7 Basic operation
Dear customer,
The following section begins by covering basic operation as well as recurrent operating steps for the device. This should make it easier to read the operating manual, as it avoids the repeated description of identical steps at each individual stage.
If a function or setting for the device has to be different from the basic operation, the difference in operation is described in detail at the relevant point in the operating manual.
The so-called "On Screen Display" on your device will be used. This simplifies operation of the television since the buttons on the remote control can take on different functions. This makes it possible to reduce the number of buttons.
In this On Screen Display (OSD for short) the selected functions or settings are highlighted.
Furthermore, you will see a line at the bottom edge of the screen in which the various buttons on the remote control are shown with their current functions.
In this manual the terms shown in the OSD as well as the buttons to be pressed are distinguished from the rest of the text by means of the print format used.
Warning - indicates an important note which you absolutely should observe in order to avoid problems with the device, loss of data or unwanted operation.
Tip - indicates a note about the function described as well as other functions associated with it and any others to be observed with reference to the respective point in the operating manual.
7.1 Switching the device on/off
When the device is on standby, you can switch it on by pressing the On/Standby button on the remote control/device.
When operating normally you can switch the device to standby mode by pressing the On/Standby button.
When switching the device on and off, note Section 7.1 of the operating manual as well.
7.2 Calling up the main menu and navigating through the menus /functions
The following example shows how to reach the main menu and call up a submenu. The objective of the example is to call up the Picture Settings menu.
Press the Menu button. The main menu appears on the screen.
Select the Settings menu item by moving the highlight over this item using the arrow keys.
Press the OK button to open the Settings menu.
Use the up/down arrow keys to highlight the Picture Settings item.
Then press the OK button to open the Picture Settings menu.
You can also highlight the individual menu items in the same way as you highlight an item in a submenu to open it and alter the respective settings.
The menu items in some menus have to be highlighted by moving sideways. This is done by pressing the right/left arrow keys.
By pressing the up/down arrow keys, it is possible to move the highlight from line to line and to move upwards and downwards page by page using the page up/down buttons.
You will see the so-called menu path in the uppermost line of the menu. This shows you the menu you are currently in and the path you took to reach this menu. In the example shown, this is Main menu > Settings > Picture settings. The menu path is also shown throughout the operating manual and shows you how you can reach the respective menu with the settings described.
If the blue function key with Help is displayed on the bottom line on the screen, a Help page can be displayed by pressing this button, and hidden by pressing it again.
7.3 Accepting settings / Exiting menus and functions
In some menus and functions the changes made must be accepted manually in order to save them permanently. If this does not happen, the function or the values that existed before the change was made will be reset automatically on exiting the menu.
If an Accept field or the green function key with Accept is displayed in the bottom line of the screen, you can see that the changes made must be saved manually to be accepted.
By highlighting Accept using the right/left arrow keys and confirming with the OK button, or by pressing the green function key Accept, the changes are saved and you move back up to the next menu up.
Alternatively:
Press the Back key. You are now asked whether the changes made should be accepted.
Use the right/left arrow keys to highlight Yes or No and confirm using the OK button. According to your selection the changes are now saved or rejected and you return to the next menu level up.
Alternatively:
To exit the menu immediately, press the Menu button. In this case the settings that need to be saved manually will be reset.
If the green function key with Accept is not displayed on the bottom line of the screen, the changes are saved automatically on exiting the menu.
7.4 Changing a setting
You can create settings using the arrow selection method, the selection list, by entering numbers and by using the virtual keyboard. The device specifies the method that can be used to change a highlighted setting. This is evident on account of the following displayed symbols:
| - | <> | Arrow selection method (Section 7.4.1)Arrows are shown on the left or right edge of the highlight. |
| - | 💡 | Selection list (Section 7.4.2)The symbol is shown on the right edge of the highlight. |
| - | ???? | Entering numbers (Section 7.4.3) |
| - | 💡 | Virtual keyboard (Section 7.4.4)The symbol is shown on the right edge of the highlight. |
7.4.1 Arrow selection method
If « is shown on the left and » on the right next to the set value, you can alter this using the left/right arrow keys.
7.4.2 Selection list
If ⏻ is shown on the right next to the set value, the value can be changed using the selection list.
Press the OK button to open the selection list.
Highlight the setting you want using the up/down arrow keys.
By pressing the up/down arrow keys, it is possible to move the highlight from line to line and to move upwards and downwards page by page using the page up/down buttons.
Confirm by pressing the OK button. The selection list closes again and the selected setting is shown in the menu.
7.4.3 Entering numbers
Use the numeric key pad to enter the new setting you require if a question mark ???? or a numeric value 12109 or _0 is displayed in the highlight.
Note the number of digits used in the entry as there must always be the same number used. This means that if a five-digit value is required, for example "10600", but you only wish to set a four-digit value, for example "9750", then you must enter a "0" at the beginning for every unused position. Therefore, in this example, it would be necessary to enter "09750".
7.4.4 Virtual keyboard
If ♂ is shown on the right next to the set value, the value can be changed using the selection list. You have three different keyboard options when using this data entry method.
You can switch the keyboard layout between the so-called QWERTY keyboard and the alphabetic keyboard, while an SMS keyboard can also be used at any time.
The functionality of the QWERTY keyboard is identical to that of the alphabetic keyboard. They only differ in terms of the arrangement of the various letters, numbers, characters and symbols.
Press the OK button to open the virtual keyboard.
The keyboard now appears in alphabetic form.
Press the Option button to toggle between the QWERTY keyboard and the alphabetic keyboard.
You can now enter the term you want as follows.
| Arrow keys: | Moves the highlight over the keys of the virtual keyboard. |
| OK: | The highlighted character is added to the end of the term, or the highlighted function is executed. |
| / Yellow function key: | The keyboard switches between upper case/lower case. |
| / Red function key: | Pressing/holding down deletes the character in front of the orange highlight/the entire entry. |
| / Green function key: | The entered term is accepted. |
| / Blue function key: | The keyboard switches to the alternative characters. |
| Moving the blue highlight within the term. |
The SMS keyboard is operated using the numeric keypad on both the alphabetical and the QWERTY keyboard and can be used at any time. The colored buttons thus incorporate the functions described above.
Press one of the 0 - 9 number keys to select the various letters, numbers, characters and symbols. After pressing a numeric pad key once, the first letter in the corresponding row is highlighted.
Every time the same numeric pad key is pressed, the highlight moves one field to the right. Press until you reach the character you want. This will be added to the entered term after a short delay.
The various numeric pad keys are assigned the following displayed letters, numbers, characters and symbols.
| 0: | . @ 0 , ! ? : ; ( ) \ / ' < > |
| 1: | - 1 ÷ = # & " " |
| 2: | a b c 2 ä a ä á á á ç | |
| 3: | d e f 3 ö é é |
| 4: | g h i 4 ğ i l í |
| 5: | j k l 5 Š r | |
| 6: | m n o 6 ö ó ñ ñ ñ ø ō |
| 7: | p q r s 7 β és ş š ř |
| 8: | t u v 8 ü ü t' t ū ú |
| 9: | w x y z 9 ž ž ý ž |
Once you have reached the field you want with the highlight, you can then begin selecting the next character immediately since, in this case, the character is directly added to the term.
If you wish to continue directly selecting a character from the same numeric pad, you can add the previously highlighted character to the term by pressing the right arrow key.
7.5 Option selection
In some menus and operating modes (e.g. TV mode, music/images playback etc.), you have the option of calling up additional functions and options via the options selection function.
By pressing the Option button you open the Option selection menu in the lower right corner of the screen.
In this example the Option selection menu for the channel list is shown.
Every additional press of the Option button moves the highlight down one line at a time.
Some options are selected directly in this window. Other options for a number of subordinate selection options are located in the options groups. Highlighting one of these option groups automatically opens another window on the left.
You can use the up/down arrow keys within the options group to highlight one of the options listed there.
By pressing the up/down arrow keys, it is possible to move the highlight from line to line and to move upwards and downwards page by page using the page up/down buttons.
The highlighted option is selected by pressing the OK button and you exit the option selection area.
If you do not want to select an option or wish to leave the Options selection area without making any changes, simply press the Option button until it is hidden.
