Initializing the DVD Recorder
When you first connect power to the DVD Recorder, it will automatically display an initial setup
screen (virgin mode), and won't operate normally until it is setup. This startup behavior only ever
needs to take place once, as the DVD Recorder permanently remembers its settings once set. You
can use the system menus to alter these settings at any time in the future.
When in virgin mode, the DVD Recorder requires you to select the On-Screen Display (OSD)
language, set the built-in clock, and let it search for and store any TV channels it finds on the
antenna connection.
IMPORTANT
1 BEFORE you plug the power cord into the DVD Recorder or turn the power point on, you
should connect the display device (TV or projector) and turn that on so that you will be able to
view the OSD menu of the DVD Recorder when it first starts. See "Connecting the DVD
Recorder" on page 3.
2 If you intend to record TV programs onto DVDs using the DVD Recorder, you will also need
to connect the TV antenna cable to the DVD Recorder BEFORE proceeding any further. The
DVD Recorder initial startup will attempt to search for and store all TV channels it finds on the
antenna connection. You can sort and edit this list using the OSD 'Setup' menu commands at
any later time that suits you. See "Connecting to a display device (TV or projector)" on page 3.
3 You will need to setup the remote control for use before you can make any initialization
selections. See "Remote control setup" on page 12.
4 See "Initial startup (virgin mode)" on page 14 for the initial setup instructions.
You can always manually readjust these initialization settings at any time in the future.
