NOTE

•The language and country settings used in this operation are the settings you have already set while executing the Initial auto installation (Analogue). If you want to reconfigure the country setting, for instance after moving to another country, conduct “Auto Installation” from the Analogue Menu again.

•The services are stored according to the channel number information embedded in the stream (if available). If

If you would like to sort the order, it is possible to arrange it as explained in page 24.
