I switched on the TV to Ch3 which I use for my recorder.
I then held down the start button on the recorder remote as adviced.
Nothing happened.
I then swiched off the TV and again held down the start button on the recorder remote.
Low and behold the recorder sprang into action.
I then switched the TV back on and pressed the Titel list and then the Guide.
They both worked.
Go on try it
