Apart from the functions that have already been described, your
video recorder has other special functions and extras designed
to make operating the video recorder as convenient as possible.

Your video recorder as an extension of your TV set

You may also use your video recorder for the reception of TV
channels (Tuner). This Is practical if your TV set has no remote
control or if It has less programme number locations than the
number of the TV channels actually received.
And this is how to go about it:

reserved for the video recorder playback.

don't want to watch TV any more.

TUNER' (Tuner-mode) is indicated by the display.

pressing button (1).

your video recorder as all the button functions are blocked.
If a button Is pressed then MGNOR* flashes for awhile on the
display.

child lock Is active and cannot be interrupted.

the display shows the symbol ES. The child lock is now
switched on.
