The digital box is behaving 

in an unusual way, for 

example, the wrong 

information is on the 

screen.

Press the 

[

]

 button on your remote control to turn the box off 

and then on again. If there is no improvement, put the box on 

standby, switch it off at the mains and leave it for 10 seconds 

before switching it back on. If this does not work, reset the 
software Press 

[menu]

. Press 

[4]

 or use 

[

q

]

 to highlight 

‘System set-up’ and press 

[OK]

. Select ‘factory reset’ and 

press 

[OK]

. You will see the PIN screen. Type in your PIN. Press 

[OK]

 again to reset the software. When the digital box shuts 

down, switch it off at the mains and leave it for 10 seconds 

before switching it back on. After you switch the digital box 
on, press 

[OK]

 when you are asked to and the digital box will 

automatically scan for channels. Please remember you will lose 

all your previous settings when you reset the software, your 

favourites list and recording schedules will be cleared.

I set 5 recordings to a 

device but only 3 were 

recorded.

This could have happened for various reasons: 
The USB device could have been removed during recording.
The USB device could have been run out of space when 

recording.
To avoid this problem in future refer to the ‘Schedule record 

summary’. This helps you view scheduled recordings in periods 

of 24 hrs., 1 week, 2 weeks or 4 weeks. 
Make sure you have USB devices with enough free space 

inserted when a recording is scheduled.

The green light is not 

turned when the USB 

device is inserted.

Press 

[PLAY]

 to view the ‘Recorded programmes list’. The 

screen will show one of the following messages - unformatted 

or device is too slow to use. Format the device or insert a 

compatible device.
