5 Operating Instructions: Knowing your basic controls
To become acquainted with the operations and functions of your receiver, you should
learn how to use the control buttons on the Front Panel and the Remote Control.
The following segment is an introduction to features that you will most commonly use.
5.1 Switching
On Your Digital Receiver
Before you switch on your receiver please ensure the power lead is plugged into a
240V AC socket. Remember that as long as the digital receiver remains plugged into
a 240V supply, the receiver will be in constant “STANDBY”.
Switch on your receiver by pressing either the button on the remote control or the
button on the front panel. While the digital receiver is in normal viewing mode,
the green LED lights up. When not using the digital receiver, put your equipment in
the “STANDBY” mode by pressing either one of the / buttons again. When the
red “STANDBY” LED lights up, it indicates the digital receiver is in “STANDBY” mode.
The front panel will show current local time. When the digital receiver is in standby
mode, the power consumption is reduced by about 50%.
5.2 Information

about the program that you are currently watching.

button. Pressing
again will cause the program
synopsis to be revealed. Pressing
again will toggle the synopsis to the next program
information. To exit the synopsis, continue pressing
