your television set is turned on and that the correct input or channel has been selected, so that you will be able to see the display from the PVR.

Now, press the Standby button on the front of the PVR or on the remote control. As the PVR starts, the front panel display will show first C4.56, followed by the word ‘run’. You will need to perform some initial set up steps before you can start using your TF 5800.

1.5.1 Searching for TV and radio channels

The first step in setting up your PVR is to search for the avail- able TV and radio channels.

If there are no channels stored, you will not be able to access other menu options. If you ever use the Factory Setting op- tion in the menus to fully reset your PVR, you will have to perform this procedure again.

When you turn on the PVR, it may automatically display the Service Search screen. If not, press the Menu button on the remote control, move to Installation with the arrow keys, then press OK.

On the next screen, move to Installation, and press OK again. Next select Service search and press OK.

On the next screen, move to Search Mode and ensure that the Auto option is selected —you can change options by using the left and right arrows.

All the system menus work in this way; in future, we’ll simply explain which options to select; remember to move up and down to highlight menu entries, left and right to change the options, and OK to select or confirm.

Next, move down to Start search, and then press OK. The PVR will start to search for channels, and will display a list of TV and radio services as they are found.
