Recording Features
Record One Programme While
Watching Another
If your recorder is connected to the TV via the AV
connection, press TV/VCR. The recorder’s VCR indicator
and the TV broadcast being recorded disappear. Once
recording is in progress, all you need to do is to set the
channel controls on the TV for the station you wish to
view.
● The programme selected with the TV’s channel controls
appears on the TV screen, while the one selected with the
recorder’s PR buttons is recorded on the tape.
● If a decoder is connected to the recorder (

select a scrambled channel as well with the TV channel
controls.
