After completing these steps the recorder will try and
communicate with your external receiver and change the
channel via the G-LINK cable. If the channel was
successfully changed, select
Yes
to confirm.
If the channel did not change, select
No

Plus+ system will try other codes assigned to your
external receiver. If none of the codes changes the
channel successfully, tune your external receiver to the
host channel for your country (refer to step
5
below) and
leave it on overnight. The recorder needs to be in standby.
It will wake up automatically and download new codes
from the host channel. The next day, try this setup
process again:

menu.
• Press

use

select Setup.
• Continue setting up from the start of this step again.
If your external receiver still doesn’t respond to the G-
LINK controller, please call customer support and report
the brand and model of your external receiver.

5 Identify the host channel for your country.
The TV listings information available in GUIDE Plus+ is
distributed throughout Europe by selected broadcasters
called
host channels
. It is important that the host
channel for your country is correctly identified in order to
receive listings information (EPG download).

If you are not using an external receiver, this recorder
will automatically scan all channels for the host channel:
• Leave the recorder in standby overnight (do
not
leave
it switched on).
B
If you are using an external receiver, you need to
identify the host channel from the table below:
• Tune your external receiver to the appropriate host
channel and leave the receiver on and the recorder in
standby overnight.

If you use both an external receiver and this recorder
as sources, follow the instructions above for setting up
without an external receiver. Only if this is unsuccessful
try the external receiver method.
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
downloadng.
• 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 in the GUIDE Plus+ setup screen. (When
GUIDE Plus+ service starts in your area, set the
postal code again.)
• Even if you can’t use the EPG functions where you
live, you can still set VIDEO Plus+ timer recordings
and manual recordings — see page 47.
• The front panel display shows
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.
• When downloading EPG data, the recorder may
sound as though it is on. This is normal.
