WARNING !!!
Ferguson cable receivers support recording on external hard disk drives (HDDs) and
flash memories (pendrives). In all instances, the correct operation of the recording
function depends on the type of connected memory You must read the following
limitations.
REMEMBER:
1. In order to use an external USB memory, the memory must support the USB
2.0 standard. To ensure stable recording and playback, you must use a
memory with a recording speed of 9.0 MB/s or greater. Slo er hard disk
drives and flash memories may not function properly, have problems ith
recording (image jitter), or not function at all!!!
2. Only disks ith one basic NTFS or FAT32 partition ( e recommend using the
NTFS format) ill function properly. If you do not have such a format, prepare
the disk on your computer before connecting it to the receiver.
3. Highly fragmented or used memories may also not operate smoothly or
correctly.
4. External hard disk drives should be autonomously po ered, since the built-in
USB port is unable to provide sufficient po er.
CAUTION
1. Under no circumstances should you disconnect the USB device from the
receiver during recording or playback. Disconnecting during operation may
cause damage to the receiver and/or flash memory, and to the recorded data.
2. Do not touch the orking device (and in particular the USB connector) ith
et hands. Risk of electric shock and permanent damage to the receiver!

2. Connect the DMI to the receiver out and the television in.
Connection by means of an DMI cable allows you to obtain the highest image quality.
If you have an amplifier with
an DMI out and in, which
supports sound sent over
DMI, connect the devices
by two DMI cables. As in
the following figure: one
cable to the amplifier,
and the other from the
amplifier to the television
set.

12. System settings
12.1 Language
This menu is used to define the language in which the receiver's menu is displayed. The
preferred and second language options refer to audio soundtracks. If a given channel supports
more than one audio soundtrack, the receiver will y default search for soundtracks in the
selected languages in this order. The language of su titled – as in the case of audio
soundtracks, this determines the language of su titles to e used, provided that such su titles
are availa le and active. Teletext - defines the character coding page for the teletext.
12.2 TV System
This menu is used to set the image parameters. A ove all, you should determine the resolution
of the image sent over the HDMI connection. Select the highest possi le resolution supported y
your HD television set in order to o tain the est image quality. The following resolutions are
availa le: 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p (50Hz), 720p (60Hz), 1080i (50Hz), 1080i (60Hz),
1080p (50Hz), 1080p (60Hz). If you select an unsupported resolution, your image will e lost or
ecome illegi le – you can always use the OPT key to return to the asic resolution, i.e. 576i.
Please keep in mind that you can also change the resolution at any time y means of the
FORMAT utton.
If you are using a component ca le connection, then for the majority of television sets we
recommend a resolution of 720p (50Hz) or 720p (60Hz), depending on your television set, and
the YUV video out. Note: if you change the video out to RGB, no video signal will e output over
the component connection!
If you are using a SCART connection, then for the majority of older television sets we
recommend setting the video out to YUV. If your television supports RGB, then activate this
option in order to o tain etter image quality over the SCART connection.
Additionally, in this menu you can choose the format in which the receiver will send sound over
the digital connections. We recommend using LPCM in order to also receive a stereophonic
signal over the digital connections.
