18 Initial Setup
Initial Setup screens will appear the very first time you turn on the Recorder.
These on-screen messages and menus will help you set up Recorder features
quickly, including TV channels and language options.
During Initial Setup,“IS TV ON? CO3” will appear on the
Recorder’s display panel.The Initial Setup information shows on
your TV.
“IS TV ON? CO3” indicates you should turn on your television and
set it to channel 3 or the correct Video In channel. Even though
your TV may be on, you must set it to the correct Video In channel
to see the Initial Setup messages. See pages 9-14 to determine the
correct Video In channel for your connection. Or, check your TV
owner’s manual for details.

Recorder until you finish the Initial Setup.The only way to quit the
Initial Setup is to disconnect the power cord. If you quit, the Initial
Setup screens will appear again the next time you turn on the
Recorder.The screens will not go away until you finish the Initial
Setup. Also, you cannot open the Disc tray while “IS TV ON? CO3”
appears.
