Is your recorder ready?
• Refer to the supplied “INSTALLATION GUIDE”
manual and finish the necessary preparations.

audio system and select the input from the recorder.
Turning the power on
(This owner’s manual instructions are based on
the assumption that all proper connections have
been completed and the TV is turned on.)
Press ON/STANDBY on the front panel of the
recorder or on the remote control.
When the power turns on, the ON/STANDBY indicator
changes colour from red (standby mode) to green
(operation).
After a few seconds, a start-up screen appears.
The following icon appears at the top right corner of
the screen.
When this icon disappears, the recorder is ready to
operate. If the disc drive contains a disc, it takes a
little longer to start up.

You can select a desired channel by pressing the
PROGRAM or the number buttons.
