select channel 4, press 4 then ENTER; for channel 34,
press 3, 4, ENTER.
• +/– buttons on the front panel
Note
• Channel presets are numbered 1–99.
• You can't change TV channels during playback or
recording, or while in recording standby.

external input signal.

Note
• When recording to the HDD, or in Video mode, or in
VR mode using the FINE/MN32 setting, only one
channel of a bilingual broadcast is recorded. In this
case, decide which language you want to record
before recording by setting the Bilingual Recording
setting (see Bilingual Recording on page 104).
Switching between TV and DVD
When the recorder is stopped or recording you can
choose whether to have the audio/video from the built-in
TV tuner (or external input) play on your TV ('DVD mode'),
or watch the channel that the TV is currently set to ('TV
mode').
During playback or when a menu is being displayed on-
screen, the sound and video is always routed to your TV
and is unaffected by the TV/DVD mode setting.
Note that the recorder must be connected to your TV
using a SCART cable to be able to use this feature.
• Press TV/DVD to switch between TV mode and
DVD mode.
