THE LOCK PIN

Some of the Plaza HD•S2 menu functions can be locked to avoid accidental changes to the receiver’s setup, and you can lock particular channels to prevent some family members, such as children, from watching them.

To use a locked menu function or watch a locked channel, you need to enter the four-digit PIN that you set when you first installed the Plaza HD•S2. You can change the lock PIN, without re-installing the receiver, as explained later in this section.

If you have set up your receiver for a 16:9 Widescreen TV, the options are:

•Auto - the broadcaster chooses the best display format.

•Widescreen - a 4:3 broadcast is stretched to fill the 16:9 screen.

•Pillarbox – a 4:3 broadcast is shown unaltered with black bars on each side.

If you have set up your receiver for a 4:3 Traditional TV, the options are:

•Auto - the broadcaster chooses the best display format.

•Centre Cut-out - a 16:9 broadcast is cropped to show only the centre of the image.

•Letterbox - a 16:9 broadcast is shown unaltered with black bars above and below it.

If your TV is connected to the Plaza HD•S2’s TV SCART socket,

pressing the button switches the channel displayed on the television between the signal from the aerial (TV) and digital television from freesat (DTV). This button has no effect if your TV is connected to the receiver’s HDMI socket.

Pressing the button will take you through the three available options.

CHANGING THE CHANNEL LIST

The channel list contains all the freesat channels that the Plaza HD•S2 found when it was first installed, and may include some channels that you do not watch, do not want to include in the on- screen list, or do not want some members of your family to watch.
