Modes of operation – EPG
In front of the programme‘s title, the system places an ✓. This station is switched to later when the set is switched on. If the TV is off, it switches on again automatically at the beginning of the marked programme if this has been set in the EPG menu. If you are out, a security prompt prevents the TV set staying on unattended.
Before leaving the upper selection lines using the blue colour key, select a specific line. If you have switched back to the station list, you can change
this menu line using | without having to leave the station list. |

Programming recording for recorders |

You can prepare the station for recording marked using the | buttons | |
by pressing the red colour key. In the following menu, confirm the timer data or change them as required. Then a red dot is set in front of this programme in the EPG station list as an identification. If you select this programme, you can delete it from the timer using the red colour key (if the timer data has been transferred to the recorder, the timer has to be deleted there).

Selecting providers and stations
If you want to change the provider for analogue TV reception (the station which transmits EPG data) to have other stations evaluated, you can do this under “Select provider“.
Select “Select provider“ and call this menu using OK. If the station you want to switch to is not listed in the “Select provider“ list, then use the yellow colour key to start the automatic search for stations with EPG data. This takes a while.
Or, if you know the station that transmits EPG data, press the blue colour key to compile manually. Select the provider in the station list and adopt it by using OK and return to the provider selection using .
Select the provider in “Select provider“ and adopt it using OK. Then a station list search is performed. The stations offered by the provider are displayed in a list.
If you want certain stations to be omitted from the programme guide, you can select and deactivate these via Select stations. Call the station selection by using the blue colour key.
Now all stations are displayed (the DVB stations, too). Stations indicated with E are analogue terrestrial/cable stations; stations indicated with D are digital stations ready for the programme guide. Select the stations you want to omit from the programme guide one after another and deactivate each one by using OK.
Data entry
After these settings or after each time the set is switched off using the mains switch, the data must first be collected, before switching on the set. To do this, select the station you have defined as a provider and leave the TV set switched on for about one hour or switch the set to the standby mode. After about two minutes, the orange indicator on the set lights up (for Xelos A 32/37, both indicators light up). The data capture begins and lasts about 1 hour. The data are also automatically collected between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. when the TV is switched to standby.
A prerequisite for data acquisition is that “Data capture“ is “on“ (for DVB + analogue) in the EPG menu.
Note: If the TV set is switched off using the mains switch or the mains plug is pulled out, all EPG data are lost.
If, for example, you cannot receive any analogue EPG providers or if you only use DVB, you should set the data capture to “on (only for DVB)“.
Switch on TV when marked
You can have the TV switched on automatically from standby at the beginning of the memorised programme. If you are not present at the time, a safety prompt makes sure the TV switches off again after 5 minutes.
