EVERYDAY OPERATION 2
Many of the menu screens displayed by the receiver have information texts about the keys functionalities, at the
base of the screen. In addition, many screens have further help available which is displayed when the [i] key is
pressed, as prompted at the bottom right of the screen.
CHANGING CHANNELS
You can select the channel you wish to watch in one of four ways - stepping through the channel list, selection by
number, from the on-screen channel list, and using the electronic programme guide (EPG).
To move through the channel list, press the [P+] or [P-] keys on the remote control. Pressing the [P+] key will select
the next channel in the channel list. Pressing the [P-] key will select the previous channel in the channel list.
Pressing the [P+] key while the last channel in the list is being viewed will select the first channel. Similarly, pressing
the [P-] key while the first channel is displayed will select the last channel in the channel list.
You can also select the required channel using its channel list number. Channel numbers are entered using the
numberic keys on the remote control handset and can be up to three digits long.
Hint
The channel list numbers are assigned by the broadcasters. Because not all channels are broadcast free-
to-air and stored by the receiver, the channel list numbers do not run continuously. The fifteenth channel
in the list, for example, may not be channel number 15 but channel number 17.
When you press a number key on the remote control, a small box appears in the top left of the screen to show the
entered number. After each digit is entered, the receiver will wait up to two seconds for the next digit to be pressed
until either three digits have been entered or you do not press a digit in time. The channel corresponding to the entered
number in the box will then be selected.
Hint
If you enter a number which does not correspond to a stored channel, the next valid channel number
is selected instead. If you enter a number greater than the highest numbered channel in the channel
list, the receiver will select the last channel in the list.
Information Banner
Whenever you change channel, using the [P+] and [P-] keys or the number keys, the receiver displays the channel
picture along with an information banner at the bottom of the screen. This will remain on the screen for approximately
three seconds. The information banner can also be displayed at any time while watching TV by pressing the [i] key
on the remote control. Pressing the [i] key again removes the banner.
Not all channels broadcast the programme data. If the name and times of the programme is not
available then 'Not available' is displayed in the information banner.
The information banner gives a number of facts on the channel selected and the programmes on it. The name of the
channel is displayed, along with its channel list number and an indication of the strength of the signal received on
this tuning channel.
The name and the start and finish time of the programme currently showing on the selected channel are given, and
the current time.
