The GUIDE Plus+ system
The GUIDE Plus+
®
system* is a free, interactive on-
screen television programming guide.
1
The system offers
program listings for all major channels, one-touch
recording, search by genre, recommendations according
to your profile and more. The GUIDE Plus+ system is a
convenient way to find out what's on right now or during
the coming week, by channel or by genre. The GUIDE
Plus+ system also allows you to automatically set your
viewing and recording selections quickly and easily.
In order to receive the correct TV listings information for
your country or region you need to set up the GUIDE
Plus+ system and ‘download’ the TV listings information.
If you haven’t already done this, please turn to
on page 28 before
proceeding.
Note that all the recording features of the Guide Plus+
system apply only to DVD and HDD recording. It is not
possible to set the system to record to VHS.

Lock / Unlock video window
When you enter the GUIDE Plus+ system, the channel
you were watching remains visible in the video window.
The date stamp above the window lets you know the
channel, date and time.
The default setting for this window is ‘locked’, as
indicated by a closed padlock icon above the video
window. When locked, the video window always shows
the channel you were previously watching as you move

If you prefer, you can unlock the video window so that as
you highlight different channels in the listings grid, the

recording quality to try and fit the recording on the disc. If the recording will not fit onto the disc even on MN1 recording quality then the Re-
covery Recording feature will automatically make the recording to the HDD instead.
• If there is very little free space left on the HDD, an Auto Replace Recording may not complete successfully.
• If the HDD is being used for playback or high-speed copying when an Auto Replace Recording is due to start, the new timer recording will
not replace the old one. However, the next time the timer recording starts, both of the older two programs will be erased.
2 • If you set the timer recording to use VPS/PDC, you must switch the recorder into standby before the timer recording is due to start for it to
work correctly. For non-VPS/PDC timer recordings there is no need to switch the recorder into standby.
• Optimized Recording will not work if VPS/PDC is on.
• Up to 8 timer recordings can be set with VPS/PDC.
• VPS/PDC cannot be set for recordings made from an external input, or when the recording mode is set to
AUTO .

what is displayed in the Grid Area. The Editor Area is
mainly used when setting up the GUIDE Plus+ system to

You can also use the Editor Area if new channels become

satellite, say, or move house.

With the number of channels increasing, the number
of digits has increased as well. While older boxes use
only 2 digits, newer boxes require up to 4. It is
possible that you selected an older code for your
brand during set-up. Please access the Setup Area,
select External Receiver and repeat the setup for your
brand. (Note: Every time you see the on-screen
question about whether the receiver has changed to
a certain channel, the GUIDE Plus+ system has sent
a different code). Try all the different codes until your
GUIDE Plus+ system can control your external
receiver correctly. If you have no success, try to
receive new codes overnight.
You can try to receive your host channel through your
new reception method. If you have problems to
receive data we recommend that you keep your
analog terrestrial or cable connection only to receive
data this way. It is important that you identify your
host channel correctly in the Editor Area.
You can change the line-up in the editor according to
your preferences. Access the Editor Area. Select the
channels that you would like to change. Change the
source and preset number according to your
preferences.
There are several possibilities:
– Connections are wrong. See on
page 13 to double check everything.
– The initial setup was completed incorrectly. Try
setting it up again (see
on page 28).
– Your cabling and setup is OK, but the recorder has
not been connected for enough time to receive the TV
listings data. Leave the recorder in standby overnight.
– For external receiver users only: The connections
and setup are OK, but the external receiver was not
tuned to the correct host channel. Check the list of
host channels (see step 5 of
on page 28) and leave the recorder
in standby and the external receiver on overnight
tuned to the correct host channel.
– You live in a country/region where the GUIDE Plus+
system is not yet available. Check the list of countries
to see if you are in a region that is supported.
If the channel to be recorded is received via the
external receiver first make sure that the external
receiver was left switched on. Next, in the Editor
Area, make sure that the channel to be recorded is
correctly set: Access the Editor Area. Check the
source and program number of the channel that you
wanted to record. Change the source and preset
numbers if incorrect.
If you are recording from the recorder’s internal tuner
(the
Tuner
setting), make sure that the program
number is the same as the preset number set on this
recorder. If they are different, go to the Editor Area
and change the program number to match the
recorder’s preset number.
The latest TV listings information is automatically
downloaded by the recorder overnight. This only
happens if the recorder is in standby; if the recorder
is left on, it will not download. When not using the
recorder, please switch it into standby.
Data downloads can take several hours. The front
panel display shows
EPG when downloading. If you
switch the recorder on while EPG is displayed, the
download will be canceled.
EPG
If the GUIDE Plus+ system is not supported in your
area, please do not set the postal code in the GUIDE
Plus+ setup (see
on page 28). When the service starts in your
area, please set the postal code again.
