LefT and RighT arrow buttons to choose
from 4:3 Letterbox (black bars top and bottom), 4:3
Centre Cut-out (full screen, but lost picture on left
and right), 4:3 full frame (if your 4:3 TV supports 16:9
switching, check your TV manual) or 16:9 widescreen
(for widescreen TVs).
TV picture adjust horizontal and TV picture adjust vertical
Select these options to move the picture generated by the DTR either horizontally or
vertically so it sits centrally on your television screen.
SCART setting
Use the
LefT and RighT arrow buttons to choose from RgB (best picture), S-Video (for
specific TVs) or CVBS for all other types. See your TV manual for the best choice, it usually
depends on which socket you connect to.
programme search
This option turns on or off the ‘Search’ facility (accessed using the ReD key in the guide) that
provides a search facility across the programme guide and recorded programmes. when
enabled the ReD key is used to access the Search screen and the whiTe (R) key is used to record
programmes within the guide. if disabled the ReD key is also used to record programmes
within the guide.
Synopsis pop-up delay
This option allows you to either turn off the synopsis window that pops-up over the guide or video
when a programme is selected, or to change the period that you wait for before it appears.
plasma blanking
This option allows you to specify a time after which the display automatically dims. This is
important as static images can damage certain screen types.
for both Radio and plasma blanking the available settings are:
off, 3, 5, 10, 20
(minutes)
it is strongly recommended that the main TV is connected using the scart lead as this will
provide the best possible pictures. These instructions assume you are connected to the
main TV with a scart lead as shown on page 6.
