memory backup keeps your selections (if the lithium battery is
not exhausted).

System Setup
INFORMATION
The G- CODE timer programming system eliminates the need to
input channel, date, start and stop time data when setting the
timer record function. Simply key in the G-
CODE number for the
TV programme you wish to record (found in most TV listings) and
the recorder's timer is automatically programmed.
You have to set “GUIDE PROG” numbers, which are assigned to
each station for purposes of G-
CODE timer programming, for all
the stations stored in your recorder’s memory to get proper results.
Before G- CODE setup you must have performed the procedures of
Tuner Set and Clock Set.
IMPORTANT
Perform the following procedure after Auto Set Up and/or the
channel setting steps.
After setting the Guide Program Numbers, channel positions may
be incorrect if you stored or skipped channels. In this case, re-
perform Guide Program Number setting.
