Troubleshooting guide

If you are having trouble displaying the
television programme list, please check the
following:
• Your postal code must be set correctly
(page 24).
• The clock must be set correctly. If the clock
is not set, set it manually (page 97).
• 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
example, at night). After initial setup
(page 24), 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.
• Check the following if the programme
guide data has not been received after
waiting for a day:
– "Easy Setup" (page 24) is finished.
– The host channel is not disabled (see
"Disabling programme positions" on
page 51).
– 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 50):
www.europe.guideplus.com
• If you made connection "B: Set top box
receiver with a SCART output only"
(page 15) and did not connect an aerial
cable from your set top box receiver to the
recorder, 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" (page 50). Be sure to
set your set top box receiver (tuner) as the
source.
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 set "Factory Setup" to "All," the
recorder is initialized. When you change the
following settings, the GUIDE Plus+ system is
reset:
– Country/region setting in "Easy Setup"
– "Country" of "Setup" - "Basic Setup" in the
Menu Bar
– Postal code setting in "Easy Setup"
– "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 or if you set "Factory Setup" to "Basic."
