record programmes correctly. Once done, pressing the PR or PR buttons enables you
to jump to the available channels without going via any vacant channels. This channel
search can be done either automatically or manually. You should only need to perform
either of the following procedures if Auto Setup or Preset Download has failed to identify
and record available channels or you have moved to a new area.
