Important notes on operating the unit

The implementation of an "On Screen Display" (text shown on screen) helps to simplify thed operation of the digital receiver, and also helps to reduce the number of kews required on the remote control unit. All functions are indicated on the screen, and can be implemented with a few keys. Related functions are combined in a "MENU". The function selected will be marked and highlighted in a different colour. The bottom line of the display shows colour bars in green, red, yellow and blue, corrresponding to the function keys in these colours. In the various menus these colour bars represent different functions which can be accessed by pressing the multi-function key of the appropriate colour on the remote control unit. The function keys are only active if a brief description appears in the appropriate field.

Key descriptions and other terms appearing in the OSD menu are shown in emphasized letters in this operating manual.
