advanced operation
SELECT
This function selects a channel for viewing and is an alternative to using the “P/CH+” and “- P/CH” keys, channel number or EPG. Highlight the channel to be viewed, highlight the “SELECT” button at the base of the screen
using the “
“ or “
” keys and press “SELECT” key. The high- lighted channel now appears in the image window and you can leave the Channel List to view the channel by pressing “MENU” key.
EDIT NAME
The channel names which ap- pear in the channel list and the in- formation banner are assigned by the broadcasters and some long- er names are abbreviated to be- come unrecognisable. You can edit the names to suit your prefer- ences with the Edit Name func- tion.
Highlight the channel to be re- named, highlight the EDIT NAME button at the base of the screen
using the “
“ or “
” keys, and press “SELECT” key. The high- lighted channel name appears on the right of the screen with the first character highlighted by a cursor. Any of the 16 characters that make up a channel name can be
highlighted using the “
“ or “
” keys and the highlighted charac- ter changed by pressing the “
“ or “
” keys to cycle through the alphabet, numbers and other characters available.
DELETE
Duplicate entries can be produced in the channel list from transmitters operating at different frequencies in adjacent areas, and you may wish to delete these duplicate entries from the list. In addition, the chan- nel list may include the channels which you do not want in the list.
Highlight the channel to be deleted, highlight the DELETE button at the
base of the screen using the “
“ or
“
keys, and press “SELECT” key. The warning message “The se- lected service will be permanently deleted. Are you sure?” is dis- played on the screen. Press “SE- LECT” key. The highlighted channel is deleted from the list.
You can now perform further editing on the channel list, or return to nor- mal broadcast viewing by pressing the “MENU” key.
Hint
You can also enter a channel name using the number keys on the remote control. Each key repre- sents several letters (as marked on the remote control) and pressing a key several times will enter each letter (in both capitals and lower case), and the number, in turn, in the character position marked by the cursor. The zero key enters all the punctuation marks available and a blank space. With practise, this is a very quick means of enter- ing the required letters into the channel name.
When the required changes have been made, pressing “SELECT” key stores the new name and returns to the Channel List screen. Alternatively, pressing “MENU” key will abandon the name change and return to the previous name.
You can now perform further editing on the channel list, or return to normal broadcast viewing by pressing the “MENU” key.
Using the other two functions of the Channel List menu screen - LOCK and FAVOURITES - is dealt with in the next sections.
