Automatic channel search

In each region,TV stations are broadcast on different channels.Your DVD recorder cannot be

factory-set to receive the TV channels of your area.You will have to set up the channels by

following the automatic procedure recommended below.

Your DVD recorder is equipped with the AV Linkfunction.This function simplifies channel set-up by

downloading them from an AV Link or similar television set (Easy Link,Smart Link, Megalogic,etc .) which is

already set up.The channels downloaded in this way keep the same characteristics as those of your TV set

(same number,name, etc.).Your DVD recorder’s AV Link downloading function is enabled (factory setting).

When first turning on the DVD recorder,if the television is turned on, it will download the channels already

installed in your television set.If you wish to de-activate this function, see page 65.
