return to the EPG menu. Press the button to remove the EPG menu. Unless you have a Smartlink VCR, you must now set the timer recording function of your VCR to switch on and off to correspond with the programme you have stored for recording.

Notes on recording:

The ‘Manual’ feature only works if you have connected your VCR to the AV3 socket 3 s 3 on the rear of the TV. After you have programmed a recording you can put the TV into its standby mode, but do not switch off completely or the recording will be cancelled. If you put the TV into standby mode, the standby indicator on the front of the TV flashes green periodically to remind you a recording has been programmed. Once a programme has started recording, do not change channels or switch to analogue mode or the recording will be cancelled.

The Timers pop-up menu also has a ‘Timer List’ option. If you highlight this and press the OK button, a screen is displayed showing all the programmes you have set for recording or wake up. To delete one of these programmes, proceed as follows:
