* = default setting

HDMI is unique in that it can transmit both video and audio along the same cable. This menu allows you to select whether or not to do this. In Auto mode, Magic TV™ will send audio if it detects that the TV/receiver can accept it. You may want to turn HDMI audio off if you are sending audio separately to an AV receiver via the digital audio outputs.

Bitstream

On

By default the digital audio is transmitted in PCM format (Bitstream off) for maximum compatibility with TVs. However, if you want to receive broadcasts in 5.1 digital surround sound (to be passed to an AV receiver, for example), Bitstream should be tried.

Channel List

Here, you’ll see a list of all the channels currently found by Magic TV™. If you select a channel, you will be given the option to either:

View this channel

Delete this channel

Exit

Deleting a channel will make it unavailable to view or browse on the EPG. To restore the channel, a new channel scan will have to be performed.

Auto Channel Scan

After entering Auto Scan, you will be asked to confirm that you want to delete all current channels. After proceeding, Magic TV™ will begin scanning for channels. A yellow bar will represent the scanning process. The scan can be stopped at any time and any found channels will be available to view. When the scan has finished, Magic TV™ will jump

to Live TV.
