Applying the OSD menu

Via the OSD menu you are enabled to carry out settings on the device using your RC unit.

Note: Also observe the information and help messages displayed on the screen.

This is how you use the on-screen display functionality:

OSD navigation and selection of menu items. The selected menu item is framed with colour.

Confirm your selection. The selected menu item is now activated or executed.

Hide the OSD or exit an activated menu.

The remote control's red, green, yellow and blue keys are assigned different functionalities, dependent on the currently selected menu.

If a button of the OSD shows red, green, yellow or blue colour, the respective function is triggered by pressing the button of the same colour on the remote control.

Notes are displayed on the lower screen edge of the OSD, on which buttons to use for specifying the settings of the currently activated menu.

Initial installation

You are presented with the initial installation menu. This menu is displayed only at first start of the device or when you have returned to factory settings to support you in installing your set-top box.

3. Specify your preferred frequencies and channels. Go to Start Scan and confirm your selection.

The device then initiates an automatic channel search.

1. Follow the instructions as displayed on the screen until initial installation is completed, the device then changes to TV operation.

Channel search

For a start we recommend to have an automatic search done as this scan mode normally detects all channels available. The expert scan mode enables the specific search for an individual channel. This in particular makes sense if you only want to include one individual channel into your channel list and you know the information on the channel and frequency.

In the course of scanning already detected channels are added to a list, two displays informing you on signal strength and quality.

Note: You may cancel scanning at any time by pressing ⒷExit.

Automatic channel search

Search for Channels > Automatic Search

Note: If feasible at all, leave the scanning values unchanged, as the defaulted values generally guarantee the detection of all channels.

1. Choose those channels to be searched for (recommended: All).

Note: We generally advise you to search for all channels and to not alter the defaulted values.

1. Select Start Scan and confirm your selection.

Following the scanning procedure a dialog informs you on the completion of the search.

1. Specify whether the found channels should add to the current channel list or replace the former list or whether you want the newly detected channels to be discarded. Confirm your selection.

2. Pressing Exit once makes you quit the scan menu and return to the overview. The repeated activation hides the OSD.

Note: If no channels were found at all check the antenna cable for correct connection.

Expert scan mode

Search for Channels > Manual Search

1. Implement all required settings.

The numerical buttons enable for input of the frequency. In addition, you can preselect the channels to be searched for by activating the Channels to search for function (e.g. for all channels Free to air).

1. Then select Start Scan and and confirm your selection.

TV operation

Following the scanning procedure a dialog informs you on the completion of the search.

1. Specify whether the found channels should add to the current channel list or replace the former list or whether you want the newly detected channels to be discarded.
2. Pressing Exit once makes you quit the scan menu and return to the overview. The repeated activation hides the OSD.

TV operation

Adjusting the antenna

On principle, an antenna being stationed nearby a window will effect the most optimal reception. Find the ideal position for your antenna:

Technical Information > Channel Information

You are displayed the current channel's channel information.

1. Try out different positions of your antenna, until the display for Signal Quality shows its maximum value (100%) or some value similarly high.

Note: Please mind that depending on your type of antenna the antenna's orientation may be of importance as well. If this is the case, swing your antenna around to see whether this influences the quality of the signal. Refer to your antenna's operating instructions to find out if your device owns omnidirectional qualities.

1. Afterwards, use the channel buttons ⬤ to switch to diverse channels. Further adjust your antenna's position, if appropriate.

2. Feeling content with the reception quality set, press Exit to hide the channel information and complete the process.
