6 Operation
6.1 Switching on and off
>
Use the key
On/standby
on the receiver or on the remote control to switch the
receiver on.
>
Pressing the same key on the receiver or on the remote control again will switch the
receiver off again.
>
The receiver is now in standby mode, the display on the receiver will now show the
time.
If the time is not shown, this must still be acquired by the receiver. In Germany, it is
sufficient to switch the receiver on, and to select Channel 2 (ZDF) of the public servi-
ce broadcast system for approx. 1 minute, for the time to be acquired automatically.
6.2 Programme Selection
6.2.1 Using the Programme up/down keys
>
Use the Programme (Channel)
up/down keys
either on the receiver front panel or
on the remote control to move up or down the list one channel at a time.
6.2.2 Using the Numeric Key Pad
Use the numeric key pad to enter the desired programme/channel number directly:
For example:
1
Programme/channel 1
1
, followed by
4
Programme/channel 14
2
, followed by
3
, followed by
4
Programme/channel 234
When entering programme numbers consisting of more than one digit, you have about 3
seconds after pressing one digit to enter the next digit, in order to complete the entry in such
a way that the receiver recognises all digits as part of one selection.
If you are entering a programme number with only one or two digits, you can speed up the
selection process by pressing
OK
after entering the last digit.
