or visit www.digitaluk.co.uk

To retune your TV “Auto Setup” in “Tuning Menu” (p. 32 and p.33)

Cable or Satellite users should still retune the TV to continue to receive Freeview services via their aerial. (Your Analogue programme for viewing Cable or Satellite services will change to a new position.)

In all cases, it is possible to navigate the pages using buttons on the

 

 

remote control, but because the commands available must apply to all

 

 

manufacturers of DVB equipment, some on screen commands may

 

 

••

not correspond exactly to the remote control buttons.

Note

As soon as you switch to a DVB programme with links to a teletext service, software is downloaded in the background to enable the teletext function. This means that when switching to a DVB programme, you should wait for approximately 5 seconds before pressing the TEXT button - this will allow the software to download. If you press the TEXT button before download is complete, there will be a short delay before the text screen is displayed.

While navigating DVB teletext, you will nd there is a short delay when moving between pages while the page downloads. There is often a prompt shown somewhere on the page (for example “Loading”) to let you know that this is happening.
