Presetting TV programmes using the
EPG
Using the EPG, you can easily preset digital TV programmes
for watching (auto channel select) and recording later.
You must also adjust your recording equipment settings to
record the programme. Refer to the operation manual
provided with your recording equipment.
Using auto channel select and standby record-
ing
With the power to the system left on, this function automati-
cally selects a preset TV programme when its on-air time
comes. That way you will not miss the start of an important TV
programme because you were enjoying another TV
programme.
Even if the system is in standby mode when the preset TV
programme’s on-air time comes, the Media Receiver wakes
up and outputs AV signals for recording.
1 Press EPG.
• The EPG screen appears.

Select a programme to be preset ( / , / then
ENTER).
• Select a programme not yet started.
• A setup menu appears.

With the system switched on, a channel switch alarm
message appears approximately 60 seconds before
execution and the channel is switched a short time
before the start of the programme.
• Auto channel select is not executed when the system is in
the standby mode.
• Even in the standby mode, preset programmes can be
recorded as only the Media Receiver alone wakes up and
outputs AV signals when the preset time comes.
• Finish presetting operations three minutes before the start
of the programme.
• For priorities about overlapped presettings, see “Priority
rules for overlapped presettings” on page 13.

lights up in orange when a programme is preset for
recording/watching.

imposed by the CA module.
