To know the status of the receiver, check the power/ (on-off-standby) indicator as shown in the
screenshot below:

If the On/off/Standby indicator is red, this

means that the receiver is not active.

If the receiver stays on one channel for more than 4 hours, the receiver will go into standby mode and
the TV screen

turns black; but the on/off/standby indicator will still be green, this means that the receiver

is i

n stand-by mode. If that indicator is red, this means that the receiver is off, and needs to be turned on
by pressing the power button on the remote control to bring the receiver back-on, or turning off then on
the switch from the back, this will reboot the receiver and turns ON again displaying channel “1” from the
“Channels” menu.

Note: When the receiver is switched off and if turned on again, the channel goes back to “1”, so you
need to press the “OK” button and

scroll to the channel you want, it does not memorize the last channel

viewed when the receiver is off. This default setting might be changed in later firmware.

advanced settings for the receiver. To scroll through each item, use the up/down arrow keys, to
adjust the value,

use the left/right arrow keys located around the “OK” button.

the above

Composite/S-Video connections to revert the setting back and then reconnect

the HDMI or component cables again.

be NTSC, in other Europe/Middle East countries this needs to be set to.

screen fully, you can adjust this setting to one of the 3 available settings, (4:3, 16:9, Full

To connect the receiver to the network, 2 possible connections can be done:

the “Network” sub

-menu.
Scroll using the remote control to the right panel and move the arrow key to “DHCP” section,
and select “OK”. The menu will change to “manual”, then enter the manual ip address
settings manually and press the “Red” button to save settings, to cancel press the “Back”

button

, to switch back, press “Manual” again.

“Networking” section, and click on the “Network” sub

-menu Scroll using the remote control
to the right panel and move the arrow key to “Wired”, then press the “OK” button, the menu
will change wireless, and the receiver will start looking for “SSID” from the list. Once you find
the SSID you need to connect to, scroll using the arrow keys to that SSID and click OK, then
enter the security code (if any), and press the “Red” button on the remote to save. After
changing it, restart the box and you should be connected.
