Initializing the DVD Recorder
Eng
lish
Initial startup (virgin mode)
This procedure is only required when the DVD Recorder is plugged in and powered up for the
first time ever. Before you proceed, you must have already connected the DVD Recorder to a
display device and turned that device on so that you can see the OSD ’Setup’ menu of the DVD
Recorder. You must also have connected the DVD Recorder to the TV antenna (if required),
and have assembled the remote control (i.e. fitted the batteries correctly). For details, see
"Initializing the DVD Recorder" on page 24, and "Remote control setup" on page 25.
1. The initial setup menu will display on-screen starting with language setup. This is the
language which will be displayed on screen in the ’Setup’ menu by the DVD Recorder. The
default is ’
English
’.
If you wish to retain ’
English
’ as the OSD language, press the
OK
button on the remote
control.
Should you wish to change to another language, press the
Down
or
Up
button on the remote control to select your desired language, then press the
OK
button
to make the selection.
2. You will then be asked to select a TV input source.
This step allows you to select the correct type of TV antenna cable you have connected to
the DVD Recorder.
If TV signal is connected to the DVD Recorder, press the
OK
button on the remote
control. If CATV cable is connected to the DVD Recorder, press the
Up
or
Down
button on the remote control to move the highlight bar to ’
CATV
’ and then press
the
OK
button to make the selection.
The DVD Recorder will automatically search for and store TV or CATV Channel
frequencies that it finds on the ’ANTENNA’ cable connection. Even if no antenna cable is
connected, you must proceed with this step so that the DVD Recorder can complete
initialization. You can always use the ’Setup’ menu to search for TV channels at a later time.
If you wish to record TV programs onto DVDs using the DVD Recorder, you should
connect the antenna cable to the DVD Recorder before continuing with the initialization
process. See "Connecting the DVD Recorder to the TV antenna cable" on page 15 for
details.
3. This may take several minutes because the DVD Recorder searches all TV frequencies and
tests for a station signal. The progress is displayed on screen.
4. After the channels are scanned and stored, you will be asked to perform time setup.
The time will be used by the DVD Recorder when it saves video files onto DVD, and for
determining timer functions. It is also displayed on the front panel when the DVD
Recorder is in standby mode after initialization.
How to set the Time
Set the Time automatically
If your local broadcasting system supports automatic time setup, you can let the DVD
Recorder set up current time automatically using the information broadcast from the system.
1. Select the ’
Auto
’ option by pressing the
OK
button on the remote control.
2. Press the numbered buttons on the remote control to enter the number of the channel
that transmits time information.
Tip:
Consult your local TV/CATV system service provider for more information about the channel that
transmits time information.
