Troubleshooting guide
If you are having trouble displaying the
television programme list, please check the
following:
• Your country/region must be set correctly
(page 23).
• The clock must be set correctly. If the clock
is not set, set it manually (page 109).
• This recorder downloads the GUIDE Plus+
data several times a day when the recorder
is turned off (standby mode). Turn off the
recorder when you are not using it (for
www
example, at night). After initial setup
(page 23), it may take up to 24 hours for
your recorder to start receiving programme
listings. It may take up to one day to receive
all seven days of TV programme listings.

z Hint
By reformatting, you can change the recording
format on DVD-RWs, or record again on DVD-
RWs that have been finalised.
• Check the following if the programme
guide data has not been received after
waiting for a day:
– "Easy Setup" (page 23) is completed.
– The host channel is not disabled (see
"Disabling programme positions" on
page 50).
– The timer is not set.
If the programme guide data still cannot be
received after checking the above, search
for the host channel at the following
website and set the host channel manually
(page 49):
www.europe.guideplus.com
• If the host channel has changed or moved,
the programme guide data cannot be
received. In this case, follow the steps in
"Searching for the GUIDE Plus+ host
channel" (page 48) to update the host
channel setting.
• If the set top box receiver is connected to
the recorder using a SCART cord only, do
the following:
– Turn on your set top box receiver.
– Connect the set top box controller.
– Follow the steps in "Changing the GUIDE
Plus+ host channel manually" (page 49)
to set the host channel manually. Be sure
to set your set top box receiver (tuner) as
the source.
b
Notes
• Your set top box receiver's programme position
may suddenly change even if the recorder is
turned off. This is because the set top box
controller has changed the programme position to
receive the GUIDE Plus+ data.
• When you reset the recorder (page 136) the
following GUIDE Plus+ system settings are reset:
– Country/region setting in "Easy Setup"
– "Country" of "Setup" - "Basic Setup" in the
Menu Bar
– "Postal Code" of "Setup" - "Basic Setup" in the
Menu Bar
Note that the GUIDE Plus+ system is also reset
when you make changes to the host channel
settings.
• The GUIDE Plus+ system cannot be used when
"Input Line System" is set to "NTSC" in the
"Basic" setup (page 110). x ao

GUIDE Plus+

Introduction to the
GUIDE Plus+ System
®
The GUIDE Plus+ system is a free
interactive programme guide. It displays up
to seven days of programme listings,
including programme titles, promotions, and
broadcast information. GUIDE Plus+ data for
the television programme listings are carried
by your local broadcast host channel and are
received through your aerial, set top box
receiver, or direct cable connection from the
wall.
Visit www.europe.guideplus.com for a list of
all European host channels.
These are just a few of the ways to use the
GUIDE Plus+ system.
– Search for programmes by listing them
according to category (such as Movies or
Sport) or by using the Keyword Search
function (page 46).
– Once you have found the programme you
are looking for, use the GUIDE Plus+
system to set the timer for recording
(page 53).
– You can set the system to display your
favourite programmes according to
conditions that you set, such as category
and keyword (page 47).
For more information, see "Watching TV
Using the GUIDE Plus+ System" (page 45).
