channel preset.
• To manually fine tune the channel, change the AFT setting to Off then adjust
the Level setting.

Next Screen Proceed to the next screen to set the input colour system for the external input
and the built-in TV tuner. Use the
CH +/– buttons to change the preset. On the
default Auto setting the recorder can generally correctly detect whether the
input signal is PAL, SECAM, 3.58 NTSC or PAL-60, but in some cases you may
have to set it manually if the picture is displayed incorrectly.
