Auto retune and associated messages

A signal is sent out by the broadcaster when channels change or new ones are available. Auto retune (assisted retune) picks up this signal and automatically scans for new channels. This can happen at any time and may happen more than once during the digital switchover. You can adjust this so the retune starts with or without your permission.

In the channel set-up menu

1.Select ‘Auto retune’.

2.Use [T] and [U] to change the auto retune settings.

3.Press [OK] to accept.

Always ask – a ‘confirm retune screen’ will appear before a retune.

Always start – retune starts automatically, warning you during the retune.

Auto retune messages

You can also receive messages about changes that are happening in the future. There are three types of message.

Major – retune information and user action is needed.

Minor – retune information, user action is not needed.

Information – other broadcast information, not needing a retune.

Don’t Forget! You may see retune messages more than once before a retune.

Adjusting the auto retune messages

You can choose how the messages will appear on your receiver.

In the channel set-up menu

1.Select ‘Auto retune messages’.

2.Use [T] and [U] to change the auto retune messages settings.

All – shows all types of messages.

No minor – shows ‘information’ and ‘major’ messages.

Information only – shows ‘information’.

None – no messages will be shown unless auto retune is set to ‘Always ask’, when ‘major’ messages will be shown.
