Audio
HDMI Audio Out
HDMI is unique in that it can transmit both video and audio along the same
cable. This menu allows you to select whether or not to do this. In Auto mode,
Magic TV™ will send audio if it detects that the TV/receiver can accept it.
You may want to turn HDMI audio off if you are sending audio separately
to an AV receiver via the digital audio outputs.
Bitstream
By default the digital audio is transmitted in PCM format (Bitstream off) for
maximum compatibility with TVs. However, if you want to receive broadcasts
in 5.1 digital surround sound (to be passed to an AV receiver, for example),
Bitstream should be tried.
Sound Level
The Enhanced setting will boost the volume of analogue and digital audio
output from Magic TV™. Dolby Digital bitstream output is unaffected.

Recording
Extend/Delay Start Times
When a Scheduled Recording is made from the EPG, Magic TV™ will start at
exactly the time shown. However, if programmes are delayed or don’t match
with the EPG data, the beginning of the programme may be missed. Choosing
an Extend time here tells Magic TV™ to start recording all programmes earlier
than the scheduled time.
You can also set this time for individual programmes on the To Do List by
pressing
on a highlighted programme.
