The VCR needs to find, identify and memorise all available stations in your area in order to
record programmes correctly. Once done, pressing the
PR
or

buttons enables you to
jump to the available channels without going via any vacant channels. This channel search
can be done either automatically or manually. You should only need to perform either of the
following procedures if Auto Setup or Preset Download has failed to identify and record
available channels or you have moved to a new area.

manual), the
AUTO SET
screen will appear on the TV and remains
there for about 4–12 minutes while the VCR searches for receivable stations. During Auto

NOTES ON CHANNEL RECEPTION
incorrect station id
In certain reception conditions, station
names may not be stored correctly by the VCR and Auto Guide Program Number Set may not
work properly. If the Guide Program Numbers are not set, entering a PlusCode number, may
result in an incorrect channel being recorded.
poor reception
The VCR memorises all stations found regardless of their quality. If a station’s
quality is poor, you can delete that station from the memory (
see page 50
).
