5. Wait for Windows Media Center to scan for a TV signal. If an

image from the set-top box is displayed (this may just be ‘snow’ or

a test image if the set-top box has not been fully configured yet)

select Next to continue to the remote control section.

If the set-top box is not detected, select Scan Again. If the set-top

box is still not detected, check the connections.

6. Once the set-top box has been detected, you may configure the

Smart TV32 remote control to change channels on the set-top box.

Click on Next and follow the on-screen instructions.

This function is handled by Windows Media Center, and is sep-

arate from any programmable functions provided by the remote

control (see page 6).

Using cable or aerial reception

If you have not attached a set-top box, you may use a signal from an

aerial or cable network with the TV tuners on the underside of the

Smart TV32.

1. When given the choice of TV signals, select Cable or Antenna (as

appropriate). 

2. If you selected 

Antenna, you will be given a choice of signal types

(analogue or digital). 

If you select 

Digital Terrestrial (DVB-T)

, Windows Media Center

will not process analogue signals (including FM radio). You may

use the 

TV and Video Capture

 section to view (and record) ana-

logue television signals.

3. Select Two in the 

How many Tuners Do you Want to Configure?

section and select Next.

4. Follow the on-screen instructions to scan for channels that match

the information you have entered. After a few minutes a list of dis-

covered channels should be visible. 

You may change the order of the channels, or remove

unneeded channels, after you have finished the first start proc-

ess. See Playback on page 10.

The Electronic Program Guide (EPG)

The Smart TV32 may connect to the Internet and retrieve an 

Elec-

tronic Program Guide (EPG) that lists the schedule for many of the

channels you may receive. You may use this guide to program

recordings and to plan your viewing. 

If you have an Internet connection, follow the instructions to activate

this option and retrieve the program guide for your area.

Optimise the Display

In order to provide the best image, you may configure the screen for

best performance. You may view a video that explains the settings

before starting. Windows Media Center allows you to choose the type

of display device (

Flat screen), the type of connection (VGA), the

screen ratio (

16:9)  and resolution (1280 x 720). Do not adjust the

display properties now, you may return to this section if the display

seems to be positioned incorrectly or the colours are distorted.

Set up Your Speakers

If you have installed additional speakers, you may configure them in

this section. You have the choice of using the two built-in speakers, or

connecting a surround sound setup with 6 or 8 speakers. This section

will allow you to test that the speakers are connected and configured

correctly.

The Windows Media Center Interface

With most functions, you can simply press a button on the remote

control and the related section will start. However, in some cases it

may be easier to use the Windows Media Center interface that

provides a list of activities.

Use the 

Up and Down buttons to select a section, then press OK to

select it. In each section you may select additional options until you

select the exact task you need.

After you have configured Windows Media Center, you may check

that the TV channels display correctly. Refer to the 

Playback section on

page 10 for information on viewing and changing TV channels.
