Basic Operation
Turning On the Unit
Press the button on the remote control or the front of the unit. The power light on the front panel
changes from red to blue when the unit is powered up.
• You should leave the unit plugged in with the socket switched on, at all times. When you are
not using the unit, put it in standby by pressing the button on the remote control or the front
of the unit.
• The unit will automatically switch to standby if it is not used for a long time. This feature can
be disabled – see the
Advanced Use section of this guide.
• There are some channel numbers missing in the channel list because spaces are left for future
channels to join freesat.
• If you enter a number that does not exist, the channel will not change.
The mute control also affects the sound supplied to the VCR SCART socket, and so using this
control while a programme is being recorded will affect the recording.
Changing the Channel
Step through the channels by pressing the
P+ / P- buttons on the remote control or the CH+ /
CH– buttons on the front of the unit. Press the P+ or CH+ button to select the next channel in the
channel list. Press the
P– or CH– button to select the previous channel in the list.
If you know the channel’s number, you can switch directly to the channel you want by using the
0-9
buttons on the remote control. As you enter a channel number, each digit appears at the top left
of the screen to show the number button you have pressed. All the freesat channel numbers have
three digits and the first channel is 101. The radio stations are stored from channel number 700.
Press the button to switch from the channel you are currently watching to the channel you were
watching before.
There are other ways to change
the
channel:
• Use the browsing bar at the bottom of the screen.
• Use the on-screen channel list.
• Use the programme guide.
Changing the Volume
You can increase or decrease the volume by using the
V+ / V– buttons on the remote control or the
VOL+ / VOL– buttons on the front of the unit. The sound is silenced by pressing the button and
restored to its previous level by pressing the button again.
