Operating the Digital Receiver
Once all of the above settings have been made, your receiver will be ready for use.
NOTE:
Digital television broadcasting involves the transmission and processing of large
quantities of data. Switching from one channel to another thus takes a bit longer
than in the case of analog television broadcasting.
An hourglass or the text message “Please wait” will appear onscreen during this
waiting period.
8.1
Switching On the Receiver
•
Press the ON/OFF-switch on the receiver’s front panel.
•
Press the ON/OFF-key on the remote control.
8.2 Channel
Selection
•
Use the numerical keys to enter the number of the desired channel (cf. also
Section 8.3.1, below, regarding procedures for selecting channels from a list).
NOTE:
Although channel numbers invariably have 3 digits, e.g., 001, those with only one
or two significant digits may be entered as single-digit or dual-digit numbers, e.g., 1
or 13. The receiver will have tuned in the selected channel after a delay of about
3 seconds.
•
Use the
p
or
q
keys to select the next or preceding channel, respectively.
•
Pressing the LAST-key will return you to the last channel viewed.
Each time you change the channel, the new channel number, date, day of the
week, time of day, and the message “New channel change” will be displayed
onscreen for a few seconds.
If the new channel’s downlink frequency is the same as that of the current channel,
the new channel will be tuned in and the associated data displayed onscreen.
However, if its downlink frequency differs from that of the current channel, the
message “RF signal tuning” will appear onscreen while the new channel is being
tuned in.
If the message “No signal“ appears in this menu, then the channel chosen cannot
be received by your satellite antenna.
These onscreen messages will be deleted after about 3 seconds have elapsed or
whenever the EXIT-key is pressed
This menu displays the channel number and channel-tuning data, along with the
current date, day of the week, and time of day.
