Important hints on Usage

The use of a so-called "On Screen Display" (see example of screen shots) simplifies the use of the receiver, and makes it possible to manage with fewer buttons on the remote control unit. All functions are displayed on the TV screen, and can be adjusted with a few clicks of the button.

Functions that logically belong together are combined into a single "MENU".

The function selected is marked by a blue background in the relevant line. A short comment on the selected function is shown in the lower half of the display.

Terms used in the OSD menu are shown in bold type in this instruction manual. Example:

>Use the button MENU to open the Main Menu

>Now select the line of text OSD LANGUAGE, by marking the appropriate line with the aid of the arrow up/down controls

>Confirm with OK
