If you see the 5.1 audio icon as
shown then 'english5.1' has been
selected.

TROUBLESHOOTING: 

When 'english5.1' is selected, 

NO AUDIO

can be heard through your

television.  

This is normal.

The digital receiver will pass the Dolby Digital stream to a
compatible external amplifier via the optical connection.  The
digital receiver 

does not

perform a Mixdown L-R sound to your

television.

TELETEXT

Your digital receiver is capable of displaying teletext.  Teletext was
available also on the analog television system.  

The AUSTEXT service can be found on the 7 Digital service.

In the PROGRAM NOW banner
above, the text icon shows that
the teletext service is available.

Press the [

text

] key to activate teletext

Within a few seconds, you will see a screen similar to this.

AUSTEXT is
available on the
Seven Network.
