Display the GUIDE Plus+ screen.
You should see a grid filled with channel
logos and TV listings information. Use the
buttons to review the list. If you notice
that there are channels missing, or that
there are channels in the list that you don’t
get, go to the Editor screen:
• Press
repeatedly until the Menu bar is
highlighted.
• Press
until
Editor
is highlighted. The
main area of the screen now shows a list
of channels. Those that are turned
ON
are displayed in the grid; those that are
OFF
are hidden. Use the
buttons to move down the list and turn
channels
ON
or
OFF
as necessary.
• For any channel that you turn
ON
, the
GUIDE Plus+ system will need to know
how it is received (the source) and on
which programme number. The source
may be the built-in tuner of this recorder,
or an external receiver. The programme
number is the number on which the
channel can be found on its receiving
device/source. The entry in the Editor
screen must match this number for
correct recording of that channel.
• The above is especially important for the
‘host channel’. Please make sure that
the host channel is always switched
ON
.

Change the programme
numbers as you like.
Changing the programme numbers allows
you to decide the order in which the
channels change when stepping through
them sequentially. You can do this to group
certain channels together, for example.

When you’re done, press the BLUE
Action button (Home) to get back to the
GUIDE Plus+ home screen.
