the programme. Refer to the operation manual provided with your
recording equipment.
Using auto channel select and standby recording

selects a preset TV programme when its on-air time comes. That

programme’s on-air time comes, the Media Receiver wakes up and
outputs AV signals for recording.

overlapped presettings on page 56.
