• Higher recording mode means higher picture quality and lower recording mode means longer recording time.
• Picture quality of the recorded content changes distinctively between the recording modes above and below the bold lines

in the above chart. The position of the bold lines differs among HDD, DVD-RW (VR Mode) and DVD-RW (Video Mode).

• With MN22-32, VBR (Variable Bit Rate) recording has a big impression, so the actual recording time will be longer.

In this new era of ever-increasing number of
channels, the GUIDE Plus+ system offers
television viewers a convenient way to find
out what’s on right now or in the next week, by
channel or by genre. The GUIDE Plus+
system also allows viewers to automatically
set their viewing and recording selections
quickly and easily. The TV listings information
displayed in the GUIDE Plus+ system is
obtained directly from sources in the broad-
casting industry. This information is received
and processed by Gemstar-TV Guide and
“broadcasted” via so called “Host Channels”
directly to your Recorder equipped with the
GUIDE Plus+ system.

In order to receive the correct TV listings
information for your country / region you need
to “setup” your GUIDE Plus+ system and
“download” TV listings information. The initial
download may take up to 24 hours. Once you
have received the first download of TV listings
data, all future updates are automatic.

The GUIDE Plus+

®

 system is an interactive

on-screen television programming guide
integrated into the Recorder. The system is
available at no monthly charge and offers
programme listings for all major channels
received in your home, one-touch recording,
search by genre, recommendations accord-
ing to your profile and more.

You can start the GUIDE Plus+ system by
pressing GUIDE at anytime except during
playback and editing.

Each part of the display screen (except some setup screens)
functions as follows:

Grid:

Displays TV listings information by channel
and time, seven days in advance.

Menu Bar:

Accesses to the different Areas of the GUIDE
Plus+ system.

Information Box:

Displays short programme descriptions or
help menus.

Action Bar:

The four coloured Action buttons change
functionality depending on the Area.

Video Window:

You can continue to watch the current
programme while consulting the GUIDE Plus+
system.

Information Panels: Display programme promotions or instruc-

tions on the GUIDE Plus+ system.

Operating the power source while TV
listings data is being downloaded
• Even when the power is off, the internal

power source is on during download of TV
listings data. When you want to use the
Recorder while TV listings data is being
downloaded, press OPERATE and the
STANDBY indicator of the Recorder will be
lit red. (It may take 1-2 minutes for this
process.) After the STANDBY indicator is lit
red, press OPERATE once more. (The
download of TV listings data will be
suspended.)

• When the TV listings data is downloading,

the Front Panel Display appears as follows:

• In areas where Host Channels cannot be

received or data from the Host Channels do
not download, some features of the GUIDE
Plus+ system such as TV listings data and
One-Button Recording are not available. If
you are located in such an area, other
features such as Manual Recording (Page
53) are available. For the table of Host
Channels, see page 47.

• If certain channels are missing, or if

you see channels that you don’t
receive, press '

| a few times to

display the “Editor” screen. Then
press '

'

'

'

' / "

"

"

"

"  to select a channel to

edit, and turn “ON” or “OFF” the
channels according to what you
receive in your home.

• Make sure that the setting for your Host

Channel is always “On”, and the correct
source (the internal tuner of the Recorder
or an external tuner such as CATV top box
or Terrestrial Digital tuner) and programme
number are displayed on the “Editor”
screen (Page 56). Otherwise you will not be
able to receive data.

• This will allow you to control the tuner

of the receiver through the GUIDE
Plus+ system.

• The G-LINK transmitter must be connected

and placed in front of your external receiver
so that its infrared detector can receive a
clear signal. To find the infrared detector in
your receiver, refer to the manufacturer or
operation manual of your external receiver.
Alternatively you can use the receivers
remote control and move it slowly from left
to right in front of the receiver while
pressing any channel button. If you can
see a red blinking light or the receiver
switched to the respective channel you
have located the infrared detector. Or you
use a flash light and look behind the glass
screen of the box. The infrared detector
looks like a small red light bulb.
For more details, refer to the manufacturer
or operation manual of your external
receiver.

• Complete the connection of your equip-

ment (the Recorder, TV, aerial, external
tuner if applicable). See page 23 for basic
connection. Please note that if you use an
external receiver (such as Satellite tuner),
you have to connect the plug of G-LINK
cable to the back of the Recorder and
place the other end in front of the tuner.
This will allow you to control the tuner of the
receiver through the GUIDE Plus+ system.

• Complete the setup of the Recorder. It is

important that “AUTO INSTALLATION” has
been done to install all available channels.

Press ' / "  to select “Postal
Code”. Press SET/ENTER, then
press ' / " / \ / | to enter your
postal code. Leave the “External
Receiver” fields as is (to “None”).
Then press GUIDE to exit the
setup menu.

• The GUIDE Plus+ system is automati-

cally “scanning” all your channels to
identify the correct host channel
during a pre-defined timeslot.
Depending on your region this may
take up to 24 hours, because in some
areas data is only available during
certain timeslots.

• All other actions like “recording” or

“watching” have priority over the
“scanning (automatic receiving of
data)”. Therefore it is important to
leave the Recorder in standby (not
“ON”).

• All future downloads will happen

automatically.
