Using the Electronic Programme Guide (EPG)(for DTV only)

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.

• The EPG screen appears.

2 Select a programme to be preset ( / , / then ENTER).

• Select a programme not yet started.

• A setup menu appears.

• Select a programme currently on-air (then ENTER): The

EPG screen closes and a channel is tuned in.

• Select a programme currently on-air (then GREEN): The

programme can be set for recording/watching the next

time (or week) it is shown.

• Select a programme not yet started (then ENTER or

ENTER).

With the system switched on, a channel switch alarm message

appears approximately 60 seconds before execution and the

channel is switched a short time before the start of the

programme.

NOTE

• Auto channel select is not executed when the system is in

the standby mode.

• Even in the standby mode, preset programmes can be

recorded as only the Media Receiver alone wakes up and

outputs AV signals when the preset time comes.

• Finish presetting operations three minutes before the start of

the programme.

• For priorities about overlapped presettings, see “Priority

rules for overlapped presettings” on page 51.

• The TIMER indicator on the front of the Media Receiver lights

up in orange when a programme is preset for recording/

watching.

• Recording may fail because of watching restrictions

imposed by the CA module.
