Troubleshooting guide
If you are having trouble displaying the television
program list, please check the following.
– This recorder downloads the TV Guide On
Screen data several times a day when the
recorder is turned off. Turn off the recorder
when you are not using it (for example, at night).
It may take up to 24 hours for your recorder to
start receiving program listings.
– When the recorder is connected to a cable box,
the cable box must be turned on, the set top box
controller must be connected, and “Set Top Box
Control” in the Settings setup must be set to
“On” (page 86) to download the TV Guide On
Screen data.
– Your area of residence and zip code must be set
correctly (page 85).
– The time must be set correctly. If the time is not
set, set it manually (page 86).
– The television program list is blank when TV
Guide On Screen data is being downloaded or a
satellite or terrestrial digital tuner is in use.
You may be asked to select a channel lineup the
first time you press
[TV GUIDE] . Select one of the
available channel lineups. If the channel number
in the program listing does not match the
broadcast station, see “To match the channel
number with the broadcast station” (page 36).
Notes
• Only English is displayed in the TV Guide On Screen
system.
• The TV Guide On Screen system is not compatible
with satellite and terrestrial digital broadcasts.
• Your cable box’s channel may suddenly change even if
the recorder is turned off. This is because the set top
box control has changed the channel to receive the TV
Guide On Screen data.
