Setting up your TV
Pre-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
“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.
When the VCR is not ready (for example
when there is no tape inserted), “NO
RECORDING” is displayed.
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.
