TurboTune™
The TurboTune feature provides access to nine of your preferred channels on top of the current video.
The TurboTune panel is displayed by pressing the remote control
key while watching video as long as there are no messages
prompting you to press for some other purpose. TurboTune
is not accessible from the front panel key. The TurboTune
panel displays nine channel tags. These channels can be specified
via the TurboTune button on the SETUP MENU. The header area of
the panel displays the title of the program currently airing on the
highlighted channel tag. You can choose one of the nine by moving
the highlight over the desired channel and pressing
. A
shortcut to moving the highlight is to press the remote control
numbers that corresponds with the on-screen position of the desired
channel. In the example on the right, press 7 for CNN.
AlphaTune™
AlphaTune enables you to tune to a channel by spelling a channel’s call sign rather than by number. To
enter the AlphaTune mode, you must first press the
key located on the lower right on the
keypad. The symbol appears on the screen. You can now enter the numbers and letters
(located above each of the number keys) to spell the desired channel call sign. For example, to tune to
ESPN, press
. All special symbols (i.e., &, /, +, !, etc.) are located on the key. As
soon as the receiver can determine which channel you are seeking, it will tune to it automatically. No
additional keys need to be entered. If the channel call sign is fewer than four letters, you may need to
press
to indicate that you are finished. If more than one channel shares the same set of key (i.e.,
“CNN” and “COM”, both using ), the next matching occurrence is used. If that was not the
channel you wanted, just press to find the next occurrence of that key sequence. It
is important that you enter the channel call sign exactly. With experience, you will become more
familiar with the channel name abbreviations that are used.
