Using the Electronic Programme Guide (EPG)(for DTV only) 11
Presetting TV programmes using the
EPG
Using the EPG, you can easily preset digital TV programmes for
watching (auto channel select) and recording later.
You must also adjust your recording equipment settings to
record the programme. Refer to the operation manual provided
with your recording equipment.
Using auto channel select and standby
recording
With the power to the system left on, this function
automatically selects a preset TV programme when its on-air
time comes. That way you will not miss the start of an
important TV programme because you were enjoying another
TV programme.
Even if the system is in the standby mode when the preset TV
programme’s on-air time comes, the Media Receiver wakes up
and outputs AV signals for recording.

recorded as only the Media Receiver alone wakes up and
outputs AV signals when the preset time comes.

the programme.

rules for overlapped presettings” on page 51.

up in orange when a programme is preset for recording/
watching.

imposed by the CA module.
