Highlights
Freeview access
You want to continue to watch the public 
broadcasted programmes, and also the new 
programmes that were made available during the 
digital switchover. You can also access MHEG 
services (games, EPG, videotext). No subscription 
required to receive the most popular TV channels in 
the UK brought to you in digital quality.
Pulse Killer Chip
Electrical interferences are neutralised by a built in 
chip called PKC
Digital audio output
With a digital audio output, you can immerse 
yourself in the programme that you are watching and 
enjoy the surround sound that is being broadcasted 
in the TV programme. Simply connect a cable from 
the connector for digital audio output (this can be 
cinch or optical connector, depending on availability 
on the product) and the digital audio signals in the 
broadcasted programme will be output to the Dolby 
Digital certified home theatre system (or an audio 
amplifier) for processing into a 5.1 audio experience 
on the loudspeaker boxes.
Automatic installation
New channels are quite often being added to the 
broadcasting network during the digital switchover. 
To ensure that you always have access to all available 
channels, it is important that the product is able to 
scan and install new channels automatically. A very 
sensitive tuner in the product is scanning through the 
broadcasting network for new channels whenever 
the product is switched off. Whenever a new service 
is detected, it will be automatically updated and 
saved onto the channel list.

Electronic Programme Guide 7d
You want to know what programmes are available 
today and for the next 7 days, so that you can avoid 
missing your favourite shows by planning your 
evenings or making pre-scheduled recordings. The 
data is broadcasted by the programme broadcaster 
and when this data is available, this product compiles 
the information and lists it in the menu for your 
reference. Simply enter the menu, or press the EPG 
button on the remote control to access the 
programme guide. The EPG will provide you with an 
overview, listing the programme information for the 
following 7 days.
2 SCART connectors
2 SCART sockets allow you to connect to 2 devices 
at the same time. One for the TV, and the other 
either to a recording product (e.g. VCR or DVD 
recorder) for recording of TV programmes, or to a 
video playback device (e.g. DVD player or Blu-ray 
player). Simply connect the SCART sockets on the 
product to the SCART socket on the desired 
devices, by a SCART cable. Video signals would then 
pass through onto the other device for viewing or 
recording.
