11 Summary
This is a slightly informal summary of the entire instruction manual – a few pieces of good advice and tips
as remuneration for those who have read up to this point :-)
Unwrap the set-top box and take it out from the box. Remove all packaging materials but do not throw
away the box if the set-top box is subject to lease.
If it is cold outside (the temperature is at or below the freezing point), get the set-top box adapted after
unwrapping in the room for approx. 30 minutes.
Connect all the cables as is specified in the instruction manual, put batteries in the remote control and
switch the set-top box on.
Upon a successful start (colored points on the screen, which takes approx. 4 minutes), the set-top box will
ask you to enter the PUK code (which is provided in the letter concerning the service) and the PIN codes
(which you will make up). Then the service should be activated.
If you wish to use the HDMI output on the set-top box, it is necessary to perform this output setting prior
to the starting process (see section 8 – Set-top box setting).
What is available for watching and how shall I control it?
Watching TV
Channels
may be switched between either in a classical way using numbers or by the up / down system
(using the cursor arrow keys). A good thing is to press the right or left cursor arrow key - you will get a list
of all channels. Going to the selected channel and confirming your option by pressing "OK", you activate
it.
Sound
may be amplified both on a television set and on the set-top box. Or it may be completely
switched off (MUTE). If you wish to have sound switched off WITHOUT the disturbing MUTE icon on
the screen, do not press MUTE, however, turn it down to zero in a classical way.
Languages
– it may happen that the program is broadcast in multiple languages. For the purpose of
a change in the language, first press the
yellow
button at the bottom and then select the language using
the cursor arrow keys. Confirm the selected language with “OK”. On the other hand, it may happen that
the desirable language will not be available at all even when it will be on the list. In this case, you may try
to activate
subtitles
- press the
blue
button and a list of available titles should be displayed (if they are
available). If you are not able to remember the colors of the buttons, press
OK
– the help will be displayed
informing you on what is available for the respective program.
Channel is locked by the parent lock
– press the
red
button at the bottom and enter the PIN code of
the parent lock. Thus, the channel becomes activated. If you switch to another channel, the previous one
will be locked again within approx. 30 seconds. This may be resolved only by blocking the parent lock on
a temporary or permanent basis (see below) but be careful about your children.
Teletext
Teletext may be displayed by the
TEXT
button. If you press TEXT again, teletext appears in the semi-
transparent form (you can see the text and on the background the TV program). Back to watching TV,
you get by the
TV
button. As far as all the other aspects, this concerns the standard teletext. It is not
available for all channels and in case of foreign channels, it is in the respective native (foreign) language.
EPG alias electronic TV program
Upon every change in the program, the so-called quick EPG - info on what you are just watching,
is displayed automatically. After a few seconds, this information disappears. It is always possible to
activate / deactivate it manually by pressing “OK”.
The full EPG (TV program) is displayed by pressing the TV button on the right side of the control.
