Recording Programmes
1 Press the button on the remote control to display the EPG on the TV screen. 2 Press the B or b buttons to highlight the 'programme' column then press the V or v button to select your desired programme. 3 Press the OK button. If the programme is currently being broadcast, it will be displayed on your TV. If not, the 'TIMER' menu will be displayed on the TV screen. 4 At the bottom of the timer page you can see the symbols (back to EPG), (to record a programme) or (to set the programme to switch on automatically). 5 Press the B or b buttons to select one of these symbols then press the OK button to confirm your selection. The EPG appears on screen with the relevant icon appearing next to the programme you selected in step 2. 6 If you wish to cancel a recording, select the relevant programme and press the OK button. A menu is displayed on screen requesting you to select 'Return' if you wish to continue to record the programme or 'Delete' if you wish to cancel the recording request. 7 After making your selection, press the OK button to confirm. The record icon disappears from the EPG if 'Delete' was selected in step 6. 8 If you have finished viewing programmes on your TV, press the / button before the timer recording starts to leave your TV in standby mode for the timer settings to be activated. If, however, you wish to continue watching other programmes after setting the timer, you can do so by changing programmes in the normal way. If you are watching another programme when the timer is due to start, a display will appear on screen advising you that, if you change channels, you automatically cancel the recording. 9 If you do not wish to cancel or view the recording, press the / button whilst one of the displays are still on screen to leave your TV in standby mode. The standby indicator on the front of the TV will flash to show that the timer record operation is active. If, however, you choose to change programmes, you automatically cancel the recording. Notes: If your video recorder (VCR) is not Smartlinkcompatible, you will need to set your VCR to switch on and off automatically after setting the timer on the EPG. If you want to change channel once a digital programme has started recording, select the channel by using the remote control buttons as normal. The message 'STOP RECORDING' will be displayed on screen. Either do nothing to allow the recording to continue or select the required channel once more while the message is still displayed on screen. The recording will then be cancelled.
