While using the DVB-T receiver to the full there are great many keys to use in
different situations. Many of the menu screens displayed by the receiver have
reminders as to which keys do what, at the base of the screen. In addition, many
screens have further help available which is displayed when the [Info] key is
pressed, as prompted at the bottom right of the screen.
Pressing the [SOURCE] key at any time while watching television programmes
will select the receiver set between output the digital terrestrial television and VCR.
10.1. Changing Channels
You can select the channel you wish to watch in one of four ways - stepping
through the channel list, selection by number, from the on-screen channel list, and
using the electronic programme guide (EPG).
To move through the channel list, press the [P +] or [P -] keys on the remote
control. Pressing the [P +] key will select the channel next in the channel list.
Pressing the [P -] key will select the previous channel in the list.
Pressing the [P +] key when the last channel in the list is being viewed will select
the first channel. Similarly, pressing the [P -] key when the first channel is
displayed will select the last channel in the channel list.
You can also select the required channel using its channel list number. Channel
numbers are entered using the number keys on the remote control handset and
can be up to three digits long.
When you press a number key on there mote control, a small box appears in the
top left of the screen to show the entered number. After each digit is entered, the
receiver will wait up to two seconds for the next digit to be pressed until either
three digits have been entered or you do not press a digit in time. The channel
corresponding to the entered number in the box will then be selected.
Hint:
The channel list numbers are assigned by the broadcasters. Because not all
channels are broadcast free-to-air and stored by the receiver, the channel list numbers do
not run continuously. The fifteenth channel in the list, for example, may not be channel
number 15 but channel number 17.
Hint: If you enter a number which does not correspond to a stored channel, the next valid
channel number is selected instead. If you enter a number greater than the highest
numbered channel in the channel list, the receiver will select the last channel in the list.
10.1.1. Information Banner
Whenever you change channel, using the [P +] and [P -] keys or the number keys,
the receiver displays the channel picture along with an information banner at the
bottom of the screen. This will remain on the screen for approximately three
seconds. The information banner can also be displayed at any time while
