The VCR needs to find, identify and memorise all available stations in your area in order to
record programmes correctly. Once done, pressing the PR + or - 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 has failed to identify and record available channels or
you have moved to a new area.
