Programme selection

Important on-screen displays

The receiver functions are controlled by a microprocessor and extensive software. The following explanations are intended to improve understanding of all proce- dures and to minimise the risk of mistakes.

TV channel identifier

The channel identifier is displayed for several seconds every time the channel is

changed or by pressing the ￿button.

The I indicates that a channel is received

even if no picture can be seen (e.g. radio).

The film symbol indicates a TV channel with the selected programme shown next to it and whether teletext is received. The current time, start time and end time of the current programme are shown on the next line provided these data are trans- mitted. The + in the third line stands for the programme selection from the main programme list. If the favourite list is selected, you will see the "apple" symbol at this point. This is followed by the set sound reproduction mode (depending on the direction of the symbolised sound waves, mono left, mono right or stereo can be set, the digit indicates the number of sound channels). The programme title is shown in the box on the right.

Radio channel indicator

The identifier for the set radio channel has the same configuration. A music note appears in the upper right-hand corner indicating a radio channel. Programme times and text are displayed only if the corresponding data are transmitted with

the signal.

Error message

"Bad or no signal" indicates that there is a fault in the reception system or in the re- ceiver settings or the transponder is not

transmitting. Instead of the I the channel

identifier shows a satellite antenna to- gether with the message "bad or no signal". Check the SAT-IF connection and the LNB configuration. As an aid, refer to

the list of service settings provided at the end of this User's Guide.

TV programme list

Press the ￿button to show the pro-

gramme list. A + for the main programme list or the "apple" symbol is indicated at the top left. The list can be changed by pressing the button again. Information relating to the received satellites, the polarisation, the symbol rate, scrambling, favourite or standard programme and the parental control is provided in the column below the symbol. The column on the left

contains information relating to the channel, the programme provider and whether
