This section explains how to get the most out of your Plaza HD•S2 receiver.

USING THE FAVOURITES LISTS

The favourites lists make it easier for you to choose the channel that you want to watch, by limiting the on-screen list to just a few channels, such as those of a particular type, or that one member of the family watches the most.

The Plaza HD•S2 provides eight favourites lists, and it only takes a short time to set up the lists before they can be used. First, display the channel list, by pressing the button.

Highlight the channel that you want to include in a favourites

list, and press the button to show the eight lists available. Highlight the list that you want to include the channel in and press to add the channel to that list (a star will appear next to it). You can add a channel to as many lists as you like. Channels can be removed from favourites lists by highlighting a list and pressing the button again. Press to store the changes to the lists, or

press to cancel.

You can rename the favourites lists to suit their contents (for example, the type of channels in the list, or the name of person who has chosen them). With the list highlighted, press the red button and enter the name that you want for that list using the on-screen keyboard.

Once favourites lists have had channels assigned to them, they can be used in three ways.
