Entering Text with Remote Control

Generally, entering text is carried out the same way as with most cell 
phones.

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9: 

Enter a character to the position pointed 

by the cursor.
First press: enter the first character from a set of characters related 
to  this button. Each subsequent press: you may change the entered 
character to the next one from this set.

 0: 

enter the space.

1:

 enter a special character (punctuation marks, etc).

 

Up, Down, Left, Right

 after pressing 1 (special character entering 

mode): select the required character.

ENTER 

— confirm selection; finish text entering.

SUBTITLE

 — enter the period (for numeric mode); functions like but-

ton 1 (character mode).

CLEAR (<-)

 — delete a character to the left of cursor. 

SELECT (cap|num) 

— switch input mode:

abc: 

character mode, small latin letters.

ABC:

 character mode, capital latin letters. 

123:

 numeric mode, digits.

RETURN 

— cancel the text changes and finish text entering.

Left/Right 

— move the cursor one character left/right.

Up/Down 

 — move the cursor to the start/end of a text line.

 If the cursor is already in start/end position: select another user interface element  which is 

under/over the current text entry area (only for dialogs with several elements of user inter-
face; text changes are confirmed automatically). 

POP UP MENU 

— show context menu with a list of available commands. They allow you to 

cut, copy and paste text using the clipboard, much like it is done on a PC.

abc

Standby Mode

Pressing the POWER remote control button switches the player to the Standby mode. 
In this mode the internal HDD (if installed) is turned off, as well as the video output, 
but the device does not switch off completely.

To activate the player from the Standby mode, press the 

POWER

 remote control button once 

again. The player will be switched on immediately (within several seconds).

Note: you can also configure the player to power off completely when pressing the 

POWER 

remote control button (see Setup / Miscellaneous / Advanced / "POWER" remote button).
