Other settings you can make
After setting up using the Setup Navigator, you should be ready to start enjoying your DVD recorder. It�s possible, however, that you may want to make a couple of additional settings, depending on how the recorder is set up for terrestrial TV broadcasts. � Manual channel setting � This setting lets you skip channels where there is no station, as well as manually tune to stations. See Manual CH Setup on page 47. � Set Guide Preset � This setting lets you assign guide channels to ensure that the G-Code programming system works correctly. See Set Guide Preset on page 48.
