About EPG download
• EPG data can only be received when the recorder is
in standby. (When not using the recorder, therefore,
please switch it into standby.) If you're using an
external receiver, leave this on when EPG data is
downloading.
• If you cannot receive any of the host channels (see
the above table) then you won't be able to use the
GUIDE Plus+ system. In this case do not set the
postal code (or set Country to Other) in the GUIDE
Plus+ setup screen. (When GUIDE Plus+ service
starts in your area, set the postal code again.)
If digital broadcasts start in your area, please set the
EPG Type Select setting in the Initial Setup menu to
Digital EPG.
• Even if you can't use the EPG functions where you
live, you can still set ShowView timer recordings and
manual recordings — see Setting a manual recording
on page 70.
• The front panel display shows EPG when receiving
data. If you power on the recorder during an EPG
download, the download is canceled.
• EPG data may be received several times a day. All
updates are automatic.
• When downloading EPG data, the recorder may
sound as though it is on. This is normal.

the screen now shows a list of channels. Those that
are turned ON are displayed in the grid; those that

move down the list and turn channels ON or OFF as
necessary.
• For any channel that you turn ON, the GUIDE Plus+
system will need to know how it is received (the
source) and on which program number. The source
may be the built-in tuner of this recorder, or an
external receiver. The program number is the number
on which the channel can be found on its receiving
device/source. The entry in the Editor screen must
match this number for correct recording of that
channel.
• The above is especially important for the 'host
channel'. Please make sure that the host channel is
always switched ON.
