Info Format
Front Panel Brightness
From here, you can select a reduced brightness setting for the front panel.
Front Panel Clock
Normally, when Magic TV™ is in ‘Standby’, the front panel will display the
current time in 12-hour AM/PM format. This menu allows you to change the
display to a 24-hour clock, or turn it off.
OSD Transparency
When the Magic TV™ menus overlay a TV programme, they are transparent
so that you can still see the moving image below.
The level of transparency can be set here.
Adjust OSD Size
If your TV overscans the image from Magic TV™ so that the menus spill
off the edge of the screen, you can shrink the On-Screen Display (OSD)
by -1% to -5% here.
USB Storage Message
When Magic TV™ is initially turned on, it will display a message telling you if
you have a USB device attached and if it is suitable for recording. If you want
to remove this message, set this option to ‘Off’.
Recording OSD Logo
During recording, Magic TV™ will display a
logo for 3 seconds
at 10 seconds intervals. This setting allows you to turn the logo off.
Playback OSD Logo
During playback of recorded programmes, Magic TV™ will display
a
logo for 3 seconds at 10 seconds intervals. This setting allows you
to turn the logo off.

Video Output Format
50/60Hz
. As Australian DTT programmes will normally be broadcast
in 50Hz, selection of a 50Hz format from the list below is recommended.
However, some TVs (perhaps from Japan or America where broadcasts
are in 60Hz) may not happily accept a 50Hz signal. In this case choose
from the list of 60Hz formats provided.
Standard Definition analogue outputs will output PAL if a 50Hz setting has
been chosen and NTSC if a 60Hz output has been chosen.
To ensure that you can always see a picture, Magic TV™ will automatically
revert back to the previous format after 15 seconds if you haven’t responded
to the on-screen prompt.
