4 Receiver settings
The first time installation procedure (chapter 3) will allow the receiver to be used with its basic functions.
However the receiver offers many more advanced features and options that are illustrated in the following
sections.
4.1 Password
To access settings and events locked by the Parental Control (par. 4.2), a password has to be entered. The
password is defined by the end-user at the first time installation (cap. 3), but it can be changed by pressing
MENU and selecting the Setup - Parental Lock.
CAUTION
If you forget your personal password, you have to reset the device by using Tools - Load Factory Default menu.
4.2 Parental Control
The Parental Control protects children by the viewing of sensitive contents. When an event is broadcasted
with a parental rating equal or higher than the parental lock level defined on receiver menu, a system
message will notify that the channel is locked. To see that channel, you have to enter the password (par.
4.1).
The factory set level is Age=18 and it can be changed by the user on Setup - Parental Lock - Channel
Lock menu.
4.3 Advanced menu protection (Hotel Function)
The Hotel Function is a hidden utility, which consists in an advanced protection of the receiver. It allows to
enter the main menu only by typing a password.
For enabling that function, press MENU and any numeric button of remote control, then input the system
password (par. 4.1) or the special PIN 3327. For disabling it, press MENU and type the system password
(par. 4.1) or the special PIN 3327.
4.4 Channel scanning and updating
The first time guided installation procedure runs a channel scan and saves any channels available at that
time. However later scans may become necessary if, for instance, a new channel becomes available or
when an existing channel changes frequency.
4.4.1 Channel scanning
To access the channel scan function from the viewing mode, press MENU on the remote control to open the
main menu, select Installation and then go to one of the following submenu:
1. Auto Scan: an automatic scan of all digital terrestrial channels through whole frequency range. Define
the Scan Mode parameter (All for all channels or Free for Free to air) and the type of Action (Update or
Reinstall). Press OK on Search to start the scan.
CAUTION
When a reinstallation is run, the previous existing channel list will be lost.
2. Channel Scan (for expert users): set all needed parameters displayed on video related to the interested
RF channel, then select Search and press OK.
4.4.2 Standby channel updating
In standby mode, this receiver is set to search daily for new available channels, at the exact Time defined on
Tools - Automatic Upgrade Setting - Automatic Channel List Update menu. Through this menu, it’s
possible to modify the searching Time or to disable the In Standby Mode option.
4.5 Clock setting
In viewing mode, press MENU and go to Setup - Region and Time menu. These kind of settings are
available under GMT Usage item:
Off: the user manually sets date and time.
By Region: the receiver will automatically set the time according to the selected Region. In addition, set
properly the Summer Time option (Off, On).
User Define: the receiver will automatically set the time according to Greenwich Mean Time offset (GMT
Offset parameter).
CAUTION
Some digital terrestrial services transmit information, which is strictly linked to a correct time setting of the receiver. In
addition, under GMT usage, the receiver will follow the time data transmitted by the broadcaster.
