Setting up the G-CODE system for satellite broadcasts (if applicable)

When your satellite tuner is connected via the AERIAL IN connector, first you have to set the programme position for each satellite channel using the TUNER PRESET menu. Then set the guide channel number for each satellite channel using the SET UP CH AND G-CODE menu.

If your satellite tuner is connected via the LINE-1 IN jacks, you do not have to set programme positions nor guide channel numbers for satellite channels. Skip the following operations.

Repeat this step for all satellite channels.

7Set the guide channel number for each programme position assigned to the satellite channel, following the procedures in “Setting up the G-CODE system manually” on page 23.

Notes

•The menu disappears automatically if you do not proceed for more than a few minutes.

•If you inadvertently entered a guide channel number, press >/. repeatedly to reset the “GUIDE CH” column to “---”. “---” appears between 1 and 255.

•The VCR does not allow entering the guide channel number, if the same number has been set.

•If you use a satellite tuner connected via the LINE-1 IN jacks, you do not have to set up the G-CODE guide channels. Just record a satellite programme using the G-CODE number, and the VCR automatically records the programme from the LINE-1 IN jacks.

•When you record a satellite broadcast using the G-CODE number, you need to select the desired channel on the satellite tuner manually.
