Your video recorder as an extension of your TV set
You can also use your video recorder as a TV receiver (tun­
er). This is handy if your TV set does not have remote con­
trol or if it has fewer channel buttons than the number of
channels it could actually receive.
This is how you go about it;
O
Switch on the TV set. Select the programme number re­
served for video playback.
O
Press button LLT.QNEBJJ on the remote control.
The display will show, e.g.:

(remote control) to select the TV channel that you want
