>Press the OK key, and the desired programme will be shown.

>Use the up/down arrow keys to move up or down the programme list one line at a time.

>Use the left/right arrow keys to move forward or back one page at a time.

6.2.4Selecting blocked programmes

If a programme is selected that is subject to parental lock, the words PIN Number will appear on the screen

>Use the numeric key pad to enter your PIN number.

The desired programme can now be viewed.

In order to make this function easy to use, the PIN number needs to be entered only once during an operational phase. The parental lock feature is only activated again next time the receiver is switched on.

6.2.5 Information (Info) Box

Every time the programme is changed, an info box will be displayed temporarily, showing the programme number and name. In addition, any programme features will be shown, e.g. TxT for video text, 16/9 for a 16/9 widescreen broadcast, A/B for various audio channels (e.g. movies with several language soundtracks, or various radio programmes), the Dolby sym-

bol for Dolby Digital broadcasts, or the symbol for sub-titles.

6.3 Reception of scrambled (encrypted) Programmes

Your receiver is equipped with a built-in VIACCESS decoding module. This enables you to

receive scrambled programmes in conjunction with an appropriate smart card. In order to receive such programmes, you must insert a VIACCESS smart card into the integrated card

reader, with the gold-coloured chip at the bottom, and facing in the direction in which it is being inserted, and push in carefully until resistance is felt.

6.4 Adjusting sound volume

You can adjust the volume of your receiver. This facilitates use of the receiver, as it means you have all important functions in one remote control, and will have to revert to the remote control of your TV set only very rarely. Whenever the receiver is switched on, the volume set- ting used last will be set again.

>Use the keys Volume + to increase the sound volume, and Volume - to reduce the volume.

>Press the key Sound on/Off to mute the sound. Repeated pressing of this key will restore the sound.

6.5 Selecting a different language

If a programme is broadcast in several languages, you can select a language as follows:

>Press the Language Selection key

The list of languages available will now be displayed on screen.

>Use the up/down arrow keys to select the desired language. Confirm by pressing the OK key.

Disable the menu display by pressing the Language Selection key again.

You can now listen to the programme in the selected language. If the programme is chan- ged, the receiver automatically reverts to the default language setting (see 5.3 Language

Selection). Your receiver also provides the facility to receive mono broadcasts. For mono transmissions, you can use the MONO1/MONO2 key to switch between the MONO1 and

MONO2 sound channels.
