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 Setting a manual
recording on page 54.
• 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.
