5. The OSD menu: The most important functions

GB 6

OSD = On Screen Display

Open and close the OSD:

Carry out all your receiver

settings via the OSD. Press the MENU button to open the
OSD. To close the OSD, press the MENU or EXIT button
until all the menus have been closed.

Navigate in the OSD:

Use the control buttons or

 specific buttons to navigate through the OSD. These
 buttons and their functions are displayed in the OSD. The
number buttons on the remote  control are usually used
for this task.

General OSD information:

The receiver has been

 preset and usually no or only a few changes are
 necessary. The OSD is clearly structured and the buttons
required for changing a certain setting are shown on the
screen. These are the best prerequisites for putting the
operating instructions to one side and referring to them
again at a later date, e.g. after extending the antenna
 installation.

If you are a novice to digital satellite reception, please
take time and carefully read through the  entire operating
instructions once. The instructions contain several
 possibilities to extend your antenna installation.
