I Safety and environmental instructions

Your receiver has been manufactured to meet the appropriate safety standards, but the instructions below should be followed to operate it safely:

• Before connecting the receiver to the mains, check that the mains supply voltage corresponds to the voltage printed on the rear of the receiver. If the mains voltage is different, consult the dealer.
• The receiver does not contain any user-serviceable parts. All maintenance work must be carried out by qualified personnel.
• If you disconnect the receiver from the mains, make sure to unplug it from the wall socket and not just from the AC socket at the back of the unit. Children could seriously injure themselves, as the free end of the cable is still alive.
• Unplug the receiver during lightning storms.
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this equipment to rain or moisture.
• The receiver should be placed on a firm surface, and the ventilation openings must not be covered with items, such as newspapers, table clothes, curtains, etc.

6 SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL INSTRUCTIONS

• Do not install the receiver near any heat sources such as radiators, stoves or other apparatus that produce heat. Protect it from direct sunlight.
• When installing the receiver, ensure there is a gap of approximately 2.5cm around the receiver to enable air to circulate freely and prevent overheating.
• Leave accessible the mains connector at the back of the unit in case emergency shutdown is required.
• Do not place any combustible objects on the receiver (candles, etc.).
• No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the unit. The receiver shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing. Should this happen, disconnect your receiver from the mains and consult your dealer.
• Make sure that children do not place any foreign objects in any of the openings.
• For cleaning, use a soft, damp (not wet) cloth. Never use any abrasive cloth and aerosol cleaners.

Experiencing difficulty operating your digital receiver? Check the following points first!

Problem	Possible cause	Action
No picture, no sound and no front panel indication.	Receiver is not plugged into the mains.	Check mains connection and press the Standby button on the front of the receiver.
No picture, no sound, but the front panel red LED is on.	Your receiver is in Standby mode.	Press either <P> or <P> button or any number button to bring the receiver out of standby.
No picture, no sound but the front panel the left hand LED is on.	You are viewing standard analogue television. The SCART connection to the TV is faulty or loose. Your TV has not selected the correct AV/EXT channel.	Press the <TV/STB> button on your remote. Check SCART TV connection, making sure cables are firmly pushed into the sockets. Try manually selecting the AV/EXT channel on your TV.
The remote does not operate.	A timer is running, the receiver is locked, the front LEDs are either Green / Red or Orange / Red The remote control batteries have been inserted incorrectly or are dead. You are not aiming your remote control at the receiver.	Press the “TIMER” and the “0” buttons successively to cancel the TIMER and unlock the receiver. Check the condition of the batteries and replace if necessary, according to instructions earlier in this manual. Make sure you aim the remote at the receiver and not at the TV.
You cannot find all the channels you think should be available.	The signal to your aerial may be weak. Your aerial may need adjusting or your local transmitter may not be working.	Try retuning your receiver, following the relevant steps in paragraph 7.3.2. If you are still missing channels, your aerial may need adjusting. Call your local dealer.
You sometimes see a squared pattern on the screen, your picture is “freezing” or a picture showing a TV with a noisy pattern.	There could be a transmission problem. Your aerial may have been moved, for example by severe weather. Your aerial connection has become loose or disconnected.	This normally is only a temporary situation and should correct itself. Check signal quality and if necessary re-align your aerial. Check all aerial connections and make sure they are all firmly pushed into sockets.

36 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Problem	Possible cause	Action
You cannot select all of the channels and the P+/- or Arrow up/down buttons do not always work.	Some channels have been selected as favourites and the favourites mode is on.	Use the <FAV> button to select another Favourite list. Use the All TV Channel list to see all available TV channels.
You cannot access a particular channel, even using the number buttons.	The parental lock has been activated on this channel and an OSD message prompts you for your PIN code.	Enter your parental code to access the channel or unlock the channel. See paragraph 7.7 for more details.
You have forgotten your PIN code.		When prompted for your PIN code, enter the Master PIN code. This will allow you to proceed as well as reset the PIN code to the default PIN code of the receiver (default is 1234). The Master PIN Code is 0711. Note: Keep this code secret to prevent your children from using it.
I set the timer but it did not record what I wanted.	The video was set incorrectly.	Make sure that your video is set for the same time as your digital receiver. Alternatively use one of the Easy Record options to control automatically your VCR (see paragraph 9.2)
The order of my channels has changed.	They have been re-arranged as described in paragraph 7.3.1.1.	Refer to this section to change the order again.
The on-screen displays are not as sharp as expected.	If you have connected using SCART and you have an RGB-capable TV, one of the receiver settings could be wrong. You have connected the receiver TV SCART to a SCART socket of your TV set which is not RGB-capable	Refer to paragraph 7.2.3.1 and modify the “Video Output” setting to RGB. Check if the TV SCART socket of the TV is RGB-capable. If not refer to the user manual of your TV to change the SCART connection to your TV.
The picture on some channels seems to have been stretched or squashed.	The broadcast is probably in wide-screen and the receiver settings may not be correct.	Check the receiver “Screen format” option setting, following the information in paragraph 7.2.3.1. If you have a wide-screen TV, you may also need to check the settings on your TV.
