If the recording is started manually, the video recorder uses the current TV channel set on the TV. You will find more information on how to switch 'DIRECT RECORD' on or off in the next section. Make sure that your video recorder socket (AV1/TV) and the TV are connected by a scart cable.

How does DIRECT RECORD work?
The video recorder compares the TV channel selected on the TV with its stored TV channels via the scart cable. If the same TV channel is found, it switches the video recorder to the corresponding programme number and starts recording. Please do not change the TV channel on the TV during the search so as not to affect the process.
