programme starts earlier or later than advertised.

If you wish to record from a satellite receiver, select under ‘PR’ the satellite programme or AV
(depending whether the video is connected with the antenna cable or the scart-cable). Leave the

• The video will warn you if you have set the timer to start recording a second programme before the
first recording has finished.
• To stop the recording after it has already started, press and hold the STOP button for about
