such as:

–when you are watching a sourc e connected to the TV’s line input, or

–when the TV tu ner preset data for the programme position is different from the data in the

VCR tuner preset.

starts recording what you are watching on th e TV when you press zENR.

• You can turn the TV Direct Rec function OUI and NON in the OPTIONS-2 menu
