The TV power lamp begins flashing at three
minutes before the timer start time. If you are
watching TV at the time, a message appears
on the screen to inform you the timer is about
to start.
If the TV is in Standby, the power lamp
lights orange while timer recording is in
progress.
• When performing timer recording with a
T-V LINK compatible recording device,
test the timer recording before you record
the programme. There are some T-V
LINK compatible recording device that
will not correctly receive the Direct Rec
command from the TV.
In this case, follow the instructions of
“When recording on a T-V LINK
incompatible VCR:”.
While the timer is in operation:
• You can turn the TV on or off (Standby).
WARNING: Do not turn off the main
power.
• You can watch Analogue terrestrial
broadcasting channels or the pictures via

information that appears on the screen,
such as when making changes to the
Digital terrestrial broadcasting (DVB-T)
channel picture, will be superimposed
