The EPG

To select a programme for recording or timed display

1With the EPG on display, press the V, v, B and b buttons to highlight a future programme, then press the OK button. The timer screen appears.

2Press the Red button and your VCR will automatically begin recording when the programme starts (if your VCR has SMARTLINK or synchro record facility), or press the Green button if you wish the programme to appear on screen when it starts.

Notes: If you do not have a SMARTLINK VCR, press the Red button to continue, then if necessary, set your VCR to synchro record mode, or set the VCR timer recording function to correspond with the start and stop times of the selected programme.

You may be asked to enter your PIN during this procedure.

As a precaution the receiver will extend the stop time you set by 5 minutes when recording.

Once a programme is stored for recording, a solid coloured bar in the display indicates the time allocated for the recording. This reminds you that you cannot record another programme during this period of time.

3Press the button to return to normal operation.
