Timer Recording/The GUIDE Plus+
®
System
Exception: Two Differ-
ent Sources
In some rare exceptions it might be best to
connect your equipment to two different
sources. For example you might want to use a
digital satellite or cable receiver for some
channels and an analogue terrestrial aerial for
other channels. Depending on your region it
might be necessary to identify your “Host
Channel” accordingly (see as well Step
4
and
Step
5
).
1
Connect your equipment accord-
ing to the chart in page
23
.
• If you only have one wall outlet you
can either use a “splitter” or connect
your Recorder to the wall outlet and
your external receiver to the AN-
TENNA OUT jack of your Recorder.
There is a “loop through” between
ANTENNA IN and OUT and therefore
delivers the same result as a splitter.

For the setup procedure, we
recommend that you first follow
the procedure for “Without
External Receiver”. (Page
46
) If
you are not able to receive data
you can tune manually to your
host channel as described under
“With External Receiver”. (Page
46
)
NOTE
• If you use two different sources (e.g. an
analogue terrestrial aerial and an external
receiver) it is possible that the GUIDE
Plus+ system is identifying the same
channel twice or two different host
channels. We recommend that you select
the host channel that is available through
the internal tuner.
NOTE
• Make sure that your Host Channel is always
turned ON and the correct source and
programme number is displayed in the
“Editor” screen. Otherwise you will not be
able to receive data.
• When a timer recording is scheduled
during the download time of the TV listings
data, the data may not be downloaded
successfully. Especially between 3:00 AM
and 5:00 AM is the time slot for
downloading the data. So, it is
recommended that you do not set a timer
recording which overlaps with the above
time slot.
Alternate Setup
If your external receiver is not in the list or
your external receiver could not be controlled
properly by the Recorder, please try the
following:
1. At Step
3
of page
47
, select “None” (at the
end of the list) for External Receiver Brand.
2. Press
GUIDE
to exit the Setup menu.
3. Tune your external receiver to your “Host
Channel” (see list of Host Channels in Step
5
) and leave it “ON” overnight (the
Recorder must be on “STANDBY” over-
night).
4. The next day, go back into the GUIDE
Plus+ setup menu to repeat the installation
of your external receiver (the “Language”,
“Country” and “Postal Code” entries should
be the same as you previously entered). If
the external receiver is still not in the list or
is not controlled properly by the Recorder,
please call Customer Support to report the
brand and model of your external receiver.
