After switching on the television set, the "ATS euro plus" page
appears.
If this page does not appear, press and hold down the mbut­ton until the "ATS euro plus" page appears on the screen.
The dialogue lines at the bottom of the screen are used as

on the remote control handset:

ʺʺ, ɶɶ

Assigning Channel Positions

You can choose between several lan­guages for the on-screen dialogue with
your television. After you select a lan­guage, all menu guide messages and
information will appear in the language
you selected.

After pressing the O button, the "ATS

euro plus channel search" is started.
The television searches for all available
channels, sorts, and stores them.
This procedure can take one minute or
more, depending on the number of
channels that can be received.
If a video recorder equipped with the
MEGALOGIC functions is connected to
this TV set (the connection must be
made via the EURO-AV sockets –
socket AV2 on the TV set – with a fully
wired EURO-AV cable), the display
shown opposite will appear.
It is then possible to select between the
functions ”MEGALOGIC Upload” and
”ATS”.

Your television is equipped with "ATS euro plus" (Auto Tuning
System). This new system offers you the advantage of auto­matic channel position assignment.
This search and memory system scans the entire reception
range, stores the channels found, and enters them with their
respective station name (abbreviation) into a TV station table.

You can change the automatic

channel position assignment
as you wish. For example, for channels without identification,
you can choose a name (station name) in a list of abbrevia­tions displayed on the screen and assign it the channel.

Transfer of the TV stations table

programme positions (stored channels)
from the video recorder to the TV set.
The ATS search function then is no
longer necessary.
After transferring the data, you can
immediately watch TV and simul­taneously record the programme on the
video recorder.
For this, the TV set (socket AV2) and
the video recorder (Euro-AV socket)
must be connected by means of a
Euro-AV cable (all pins used).
During data transfer, the message
”Transfer of VCR stations table” as well
as the programme position number and
the station name are displayed.
When data transfer is completed, the
picture received on channel position 1
is visible on the picture screen.
