About EPG download

• EPG data can only be received when the

recorder is in standby. (When not using
the recorder, therefore, please switch it
into standby.) If you’re using an external
receiver, leave this on when EPG data is
downloading.

• If you cannot receive any of the host

channels (see the above table) then you
won’t be able to use the GUIDE Plus+
system. In this case do not set the postal
code (or set Country to

Other

) in the

GUIDE Plus+ setup screen. (When
GUIDE Plus+ service starts in your area,
set the postal code again.)

If digital broadcasts start in your area,
please set the

EPG Type Select

setting in

the Initial Setup menu to

Digital EPG

.

• Even if you can’t use the EPG functions

where you live, you can still set VIDEO
Plus+ timer recordings and manual
recordings — see

on page 66.

EPG

when

receiving data. If you power on the
recorder during an EPG download, the
download is canceled.

• EPG data may be received several times

a day. All updates are automatic.
