 Notes

 If the unit is disconnected from the AC mains, all programme data 

are lost.

 The programme list is available immediately if this unit has found 

a digital station and loaded the information in the memory. This 
process can take a while depending on the particular station.

 The programme list data are continuously downloaded in the 

background when the unit is turned on. That means that the 
programme list can sometimes change while you are looking at it.
