If no digital terrestrial television broadcasts are found the receiver will display a message:

You should then refer to the Troubleshooting Guide on page 20 to establish the cause of the problem.

When you have finished watching digital terrestrial broadcasting, you may wish to switch the receiver to standbyto save power - although the receiver can remain powered up continuously, even when the television is turned off, without harm to the television or itself.

Hint

In standby, the receiver still consumes power and thereby contributes to air and water pollution and the exhaustion of the World's natural resources. Overnight, or when your receiver is not going to be used for long periods of time, you can turn it off at the mains and this will save energy (and save your money). You will not have to re-install the receiver when it is turned on again.

EVERYDAY OPERATION

While using the STB to the full there are great many buttons to use in different situations. Many of the menu screens displayed by the receiver have reminders as to which keys do what, at the base of the screen. In addition, many screens have further help available which is displayed when the [i] key is pressed, as prompted at the bottom right of the screen.

Providing your TV set SCART socket has switch control, pressing the [TV/DTV] key at anytime while watching television programmes will switch the TV set between displaying the digital terrestrial television programme and its normal analogue television reception.

CHANGING CHANNELS

You can choose the channel by using the P/ buttons or the number buttons.

W hen using the number buttons, enter the programme number as follows.

Example: PR6 press 6, PR12 press 12 , PR123 press 1,2 and 3.

Hint

The channel list numbers are assigned by the broadcasters. Because not all channels are broadcast free-to-air and stored by the receiver, t h e c h an n e l l ist n u m b e rs d o n o t r u n continuously. The fifteenth channel in the list, for example, may not be channel number 15 but channel number 17.

Hint

If you en t er a n um ber wh ich d o es no t correspond to a stored channel, the next valid channel number is selected instead. If you enter a number greater than the highest numbered channel in the channel list, the receiver will select the last channel in the list.

Information Banner

Whenever you change channel, using the [P+] and [P-] keys or the number keys, the receiver displays the channel picture along with an information banner at the bottom of the screen. This will remain on the screen for approximately three seconds. The information banner can also be displayed at any time while watching TV by pressing the [i] key on the remote control. Pressing the [i] key again removes the banner.

Hint

Not all channels broadcast the programme data. If the name and times of the programme is not available then ‘No Information’ is displayed in the information banner.

The information banner gives a number of facts on the channel selected and the programmes on it. The name of the channel is displayed, along with its channel list number and an indication of the strength of the signal received on this tuning channel.

The name and the start and finish time of the programme currently showing on the selected channel are given, and the current time.
