TV Guide On Screen
TM
system (Continued)
Page
Continued on next page
As soon as the unit is turned
on, and when you try to start
scheduled recording, the TV
Guide On Screen
TM
system
setup begins.
≥
Even if you do not want to use the TV Guide On Screen
TM
system, you need to complete the
TV Guide On Screen
TM
system setup (until you have to press [ENTER] after the “Watch TV”
message screen is displayed). It will not be displayed after this point.
16
Some or all of the channels
display “No Listing”
≥
For a newly installed unit, the TV Guide On Screen
TM
system may not have been given
enough time to download the initial data. This procedure can only occur when the unit is in
standby mode for a period of 24 hours. (During this time, do not turn on the unit as the
download will be interrupted.) Once the procedure takes place the phrase “No Listing” will be
replaced with program information.
≥
The channel(s) in question was (were) recently turned “ON” (in the CHANNEL EDITOR
screen); however, TV Guide On Screen
TM
system has yet to receive channel data for this
channel. Leave the unit in standby mode.
≥
Immediately after beginning use there are several days of blank listings. You can display the
television program list for up to the next 8 days without any blank listings by downloading
program lists continuously over several days.
≥
The unit was left turned on for an extended period of time and the TV Guide On Screen
TM
system was unable to receive television program list data. Press [
Í
DVD POWER] to set the
unit in standby mode when not in use.
≥
During the data download the station from which data is downloaded had an unscheduled
power outage.
≥
If using an off-air antenna, marginally poor reception can cause some of the data to be missed.
≥
If using a cable TV box, it was accidentally turned off. In installations using a cable TV box,
the box must be left on continuously.

Cannot receive some channels
displayed on the television
program list.
≥
Cable TV subscribers receive channel data for all available channels your cable TV provider
offers. In order to view all the channels, you’d also have to subscribe to all the channels. If
you are connected to an off-air antenna the channel data you receive often represents a
viewing area larger than you would typically be able to receive. Your location, the type of TV
antenna you are using and your distance from each station’s transmitting antenna will all
determine which channels are viewable from your location. Once you’ve determined which
channels can be received, all others can be removed from the television program list. Set
these channels to “OFF” in the CHANNEL EDITOR screen.
29
Some off-air or cable channels
are not listed on the television
program list and even on the
CHANNEL EDITOR screen.
≥
Presently, the TV Guide On Screen
TM
system does not list all channels in any given
broadcast area. As a result, channels are selected primarily on a “majority rules” basis.
Channels with the highest potential viewership are given top priority.
≥
Data for local programming which is not provided to TV Guide’s data distribution network
would also not be available.

The program highlighted
doesn’t match up with the
video window on the TV
screen.
≥
The data entered during the initial setup was incorrect or the channel line-up you selected
was incorrect. Select “Change system settings” menu and verify the data entered during
initial setup. If the settings are wrong, set up the TV Guide On Screen
TM
system again.
≥
The station in question may have made recent program schedule changes and the TV Guide
On Screen
TM
system has not yet been updated.

—
The unit doesn’t change
channels or it changes to the
wrong channel.
Some channels are listed on
the wrong number.
≥
Data entered into the initial setup screen was done incorrectly. (e.g., The user entered the
wrong ZIP/postal code or selected the incorrect channel line-up.) Select “Change system
settings” menu and verify the data entered during initial setup. If the settings are wrong, set
up the TV Guide On Screen
TM
system again.
≥
The cable company has not yet informed industry sources of their channel line-up changes.
Use the CHANNEL EDITOR feature to make adjustments.
29
29
Two stations are received on
certain channels; morning and
evening programs differ.
≥
Such situations occur more frequently on cable TV. “Split” channels occur when the cable
provider may not have an adequate number of open channels and chooses to switch the
channel line to better suit the subscribers’ viewing habits. When a “Split” channel occurs,
program data for only one channel is usually provided.

Cable TV box doesn’t change
channels with TV Guide On
Screen
TM
system.
≥
The incorrect cable TV box brand code was selected during the initial setup. Select “Change
system settings” menu and verify the data entered during initial setup. If the setting is wrong,
set up the TV Guide On Screen
TM
system again.
≥
The user has incorrectly connected or positioned the IR Blaster. Please reconnect or reposition it.

≥
The unit and/or cable TV box is hooked up incorrectly. Please reconnect it, or contact the
cable company for proper wiring procedure.
