For Ireland model (AV28CT1EI):

•

If your TV can detect the TV channel name from the TV channel broadcast signal, the TV channel name is assigned to the programme number (PR) to which the TV channel has been set. However, which TV channels are set to which programme numbers (PR) will depend on the area in which you live.

•

programme number PR 0 (AV) for your video cassette recorder. You will need to set this using the MANUAL function.

In some areas you may get TV reception from more

•

than one transmitter, for example different ITV regions. In this case each TV channel could be set twice. If this happens, the first set of channels will have the stronger signal. If you want to delete the second set of channels, you will have to do it manually (see page 28).

T-V LINK functions

T-V LINK functionsT-V LINK functions

When you have a T-V LINK compatible VCR connected to the EXT-2 Terminal on the TV, it is easier to set up the VCR and to view videos. T-V LINK uses the following features:

Pre-set download

■■■■

Pre-set downloadPre-set download

The VCR will automatically download the registered data on the TV channels from the TV. This means you do not need to set up the program channels on your VCR manually. The preset download function automatically begins when the initial setting is complete or whenever you carry out the AUTO PROGRAM or EDIT/MANUAL functions.

You can also carry out this function using your VCR controls.

When “FEATURE NOT AVAILABLE” is displayed:

If “FEATURE NOT AVAILABLE” is displayed, the download was not performed correctly. Before trying to download again, check that:

• the VCR power is turned on

• the VCR is T-V LINK compatible

• the VCR is connected to the EXT-2 terminal

• the SCART cable is fully wired

Direct Rec

■■■■

Direct RecDirect Rec

“What You See Is What You Record”

You can easily record to VCR the images that you are watching on the TV.

For details, read the manual for your VCR. Use your VCR controls. “VCR IS RECORDING” is displayed.

In the following situations, the VCR will stop recording if the TV is turned off, if the TV channel or input is changed, or if the menu is displayed on the TV:

• when recording images from an external device connected

to the TV (for example a camcorder)

• when recording a TV channel after it has been unscrambled

on a decoder

• when recording a TV channel by using the TV’s output

because the VCR’s own tuner cannot properly receive that channel

You cannot carry out Direct Rec using your TV’s control.

•

Generally, the VCR cannot record a TV channel that it

•

cannot receive properly on its own tuner, even if you can view that TV channel on the TV. However, some VCRs can record a TV channel by using the TV’s output if that channel can be viewed on the TV. For details, see your VCR instruction manual.
