Press the PREVIOUS key twice to go two menu levels up.
Press the Digital TV Settings softkey (see Fig. 2-51).
If the equalizer should get into an instable state (e.g. if the signal was removed), press the

The echo pattern is the amplitude of the channel impulse response. The equalizer in contrast estimates
the inverse of the channel response which is required to remove the channel's influence from the
measurement signal.
