Tuning the Recorder to TV Stations

Television stations broadcast programmes on different fre-
quencies/channels.
Your recorder has a built-in receiver so it can receive and record
television programmes independently of the television.
First, you must tune your recorder to the channels used by
the different TV stations.
There are 60 programme positions available for the TV sta-
tions.
There are two possible methods of doing this:

1. With the automatic tuning system (ATS euro plus).

The recorder searches for, sorts and stores all channel
numbers/special channel numbers of the TV stations
which can be received in your area.
This procedure depends on the language and country you
selected, as well as the reception quality of the TV stations.
If you are not satisfied with the order in which the TV sta-
tions are alocated, the order can be changed subsequently.
2. By searching manually, if, for example, there are new TV
stations, or if the recorder cannot find a TV station with the
automatic tuning system.
An example of using the ATS euro plus tuning
system
Assume that you are using your recorder in the part of
Switzerland where German is spoken.
When carrying out the adjustments described on the fol-
lowing pages, you enter "Deutsch" as the language and "CH"
as the country (for Switzerland).
This means that the recorder will store the TV stations in
Switzerland that broadcast in German on the first programme
positions.
Settings for the ShowView system
In order to take full advantage of the ShowView system when
you programme recordings, you must assign a specific
ShowView code to each programme position.
This is assigned on pages 14 through 19.
The ShowView codes can be found in the en-
closed overview, or taken from the television programme
guide you use which offers the ShowView service.
In case of television stations which broadcast the VPS signal,
the ShowView codes are automatically stored by the recor-
der.
Note on record programming with the Teletext
pages of the TV stations
In the record programming mode, with the help of Text pro-
gramming, you no longer need TV programme guides for the
required data (for example, programme, date, start and stop
times) as you can find the data in the programme summaries
offered by certain TV stations on Teletext pages.
The numbers of the Teletext pages on which these pro-
gramme summaries can be found may differ from station to
station.
The following are examples of TV Guide Teletext pages:
– BBC 1 Today Page 601; Tomorrow Page 613;
– BBC 2 Today Page 602; Tommorrow Page 614;
– ITV Today Page 213; Tommorrow Page 217;
– CH 4 Today Page 601; Tommorrow Page 415;
Now you can decide from which page of the summary you
wish to programme most of your recordings.
Enter the required number of the Teletext page into the
"TV Station Table".
The example on the following pages will show you how to do
this.
When you programme a recording, these Teletext pages are
called up automatically.
