Pausing a TV Broadcast
(TV Pause/Pause Live TV)
You can pause a current TV broadcast, and

or visitor while watching TV.
When connecting the recorder to your TV
using the SCART jack, do the followings.
– set “SMARTLINK” to “This Recorder
Only” in the “Options” setup (page 150).
– set “TV Pause” to “TV’s Tuner” in the
“Options 2” setup (page 150).
– preset programme positions by
downloading from your TV using
“Download from TV” of “Auto Channel
Setting” in the “Analog Tuner” setup
(page 133).
If you do not make the SCART connection,
set “TV Pause” to “Recorder’s Tuner” in the
“Options 2” setup (page 150).
