Subtitles
Subtitles can be displayed to assist viewers with impaired hearing.

Audio descriptions provide a verbal narrative of the on-screen visuals to assist viewers with
impaired sight.
If a programme has an audio description available, will be displayed in the programme
information.
To turn the audio description facility on or off, press the
AD
button once to display the current
setting and again to change it.
To select a different language for the audio description facility, press the

Watching conflicts
Avalon has two television tuners, allowing you to record or watch up to two channels
simultaneously. You cannot watch a third channel through Avalon while recording from two
other channels. You can only watch one of the channels that is being recorded.
If you are recording two channels and try to watch a third, a watching conflict will occur and a
message is displayed on the screen.
If you want to watch another channel, you must choose one of the recordings to stop. Select it
and then press the red (
Stop Recording
) button. The third channel will then be displayed.
Alternatively, pick one of the channels being recorded to watch by selecting it and then
pressing the
OK
button. The selected channel will then be displayed.
Note:
If you are recording two channels but want to watch a third channel, you may be able to
watch the third channel using your television’s own internal digital tuner. If required, you
can connect your television’s aerial connection from the Aerial Out socket on Avalon.
