6.3. CHANNEL NAVIGATION  

There are two ways to navigate through the channels: 

1.  Pressing P+/P- keys will help you to go to the next or the previous channel in the list. 

2.  Pressing a number key will activate a small digit entry window on the left upper corner of the screen. After a digit 

is entered, the box will wait for 2 seconds till you enter another digit. If no digit is entered during these 2 seconds, 

then the box will switch to the entered number channel. 

 

If a number that is greater than the maximum number of channels is entered, the box will switch automatically to 

the last channel. Each time the box switches to the desired channel, an information window  is displayed on the 

lower  part  of  the  screen.  The  small  bar  on  top  right  of  the  banner  indicates  the  current  signal  quality.  On  this 

channel info window there are: 

 

 

 

Ø

  Current event name next event name, and their start and end times. 

Ø

  Time  

Ø

  Channel number 

Ø

  Name of the channel 

Ø

  An icon indicating that the channel is set as favourite (if the channel is not set as favourite the field is left empty) 

Ø

  TV / Radio icon 

 

When switching to a locked channel, lock code is requested via a window as shown in 

the  picture.  Only  after  the  correct  code  is  entered,  it  is  allowed  to  access  to  this 

channel.  To skip this channel, P+/P- cursor keys must be used. 

 

 

6.4. VOLUME CONTROL  

The volume level of the sound from the  receiver can be altered with 

the [V+] and [V-] keys on the remote control handset. Pressing either 

key displays a bar graph of the sound volume on the TV screen.The 

volume level selected will remain set, even when the receiver is turned 

off and on again, until it is altered with the [V+] and [V-] keys. 

 

Please  note,  that  if  you  decrease  the  normal  volume,  the  VCR  output  volume  will  also  be  decreased.  This  will 

affect any recording that you are making from your set-top box. 

 

The audio volume adjustment for the receiver is independent of the volume control on your TV set. Be careful that 

both volume controls are kept within reasonable levels so that when switching from analogue to digital television 

viewing, or when first turning on your TV set, the sound level is not suddenly very high. 

 

You can silence the sound from the receiver by pressing the [MUTE] key. The sound remains muted 

until the [MUTE] key is pressed again, the [V+] or [V-] keys are pressed, or until the receiver is turned 

off and on again.While the sound is muted in this way, the mute symbol is displayed in the top left of 

the  TV  screen.  The  symbol  is  removed  after  3  seconds,  but  the  sound  will  remain  muted  until  the 

[MUTE] key is pressed for the second time,and the mute symbol will display for 3 seconds.
