is not used the following steps are required:
Search for and store the test signal of the recorder
&
Unplug the aerial cable

of your recorder.

Switch on your TV and put the recorder on the test signal. (See the handbook for your
recorder.)

stored the TV signals. See Installation, Store TV channels, Manual Installation, p. 8.
