Welcome to digital television made simple.

Congratulations on your choice of Philips’ DTX6372 digital terrestrial receiver.Using your Philips digital receiver will allow you to access digital terrestrial programmes and services.

Note: To access ONdigital services you will need to take out a subscription. Refer to the

envelope included with your receiver, to get more information.

The simplest way to get digital television is here. No dish. No cable. Simply an aerial. It is, without doubt, the most exciting development in television history since the first ever broadcast in

1936. In the last 60 years there have been up to five normal channels on analogue television. Digital

terrestrial television changes that. ONdigital is the next step in television. Simply plug in your ONdigital box for a feast of

mouthwatering television. ONdigital is the only company that lets you pick and choose the channels you want to watch.

Subscription channels from ONdigital together with free channels from the BBC and ITV, will cover everything from sports and movies to news and current affairs, all with improved picture and sound and widescreen, too.

Products covered by this User Manual:

This user manual applies to the models DTX 6370, DTX 6371 and DTX 6372. The illustrations are taken from DTX 6372. For the previous models there are small differences in the position of the buttons on the front panel and the connectors on the rear panel, but buttons and connectors perform the very same functions for all three models.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

For best results position your receiver away from radiators or other heat sources. Leave a space of at least 3 cm all round the receiver for ventilation making sure that the ventilation holes are not obstructed.

This receiver is intended for use in a domestic environment only and should never be operated or stored in excessively hot, humid or damp conditions.

Make sure no objects or fluids enter the housing through the ventilation slots. Should this happen, disconnect your receiver from the mains and consult your retailer.

For cleaning, use a damp chamois leather, never use any abrasive cloth, sponge or cleaner. When connecting or disconnecting cables to the receiver always ensure the receiver is

disconnected from the mains. Please wait before connecting your receiver - read on.

Mains connection

Before connecting the receiver to the mains, check that the mains supply voltage corresponds to the voltage printed on the type plate of the receiver. If the mains voltage is different, consult your dealer.

Important

This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Aplug. To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2. Fit new fuse which should be a BS1362 3A, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

3. Refit the fuse cover.

If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and appropriate plug fitted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 3A.

If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5A.

Note : The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be

inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plug

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

- BLUE - "NEUTRAL" ("N")

- BROWN - "LIVE" ("L")

1. The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked withg the letter "N" or coloured BLACK.

2. The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter "L" or coloured RED.

3. Do not connect either wires to the earth terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter "E" or by the safety earth symbol l or coloured green or green-and-yellow. Before replacing the

plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the two wires.

CONNECTING TO YOUR EXISTING EQUIPMENT

4.1 IF YOUR TELEVISION AND VIDEO HAVE

SCART SOCKETS.

1. Unplug all equipment from the mains before making connections.

Note:

Before starting to connect check your current wiring because you can keep the coaxial connection in between your TV and your video provided they are connected as shown above. This connection ensures you can still record your current channels.

2. Connect a SCART lead between the “TV” socket of your digital receiver, and the television.

Using the first SCART of your TV (usually described as EXT AV 1) will provide the best picture quality. This will also cause a digital television picture to automatically appear on your TV screen when you turn on the digital receiver.

3. If you already have a SCART lead use it between the “VCR” socket of your digital receiver

and your video. This connection provides the best recording/playback quality. Use the first EXT AV1 SCART socket on your video. It will make it possible for your video, to play through your digital receiver connection.

4. Refer to the connection diagram above to complete the wiring of your receiver. No further

adjustment is required .

5. Then plug all your equipment , including your digital receiver, into the mains.

6. Switch on your TV first and select a channel. Now switch on your digital receiver using the

ON/OFF button on the front panel. The front display will show “ - - : - - “.

7. Press the

B (standby) button on your remote to wake up your digital receiver. Your receiver

will now be generating a “welcome” screen.

8. Then go to chapter 6.

Before starting the connection, check your current wiring as you can keep the coaxial aerial connection in between your TV and video. This connection ensures you can still playback your video and watch digital channels.

2. Connect your equipment according to the diagram above but do not connect your aerial to

the digital receiver at this stage.

3. Once connected, plug in your equipment. Switch on your TV first and select a spare channel

to be used when watching digital programmes, then switch on your video. (It doesn't matter what channel number your video is on at this stage.)

front panel display will show - - : - -.

5. Press the

B (standby) button on your remote to wake up your digital receiver. Your receiver

6. Tuning your television

You now need to manually tune the channel you have selected on your TV to watch digital programmes. Please refer to your TV’s user guide if you need to check how to do this. When the welcome screen appears on your TV, store that channel.

7. If you haven't managed to display the welcome screen at this stage, press the M button on

the front of the receiver. This will generate the main menu on-screen which you can then look out for when tuning. Try manually tuning your TV again, this time looking for the main menu.

GENERAL OPERATION OF YOUR DIGIT AL TERRESTRIAL RECEIVER

Throughout this instruction book you will notice that the everyday operation of your digital receiver is based on a series of user friendly on-screen displays and menus. These displays will help you get the most from your digital receiver, guiding you through initial installation, channel selection, timer settings and many other functions.

All functions can be carried out using either the buttons on the front of your digital receiver or the remote, however we suggest that you will find it easier to use your remote in most instances. If at any time when using the menus you want to return to the normal TV picture, press either the EXIT or MENU button.

Should you experience any difficulties with the operation of your receiver, please consult the relevant section of the instruction book, including the trouble shooting guide, or alternatively call ONdigital customer services on 0870 600 9696.

FINDING AND STORING CHANNELS

Now you have connected your digital receiver as described on the previous pages, you are ready to begin searching for your new channels. This is also covered within the ONdigital envelope included with your digital receiver. We recommend that if possible, you use this guide to install your receiver.

The procedure in the ONdigital envelope or that described in chapter 4 of this instruction book will result in you seeing either the welcome or main menu screen on your TV.

IMPORTANT:

- If you do not see either screen and you have used SCART leads when connecting you may need to press the TV/DTV button twice on your remote. Alternatively use the button on your TV remote that selects the TV’s AV or External (SCART) socket.

- If you do not see either screen and you have not been able to use SCART leads when connecting check the channel number you have selected, alternatively you may need to adjust the tuning of your TV again. Please refer back to chapter 4.
