MAKING USER SETTINGS (cont.)
Making Front-Panel Settings
You can use the Front Panel Settings menu to set the brightness level of the front-panel lights (but not the
POWER
light) when the set-top is being used (“Viewing Brightness”) and when it is switched off (“Standby
Brightness”).
In the front panel of the set-top is an IR (infrared) receiver, which reacts when you press buttons on the remote
control. You can use the Front Panel Settings menu to turn this IR receiver off. Generally, you should leave it
set to “On”, but you may wish to turn it off if you have a plasma HDTV that causes interference with the remote
control.
If you turn it off but still wish to control the set-top by remote control, you must connect a “remote eye”
(IR tether) to the IR RECEIVE connector on the set-top’s rear panel and place the remote eye away from the
HDTV. If you have no remote eye, and “IR Receiver” is set to “Off”, the only way to control the set-top is to use
the front-panel buttons.
If you have not done so already, put the set-top into User Settings mode, as described on page 25.
1. Press the
U
or
D
button until the front panel shows “FP”.
On the PACE USER SETTINGS menu, Front Panel Settings is highlighted when “FP” is on the front panel.
2. Press the
R
button. The Front Panel Settings menu, shown right, appears on the TV screen.
3. Press the
U
or
D
button to highlight “Standby Brightness” and “Viewing Brightness” in turn, as required.
4. For each level, use the
SELECT
button to choose the setting you want: “Low”, “Std” (Standard), or “High”
(the setting changes each time you press
SELECT
). Look at the dimming and brightening of the front-
panel lights while you are making the settings, to see the effect of your selections.
5. If you wish to turn off the IR Receiver, press the
U
or
D
button to highlight “IR Receiver” on the menu,
then press
SELECT
to change the setting to “Off”.
Note that if you do this, you will then have to use the set-top’s front-panel buttons (or a remote eye) to
control the set-top and make any further settings.
6. When you have made all the changes you want, press
L
to redisplay the PACE USER SETTINGS menu.
