Setting the timer
This menu provides an overview of the 8 timer locations and the option to add timers manually.
• Timer number: use the VOL(+/-) button to select a timer (1-8).
• Programme: press VOL-button and subsequently use the buttons CHANNEL (Up/Down) to select
the desired programme from the list.
• Date: Programme the date manually, using 8 digits (e.g. 8th of January 2006):
[0] [8] [0] [1] [2] [0] [0] [6]. Use the VOL-button to make any corrections.
• Start time: Start time of the programme/recording is in the 24-hour format.
• Duration: The duration of the programme is in hours and minutes. For a programme having a
duration of 90 minutes, set the timer to 01:30 (1 hour: 30 minutes). When recording, it is
recommended to increase the recording time beyond the “duration” to allow for possible overruns.
• Typ: Selecting “Type” lets you choose whether you would like to view or record a broadcast just
once, daily or weekly.
• Reception (TV/VCR): Finally, determine whether you would like to record or watch a certain
broadcast at a pre-selected time.
Live: At a selected time, the receiver will switch to the pre-determined programme. This type of
programming is helpful, if you do not want to miss a specific programme.
Recording: The TV image remains the same at the start, except for a short note that the recording
has started. Check if the video recorder has switched to the recording mode.
Playback: to play back a recorded file at a pre-determined time.
Setting up the password
You can lock programmes with contents unsuitable for minors and the receiver to prevent
unauthorised access. Certain programmes and parts of the screen menu can later only be recalled
by entering a 4-digit password.
• Option “Setup and Programmes”: The OSD menu and all locked programmes can only be recalled
after entering a password.
• Option “Setup”: Password protected OSD menu, unlimited access to all programmes.
• Option “Protection of minors off”: Unlimited access to OSD menu and programmes.
Changing the password
The factory-set password is 0000. To change the password, enter the old number combination once,
then enter the new password twice. Please do remember the password!
Do not use birthdates – this is a very poor selection of a password and it is not safe. Instead, use
easy to remember words and use the letters on your remote control to identify them:
The word „Haus“ would be identified by pressing the following numbers: [ 4 ] [ 2 ] [ 8 ] [ 7 ].
Reset
There are three options to reset the device:
• Factory setting: The device will be reset to the factory settings, using the original settings and
programme lists.
• Delete all programme lists: Retain all device settings and delete all programme lists.
• Basic setting: Reset all device and default settings but retain all own programme lists.
