If your TV can detect the TV channel name from the
TV channel broadcast signal, the TV channel name
is assigned to the programme number (PR) to which
the TV channel has been set.
However, which TV channels are set to which
programme numbers (PR) will depend on the area in

than one transmitter, for example different ITV
regions. In this case each TV channel could be set
twice. If this happens, the first set of channels will
have the stronger signal. If you want to delete the
second set of channels, you will have to do it
manually (see page 28).

You can easily record to VCR the images that you are
watching on the TV.
For details, read the manual for your VCR.
Use your VCR controls. “VCR IS RECORDING”is displayed.
In the following situations, the VCR will stop recording if
the TV is turned off, if the TV channel or input is changed,
or if the menu is displayed on the TV:
•when recording images from an external device connected
to the TV (for example a camcorder)
•when recording a TV channel after it has been unscrambled
on a decoder
•when recording a TV channel by using the TV’s output
because the VCR’s own tuner cannot properly receive that
channel
•You cannot carry out Direct Rec using your TV’s control.
•Generally, the VCR cannot record a TV channel that it
cannot receive properly on its own tuner, even if you can
view that TV channel on the TV. However, some VCRs
can record a TV channel by using the TV’s output if that
channel can be viewed on the TV. For details, see your
