TV Guide Page
Some broadcast systems ensure a Teletext
service* in which the complete programmes and
their data (title, date, channel, recording start time,
etc.) are stored day by day. A TV guide page
corresponds to each day of the week. When
recording a programme, the recorder
automatically takes the programme name from the
Teletext pages and stores it as the title name. The
TV guide page numbers depend entirely on the
broadcast itself and may be subject to change. If
so, you may have to set those TV guide page
numbers manually in the TV Guide Page menu.
* Not available in some areas.

Select "TV Guide Page" in "Settings," and
press , or ENTER.

want to set or change the TV guide page by

Notes
• In step 4 above, enter "000" if you do not want to use
the TV guide page number for automatic labelling. The
recorder will instead store a default title name
(programme position, start time - stop time).
• Refer to the Teletext information on your TV screen to
obtain the TV guide page number with programme
titles and their start times.
• If the Teletext TV guide has a page which always
shows the programmes for the current day, this page
should be input for all days.
• If you start recording more than three minutes before
the programme is scheduled to start, the correct label
information may not be transferred.
• Note that this function may not work correctly with
4
programmes broadcast from some stations.
• If the broadcast system updates the Teletext
information at the moment recording starts, the title
label may not correspond to the recorded programme.
In this case, you may have to manually enter the correct
title (page 36).
