sorted and also updated during subsequent
operation using RASS.
5.1.3.1.1 RASS
Your receiver is equipped with RASS (Receiver
Automatic Sorting System).
Today, in the networks of the various cable
operators, a large number of television and
radio channels in digital form can be received.
When you first install your receiver, RASS
ensures that these big number of channels are
stored in the channel list on your receiver in a
defined order.
Normally, during a channel scan incorrect data
are not deleted (for example, no longer fed
channels), and new channels usually added
just "behind", so that you have to reprogram
your channel list.
With RASS the channel list will always be up to
date, even if new channels are added or if
there are other changes.
5.1.3.1.2 RASS Works as Follows:
1. A RASS list is installed on the receiver
already in the factory. This list is processed
during the initial installation after the
search, i. e., the found channels are stored
in a predefined order.

2. Occasionally it happens that cable operators feed a new channel, or remove any existing channels from their network. From
this reason it is important that the channel
list is kept up to date. Therefore, your receiver checks each time that you turn off
your receiver (in standby mode), if there is
a RASS update. If not, the receiver is completely switched off after a certain time,
then he goes into the power saving mode
(Deep Standby).
3. However, if the receiver determines that a
new RASS-update is available, this will be
loaded. Thereafter, the receiver will also
turn off completely.
4. Next time you turn on the receiver, you will
get a message: "RASS: It is recommended
to perform an automatic tuning". Then you
have the choice between

− If you select
started normally, no scanning is done
and the above message will even not
appear during the next turning on. You
can always achieve a re-sorting of the
channels based on the current RASS
list by starting manually a full scan.
5.1.3.2 Denmark, Sweden or Norway
If you select the countries Denmark, Sweden or
Norway, Max NorDig, a special kind of LCN
will be used during creation and updating your
channel list. LCN is an acronym for "Logical
Channel Numbering", which means that a
channel list given by the cable TV provider can
automatically be loaded into the receiver (and
therefore be updated at any time).
5.1.3.3 All Other Countries
For all other countries there is no special sorting of the channel list. In case of a new channel
assignment it’s recommended to perform a
new channel search (section 9.1.1, page 27).
