Important notes on operation

The use of a so-called "On Screen Display" simplifies the operation of the digital receiver, and reduces the number of keys required on the remote control unit. All functions are displayed on the screen, and can be controlled by a few key- strokes. Related functions are grouped together in a "MENU". The selected function is highlighted in a different colour. The lower line of the display shows coloured bars representing the red, green, yellow and blue function keys. These coloured bars represent different functions in the various menues, which can be executed by pressing the appropriate colour- coded key (“multi-function key”) on the remote control unit. The function keys are only active when a brief description is displayed in the appropriate field.

The descriptions of keys and terms that appear in the OSD menu are printed in bold type in this operating manual.
