7. SPECIAL FEATURES ON YOUR VIDEO RECORDER
Apart from the functions that have already been
described, your set has other special functions and
extras designed to make the use of your set as
convenient as possible.
In this chapter you will find out more about them.
Tuner mode.
Your video recorder as an extension
of your TV set
You can also use your video recorder as a
TV receiver (tuner). This is handy if your TV set does
not have remote control or if it has fewer storage
places for TV channels than the number of TV
channels it could actually receive.
This is how you go about it:
Q Switch on the TV set. Select the programme
number you have earmarked for playback on the
video recorder.
Q With the videorecorder switched off, press the
I stopb | button on the remote control several
seconds until 'TUNER' and a programme number
will appear in the display.

on the TV screen.
With the video recorder swiched off, hold the
I INSTALL | button until e.g.: 'ENGLISH' appears
in the dis p l a y.

You can use the I ± I button to select from three
possibilities.

time an operating mode is selected and then
disappears.
'OSD OFF': OSD is switched off.
'OSD ON': OSD remains on con tinuously.

View Mode
When you connect an o ther appliance to the
12 external/decoderTI socket you will be able to use
the following additional functions. The appliance can
be a second video recorder, a decoder, a satellite
receiver or a CD video player.
• Thus, if the second appliance transmits a control
signal, for example, during playback, the
(switched on) video recorder will recognize it and
automatically switch to 'View Mode'.
You can switch View Mode on and off with the
I MONITOR | button.
• Even when the video recorder is switched off, the
scart cable connection from the TV set to the
second appliance is still operational.
Note:
* If you have selected the programme number
'EY or 'E2', the video recorder cannot switch
over to View Mode. This also applies to
programme numbers for which the decoder
function has been activated.
* The function will respond only if your TV set
also has this switch-over function and you are
using a scart cable to connect your video re¬
corder to the TV set. •
