How does Direct Record work?
The video recorder compares the TV channel selected
on the TV set with its stored TV channels via the scart
cable. If the same TV channel is found, it switches the
video recorder to the corresponding programme num-
ber and starts recording. Please do not change the TV
channel on the TV set during the search so as not to
affect the process.
