GUIDE to RE-TUNING DIGITAL TV CHANNELS
From time-to-time, new or changed digital television services
may be broadcast. To view these, your recorder should be retuned.
ANALOGUE SWITCH-OFF
This is a digital video recorder which allows use of digital
services. However, during the lifetime of this unit, it is very likely
that analogue services will be switched off to allow for more new
digital services.
This ‘switch-off’ will happen in a number of phases, and will be
advertised in your area well in advance. It is recommended that
at each phase the television is re-tuned to ensure that the
existing and new services can be viewed as they become
available.
STANDBY
Your recorder has an optional feature that finds new services
automatically if you leave it in the standby mode overnight
occasionally. However, to ensure the most updated digital
services, it is recommended you also auto-tune during major
changes, such as analogue switch-off.
RE-TUNING DIGITAL TV CHANNELS
Follow the procedure described on page 26, OPERATIONS.
Configure the initial settings.
Press the “Exit” key to cancel settings.
