DIRECT RECORD

With DIRECT RECORD, you can record the right TV channel
in seconds even if your DVD/ VCR is switched off. If the
recording is started manually, the DVD/ VCR uses the current
TV channel set on the TV.You will find more information on
how to switch "DIRECT RECORD" on or off in the next
section. Make sure that your DVD/ VCR socket (AV1/TV) and
the TV are connected by a scart cable.

the recording from.

How does DIRECT RECORD work?
The DVD/ VCR compares the TV channel selected on the TV with
its stored TV channels via the scart cable. If the same TV channel
is found, it switches the DVD/ VCR to the corresponding pro-
gramme number and starts recording. Please do not change the
TV channel on the TV during the search so as not to affect the
process.
