2.1.1 Volume control

Use the and controls on the remote to alter the volume to a comfortable level. You may need to adjust the volume on your television set too, so that the controls on the PVR’s remote give you a good range of control, without too much noise or distortion.

To temporarily switch off the sound, press the button on the remote control. Press it again to restore the sound to the previous level.

The PVR’s remote control changes the volume or mutes the sound sent through the TV SCART connector, the left and right audio connectors, and the RF OUT. Neither the volume nor the mute buttons affect the signal sent to the VCR SCART connec- tor, or the S/PDIF optical connector.

2.1.2 Changing channels

The simplest way of changing channels is to press the appro- priate numbers on the remote control; if a channel number has more than one digit, don’t wait too long between each key press.

For example, to switch to Five, press 5. To switch to ITV4, press 3 then 0.

You can also use the and buttons on the remote control; press either of these keys to move to the next or previous chan- nel in the list. They’re a good way of just flicking through the channels to see what’s on —as each channel appears, the In- formation box will pop up, telling you the name of the current programme.

If you’re not sure which channels you have, or you can’t re- member the correct numbers, press the List, or OK/List but- ton on the remote control, and you’ll see a display like this:
