Quick Start Guide
1. To play a DVD or CD, insert the disc into the DVD drive, press DVD to
switch to DVD mode, press PLAY or wait for the player to load the disc
automatically.
2. To play music, photos or video files on a SD card or memory stick, insert

switch to DVD mode, press LEFT or RIGHT to switch between the
“Audio”, “Photo”, “Video” folders and Subtracks, press UP or DOWN to
select the file you want to play, press ENTER or PLAY to start playing.
3. It is suggested that you use a roof top aerial when scanning for TV channels
for the first time, if any signal is detected, the channel information will be
saved on the TV, you may then switch back to the portable antenna supplied
and change your location to find the best place to receive the signal.
4. To search for Digital Freeview TV at the first time, press DVB to switch to
DVB (Freeview TV) mode, it will ask you to do the “First Time Installation”.
Follow the instructions to select “Country” and “OSD Language”, then start
the “Auto Scan”. Once the scan has finished, press CH+, CH- or EPG to
select channels. Press REV/RADIO to switch between Freeview TV and

6. To search for Analogue TV, press MODE on the remote and you should see
either “AUTO”, “PAL” or “SECAM” at the top right corner of the screen.
Pressing MENU repeatedly will move to “PRESET” and “AUTO
SEARCH” is selected, press RIGHT to start searching for channels.
7. Please note the included portable antenna may only be used in areas where
signal is very strong. There may be difficulties in receiving signal with the
portable antenna in some regions at present, this is due to the fact that
Freeview (www.freeview.co.uk) is yet to operate in full power in the UK.
The government aims to achieve a full switchover by 2012, which will
occur in stages, region by region between 2008 and 2012, at present the
quality of Freeview reception varies in different regions across the UK.
As mentioned on the Freeview website, only 73% of the UK population is
able to receive Freeview at present and only a small number of households
might be able to use a set top aerial at present. This only applies if you live
in an area with coverage close to a transmitter, but reception would still be
unreliable and they strongly recommend that you use a roof top aerial for
good reception.
The reception will be improving along with the progress of the Digital
Switchover Program. Reception may also be affected by various factors
such as how close you are to transmitters, tall buildings, thick walls,
ceilings and weather etc.
