Labelling a recorded programme and tape

Some broadcast systems ensure a Teletext service in which the complete programmes and their data (title, date, channel, recording start time etc.) are stored day by day. A TV guide page corresponds to each day of the week. When recording a programme, the VCR automatically takes the label information from the Teletext pages and stores it in the SmartFile label. The TV guide page numbers depend entirely on the broadcast itself and may be subject to change. If so, you may have to set those TV guide page numbers manually in the TV GUIDE PAGE menu.
