Player/Radio Menu

If you have a disc that contains both MP3 files and JPEG images, you can choose to run these simultaneously, mixing the MP3 audio with your own images. The time interval can be chosen in the Picture Setting.

Also you can have the image files follow the audio signal: at the end of each audio track, the next JPEG image will be shown.

With such discs, you can also either listen to the MP3 audio or watch the JPEG video files only. In order to do so, in stop mode, click on the AUDIO or PICTURE icons on the left part of the screen to select or deselect the desired format. Once done, the tracklist will only show the MP3 or JPEG files.

Radio Menu

The FM Tuner in the HS 150 can be used to listen to the Radio. Before listening to the radio sta- tions, you need to preset your favorite stations. The easiest way to do so is with the OSD screen on your monitor.

1.Press the Radio button 0 on the remote control to turn the DVD Receiver on and select Radio as the source. Also make sure that your video monitor connected to the HS 150 is switched on.

2.The TV monitor will show the RADIO Menu, as shown below. You can also select the RADIO Menu with the ARROW 9 keys on the remote control. Once the RADIO tab is highlighted, press ENTER 6 to access the RADIO Menu.

The RADIO Menu shows the selected Audio mode, the name of a station currently played (as long as RDS is available) and a Station list listing the 30 stations with their preset, station name and frequency.

Note: The stations can be preset auto- matically or manually. The Manual Preset mode is described first. The Auto Preset mode is described later in this manual.

3.The RDS and AUTO Tune functions are switched on by default, shown by the dark blue icons, to make the process of tuning your favorite stations as easy as possible. Move the cursor to the end of the first station line in the menu. The frequency will be highlighted and a brief explanation will appear in the Upper Menu Line on the bottom of the menu.

NOTE: Both RDS and AUTO Tune functions can be switched off by moving the cursor button to the icon at the left side of the menu and pressing the Enter Button on the remote control so that it turns light blue.

4.Pressing the search G / H button HJ will scan the FM band for the first available radio station with acceptable reception. The scan will stop once a station is found and the name of the station will be displayed (as long as RDS is transmitted by the station).

The station will be stored automatically on the current preset.

If you know the frequency of your station, you can also tune the frequency directly with the help of the numeric keys of the remote control. Move the cursor to the end of the station line and press the frequency with the numeric keys. Press Enter

6twice to store.

5.Move the cursor to the next station line in the menu. Follow the directions in step 3 and in the Upper Menu Line to store all your radio stations in the tuner’s memory.

Rearranging the station list

Once all the stations have been stored in the memory, you can rearrange the station list, putting your favorite stations on top of the list.

1.Move the cursor in the left column in the station list to the first station you would like to rearrange.

2.Press Enter 6 to activate the current station. The cursor will move to the Lower Menu Line of the screen.

3.Select the desired preset from the list by moving the cursor right or left. Press Enter 6 to activate the change. The cursor will move back to the new station line.

4.Repeat step 3 until all radio stations have been rearranged according to your preferences.

Selecting presets

Once rearranged, presets can be chosen at any time by pressing the numeric key corresponding to the preset you would like to listen to.

Depending on whether the RDS function is active, the station name will show on the front panel Information Display.

Pressing the Previous/Next I / J Button EF will select the next radio station.

Presets can also be chosen in the Radio Menu. Move the cursor to the preset you would like to listen to and press Enter 6 to activate. An arrow in front of the preset will light to show the active radio station. The cursor can be moved around the menu without changing the current radio station. Pressing the Previous/Next I / J Button EF at any position in the menu will select the next radio station, that is for instance from preset 3 to preset 4, even if the cursor is highlighting preset 11. Pressing the Play button will always return the cursor to the current station played, no matter were it was previously (even when another menu is open).

Removing presets

If you wish to remove presets from your preset list, follow the steps below.

1.Move the cursor in the left column in the station list to the preset you would like to remove.

2.Press Enter 6 to activate the current station. The cursor will move to the Lower Menu Line of the screen.

3.Select Remove from the list and press Enter 6. The cursor will move back to the original station line.

4.Repeat step 3 until all radio stations you would like to delete have been removed.

Auto Preset function

When the cursor is moved to the " # " icon on top of the preset numbers you can activate the Auto Preset function, clear the complete frequency list or restore all default frequencies set by the factory.

When the Auto Preset is selected the tuner will scan the full FM range and store all stations with acceptable reception one after another on the presets. The frequency scanned will appear on the left lower side of the menu while the fre- quency of each station stored will be shown on the right side of the list. When the complete FM range is scanned or all presets (30) are loaded with stations the scan will stop and the first preset be selected.

You also can stop the scan at any time by pressing the STOP button I. Stations can be rearranged by following the explanations in the chapter "Rearranging the station list" on page 23.
