Everyday Use
This section describes the day-to-day use of your Plaza
DS•100A receiver – how to select the channels that
you want to watch, view the programme schedules,
and control the basic features.
CHANGING CHANNELS
Step through the channels by pressing the
or
buttons on
the remote control (or the
CH
+
and
CH
–
buttons behind the fold-
down flap on the front of the Plaza DS•100A receiver). Pressing
the
or
CH
+
button will select the next channel in the channel
list. Pressing the
or
CH
–
button will 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 number 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.
TURNING ON THE RECEIVER
Press the
button on the remote control or the
button
on the front of the receiver. The power light on the front panel
changes from red to blue when the receiver is powered up.
You can turn off the Plaza DS•100A, so it goes into standby, by
pressing the
button on the remote control or the
button on
the receiver. When the receiver is in standby, the power light on the
front panel turns red. The Plaza DS•100A uses less power when in
standby.
