Recording Controls
Timer Programming from Menu
The Timer programming menu allows you to choose programmes that you wish to record. At the correct time, the DVB
system will switch on and tune to the correct station (even if the TV is in Standby mode). If the recording equipment is
compatible with Q-Link or similar technologies (p. 40) and connected to the TV's AV2 terminal using a SCART cable
(p. 44), you do not need to programme the device – the DVB system will control the recording process.
TV Guide may also be used to set timer programmes. (p. 14)
