Timer Recording

What is FREEVIEW

FREEVIEW is the function that enables timer recordings to be controlled by the signal sent

from the broadcaster. “Guide Link” is available.

“Guide Link” – If you set a timer recording from the TV Guide, the recording’s start and stop

times can be controlled by the broadcaster, e.g. delayed start.

This is indicated by “Guide Link” in the Timer Recording screen in step 2 (> below).

If you set a timer recording from the TV Guide, the recording’s start and stop times are

controlled by the signal sent from the broadcaster. If the signal is not sent correctly,

the recording may lack the beginning or the ending part of the programmes.

In order to make the timer recording work successfully, we recommend you set the

start time earlier and the end time later by some minutes, up to a maximum of 10

minutes for Guide Link to function.

e.g. When you set the timer recording for a programme that will start at 10:00 and end

at 11:00, set “9:58” and “11:05” in step 3 (> below).
