Switch off and withdraw the mains plug before making or changing connections. DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment. DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment. DO route the mains lead so that it is not likely to be walked on, crushed, chafed, or subjected to excessive wear and tear or heat. ************** DON'T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages. DON'T obstruct the ventilation openings of the equipment with items such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc. Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment. DON'T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to dripping or splashing, or objects filled with liquids, such as vases, to be placed on the equipment. DON'T place hot objects or naked flame sources such as lighted candles or nightlights on, or close to equipment. High temperatures can melt plastic and lead to fires. DON'T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws - to ensure complete safety always fit the manufacturer's approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.

6.2. MESSAGES

When the box receives no signal (e.g. the antenna cable is disconnected), NO SIGNAL message is seen on the screen.
When there is no channel stored in the box, Timer Menu, Channel Table Menus are not accessible. Channel navigation is not allowed. Therefore, trying to enter these menus or do channel navigation will display a warning message on the screen.

6.3. CHANNEL NAVIGATION

There are two ways to navigate through the channels: 1. Pressing P+/P- keys will help you to go to the next or the previous channel in the list. 2. Pressing a number key will activate a small digit entry window on the left upper corner of the screen. After a digit is entered, the box will wait for 2 seconds till you enter another digit. If no digit is entered during these 2 seconds, then the box will switch to the entered number channel. If a number that is greater than the maximum number of channels is entered, the box will switch automatically to the last channel. Each time the box switches to the desired channel, an information window is displayed on the lower part of the screen. The small bar on top right of the banner indicates the current signal quality. On this channel info window there are:
Current event name next event name, and their start and end times. Time Channel number Name of the channel
An icon indicating that the channel is set as favourite (if the channel is not set as favourite the field is left empty) TV / Radio icon
When switching to a locked channel, lock code is requested via a window as shown in the picture. Only after the correct code is entered, it is allowed to access to this channel. To skip this channel, P+/P- cursor keys must be used.

6.4. VOLUME CONTROL

The volume level of the sound from the receiver can be altered with the [V+] and [V-] keys on the remote control handset. Pressing either key displays a bar graph of the sound volume on the TV screen.The volume level selected will remain set, even when the receiver is turned off and on again, until it is altered with the [V+] and [V-] keys. Please note, that if you decrease the normal volume, the VCR output volume will also be decreased. This will affect any recording that you are making from your set-top box. The audio volume adjustment for the receiver is independent of the volume control on your TV set. Be careful that both volume controls are kept within reasonable levels so that when switching from analogue to digital television viewing, or when first turning on your TV set, the sound level is not suddenly very high. You can silence the sound from the receiver by pressing the [MUTE] key. The sound remains muted until the [MUTE] key is pressed again, the [V+] or [V-] keys are pressed, or until the receiver is turned off and on again.While the sound is muted in this way, the mute symbol is displayed in the top left of the TV screen. The symbol is removed after 3 seconds, but the sound will remain muted until the [MUTE] key is pressed for the second time,and the mute symbol will display for 3 seconds.

6.5. DIGITAL TELETEXT

Many digital terrestrial television channels not only broadcast pictures and sound for programmes but also pages of information on the programmes, the weather, news and many other topics. This digital teletext can be displayed by the receiver.Some channels are entirely given over to digital teletext and carry no normal TV programme at all. These dedicated digital teletext channels will not give a quarter-screen image in the EPG or the Channel List screen. When such a channel is selected, after a brief pause, they will usually display the opening page of information automatically. Other channels have digital teletext pages broadcast alongside the television programme and often include a reduced-size broadcast picture within digital teletext pages. These usually require the [TEXT] button to be pressed to activate the digital teletext pages.In both cases, moving through the different pages of information is accomplished in a variety of ways, dependent on the individual broadcasters, but including use of the 5/6 and 3/4 and [SELECT] keys to select items from on-screen menus, and the coloured keys to jump directly to particular pages. You can exit any digital teletext channel by changing channel in any of the normal ways. You can leave the digital teletext function of a combined digital teletext/programme channel, to return to normal television viewing of that channel, by pressing the [TEXT] key.Calling for the information banner or any menu on-screen stops the receiver from displaying the digital teletext pages and they are temporarily replaced by a blank picture while the banner or menu is displayed.Digital teletext cannot be accessed when the Subtitles are enabled

6.6. WIDESCREEN

TV sets are available with screens of the standard (4:3) format and widescreen (16:9) format. When you first installed your receiver you specified the format of the connected TV (this can now be altered if necessary; see Configuration)Digital terrestrial television broadcasts are also made in both standard and widescreen formats. In particular, films and dramas tend to be broadcast in widescreen format to closer emulate the cinema experience, but even some news bulletins are widescreen. To help get the most from both TV set and programme when a widescreen film is watched on a standard TV, or a standard broadcast is viewed on a widescreen set, the receiver includes the [WIDE] key.So long as the receiver has been correctly set up for the TV set connected, a widescreen programme will always be displayed correctly on a widescreen set, and a standard format programme will correctly fill the screen of a standard format TV. With a widescreen TV set displaying a standard format programme the [WIDE] key switches between displaying the picture with black bars down the sides, and enlarging the picture so that it fills the whole width of the screen but the top and bottom are cropped off.With a standard format TV displaying a widescreen programme, the [WIDE] key switches between displaying the picture with black bars at the top and bottom of the screen, and filling the whole height of the screen but cropping the sides off according to instructions broadcast with the programme (called 'pan and scan').The effect of the [WIDE] key on the picture display is cancelled by pressing [WIDE] again, changing channel or turning the receiver to standby.

6.7. SUBTITLE

Subtitle key Shows/hides subtitles of channel. When the subtitle key is pressed,subtitle ON/OFF message is displayed.

6.8. TV / DTV KEY

If there is no VCR or DVR connected to the STB, the TV/DTV button is used to toggle between TV and STB modes. When the STB is in TV mode, the TV SCART is not active and the TV operates normally in analogue mode. When the STB is in DTV mode the SCART is active and the TV is switched to AV/RGB mode. When there is no menu on the screen, pressing the TV/DVT button will manually toggle the STB between TV and VCR mode. In VCR mode the STB will display the output of the VCR. In TV mode the STB will display its own output. If the STB mode is not changed by pressing the TV/DTV button the SCART mode will be automatically detected. (For example if a dvd player is connected to VCR SCART and powered on , then the set top box will immediately switch to VCR mode. The set top box will switch to TV mode if dvd player is switched off )
