EVERYDAY OPERATION 2
While using the HDB60 receiver to the full there are
great many keys to use in different situations. Many
of the menu screens displayed by the receiver
have reminders as to which keys do what, at the
base of the screen. In addition, many screens have
further help available which is displayed when the
[i] key is pressed, as prompted at the bottom right
of the screen.
Providing your TV set SCART socket has switch
control, pressing the [TV/DTV] key at any time while
watching television programmes will switch the TV
set between displaying the digital terrestrial
television programme and its normal analogue
television reception.
CHA GI G CHA ELS
You can select the channel you wish to watch in one
of four ways - stepping through the channel list,
selection by number, from the on-screen channel
list, and using the electronic programme guide
(EPG).
To move through the channel list, press the [P+] or
[P-] keys on the remote control. Pressing the [P+]
key will select the channel next in the channel list.
Pressing the [P-] key will select the previous channel
in the list.
Pressing the [P+] key when the last channel in the
list is being viewed will select the first channel.
Similarly, pressing the [P-] key when the first
channel is displayed will select the last channel in
the channel list.
You can also select the required channel using its
channel list number. Channel numbers are entered
using the number keys on the remote control
handset and can be up to three digits long.
Hint
The channel list numbers are assigned by the
broadcasters. Because not all channels are
broadcast free-to-air and stored by the receiver,
the channel list numbers do not run
continuously. The fifteenth channel in the list,
for example, may not be channel number 15 but
channel number 17.
When you press a number key on the remote
control, a small box appears in the top left of the
screen to show the entered number. After each digit
is entered, the receiver will wait up to two seconds
for the next digit to be pressed until either three digits
have been entered or you do not press a digit in time.
The channel corresponding to the entered number
in the box will then be selected.
Hint
If you enter a number which does not
correspond to a stored channel, the next valid
channel number is selected instead. If you enter
a number greater than the highest numbered
channel in the channel list, the receiver will
select the last channel in the list.
Information Banner
Whenever you change channel, using the [P+] and
[P-] keys or the number keys, the receiver displays
the channel picture along with an information banner
at the bottom of the screen. This will remain on the
screen for approximately three seconds. The
information banner can also be displayed at any
time while watching TV by pressing the [i] key on the
remote control. Pressing the [i] key again removes
the banner.
Hint
Not all channels broadcast the programme
data. If the name and times of the programme
is not available then 'Not available' is displayed
in the information banner.
The information banner gives a number of facts on
the channel selected and the programmes on it. The
name of the channel is displayed, along with its
channel list number and an indication of the strength
of the signal received on this tuning channel.
The name and the start and finish time of the
programme currently showing on the selected
channel are given, and the current time.
