ABSTRACT:
The programming of a broadcast receiver is selected from the display and the mapping of the required numbers is fully automatic. The user enters a code and the VCR decodes the entered code to determine the corresponding channel. The VCR then checks to determine if this channel is mapped. If not, the VCR prompts the user to identify which program one wishes to record. A picture on the TV, in a mixed mode, can be used for this, i.e., the TV program selected is shown on the background behind the text. The user uses keys on the remote control to scroll through the list of channels to find the program one wants to record. Once determined, the VCR will automatically map the correct three digit numbers for the program selected. In this way, the user need not know what the selection number represents.
