Controls on the receiver
On the right side of the receiver’s front there are 4 buttons for operating the receiver manually (see Figure 9 (Receiver
Front End)).
Figure 9
(Receiver Front End)
These buttons give access to the menu system to enable you to exercise many of the controls without the remote control
itself. The functions are the same as those provided by the buttons on the remote control.
To the left of the buttons, there are two LEDS – a red one and a blue one. When the power is connected to the receiver,
both lights flash as the unit is initialised. After that, the indications given are :
Red Blue

Note that when the unit goes into standby, both red and blue LEDs are on for a short time while the unit is shut down.

Programme cards
Programme cards are used with the inbuilt conditional access system in the receiver to enable you to watch encrypted
channels. There are two card readers on the right-hand side of the receiver.
Warning
: turn the power off before changing programme cards.
Insert cards into the reader so that the gold contacts are facing downwards.
The status of the cards can be checked via the on-screen menu, as described in section 11.1
