Removing Interference
In some cases, interference (lines or patterning) or a very
poor picture may appear on the TV when the DVD Recorder is
connected. If this happens, follow the steps below to change
the video playback channel (RF output channel) to remove the
interference.
1 Switch [DVD, TV] (15) to “DVD”.
2 Press [FUNCTIONS] (11) for more than 5 seconds.
The RF output channel number is displayed on the
unit display.
3 Press the numeric buttons (4) , [ 3 , 4 ] (10) or
[ W , X , CH] (18) to select a channel number, which
differs by 2 or 3 from the present channel number.
(For example, if the original channel number was
28, enter 31.)
≥ Set the RF output channel of the DVD Recorder to [ ss ]
(RF OFF) when the DVD Recorder is connected to the TV via
the 21-pin Scart cable.
Press the numeric (0) button
(4) or [ W , X , CH] (18) to
display [ ss ]. Skip the step 4, if using a 21-pin Scart cable.

repeat steps 2 and 3 above until you can see the
Test pattern clearly.

The clear picture
For the United Kingdom:
This unit is not designed to control (switch on or change channel)
your satellite receiver or Cable TV box, however, it can be taught
to recognise Video Plus+ Codes for Satellite stations. The Satellite
receiver or Cable TV box must be switched on and the correct
station selected. Some receivers have their own timer facility for
this purpose. Please refer to your Satellite Receiver/Cable TV box
instructions for use of such timer facilities.
For your unit to recognise the Video Plus+ Codes for each satellite
station, you must teach your unit which channel or AV input to record
from for the first time. Otherwise when setting a VIDEO Plus+ recording,
the [
ss ] symbol will appear in the channel position indicating that the
unit does not know which channel position to set. Once you have set the
channel/AV input once the unit will remember it whenever you use a
Video Plus+ Code for the station again.
Preparation
≥ Turn on the television.
≥ Switch [DVD, TV] (15) to “TV”.
1 Turn on the TV and the unit. Select video playback
channel on the TV.
2 Press [VIDEO Plus+] (2) .
3 Enter a Video Plus+ Code from a Satellite TV Guide
for a satellite channel, e.g. Sky 1 using the numeric
buttons
(4) . If you make a mistake, use [ 2 ] (10) to
go back.
4 Press [ENTER] (10) . [ ss ] will appear instead of a
channel number/AV input.
5 Use [ 3 , 4 , 2 , 1 ] (10) to select the channel or AV input
that is to be used for recording from the satellite channel.
6 Press [ENTER] (10) to memorise the setting. The
unit will now automatically set the programme
position or AV input correctly when a VIDEO Plus+
recording is set for this satellite station in the future.
7 Use [ 3 ] (10) to select the programme that you have
just set. Now press [CANCEL] (5) to delete it from
the timer recording list. It is no longer needed.
8 Repeat steps 2 s 7 above until you have set and
deleted dummy timer recordings for each of the
satellite stations that you will make VIDEO Plus+
recordings from.
9 Press [RETURN] (23) when you have finished.
