some settings in this segment are related to the A/V
equipment to which the digital receiver is connected.
Instructions on how to set each item are listed on pages 14,
15 & 16.
13
Screen Format
This setting affects the video format at the TV output. (4:3
relates to normal screen format, 16:9 relates to widescreen
format)
If your display is 4:3 format and the transmission of a
program happens to be 16:9, the Normal/Letterbox mode
will give you a complete picture, but black areas will appear
at the top and bottom.
Alternatively you can choose the Normal / Centre Cut
mode to play the program in a full-screen format, however
information on the left and right sides may be cut off.
If your display is 16:9 format, then set the mode at Wide. If
a program happens to be in 4:3, black areas will appear at

(Dolby D) or MPEG1. Use W/X to select your choice. This setting determines your
initial choice of soundtrack based on the audio mode, and you may select any
soundtrack channel by channel, regardless of the audio mode setting made in this
menu.
14
If the default Audio Mode is Dolby D, and the input
signal contains only MPEG1, the default Mode will
change to MPEG1 automatically. If the Audio
Mode is set to Dolby D, the digital receiver will
automatically select a Dolby D soundtrack when it
is available. When using the SPDIF digital output,
we recommend this selection if you are connecting
your receiver to a TV or A/V receiver that can
decode Dolby Digital. You can switch between
Dolby D and MPEG audio by pressing the Red key
on the remote control.
Digital Audio
For each Audio Mode, you can have different Digital Audio Selection Options.

Audio Balance
You can adjust the value from L+7 to R+7. The selection “0” means balanced (equal level)
output on the two front speakers.
Audio Delay
Different displays may have different delay in displaying
pictures, which may cause a slight problem with lip sync.
This feature allows you to use W/X to select your choice
according to your actual video display equipment, in order
to compensate for this delay. The delay time depends on
which choice appears to provide best performance of lip
sync on your display device.
Teletext contrast
The OSD contrast of teletext pages can be adjusted by
selecting different options.
Teletext Operation
Teletext is only available on certain broadcast
channels. The time taken to display the pages and

Closed captions can be found on Teletext Page
801. The picture remains on the screen while you
type in 801.
Some broadcast stations will have a message on
the screen to tell you that closed captions are not
available for this programme. Some broadcast
stations give you no indication at all.

17
Sub Coded Page Access
When Teletext information exceeds more than one
page, it may take some time for the automatic
changing of the sub pages to reach the sub page
you require. As each sub page is found its number
is displayed at the bottom of the page so that you
may select it by pressing left or right cursor key. As
more sub pages are picked up, the display at the
bottom of the page changes, so that you are
always offered the most recently transmitted
selection of sub pages.
While selecting dynamic mode , sub page will
be changed dynamically and it will depend on
which page now is available. And you can fix on
specific sub page by pressing HOLD key, while in
dynamic mode. You can also access to specific
sub page by pressing left / right cursor key to select
the sub page number.
6.4 Advanced Settings
(Default password: 0000)
In addition to the settings in “Preferences”, section 6.3, the Advanced Settings are used to
program your digital receiver. Again, some of the settings, especially “Channel Installation”,
may require assistance from your Service Provider. Your digital receiver will ask you to key
in a password, and the default password is 0000.
Parental Guidance
Using W/X you may select to block programs with a certain
rating or above: None, Block G, Block PG, Block M, Block
MA, Block AV, Block R, and Block All. Your digital receiver
will automatically block programs that are unsuitable to
children under the age limit you have set. For example, if
you choose “Block PG” and a received program has rating
equal to or above PG, the digital receiver will ask the
viewer to enter the password before viewing that program.
18
However, not all transmissions carry ratings information to
activate this function.
Change password
From here you can change the password. Once the new password is set DO NOT
FORGET IT! If you change the password, we strongly suggest that you write down the new
password in
the □□□□ area. Without the password, you cannot access any functions
that require you to provide the correct password!
Channel Installation
When the receiver is initially set up, conduct a channel
search by selecting the “Auto scan channels” function.
Auto Scan channels
Auto Scan channels provides the easiest way to conduct a
channel search. It does not require you to enter any other
information. This function is strongly recommended for
regular users. However, the user should be aware that all
existing channels will be removed as soon as you confirm
start of auto scan.
In the Auto Scan channels OSD, all channels found will be
listed. The channel search may take a few minutes. If you
abort an auto scan during the scan process, some
channels may not be available to you.
Manual Channel Search
In the “Manual channel search” window you can set
the specific channel to search. Press the left or
right button then OK to select the physical channel
you wish to search. Note: the number displayed is
not the TV channel number
Restore Default Settings
If you wish to reset all previous settings, you can use this feature to do so. Once you
decide to restore shipping settings, all previous settings will be lost. Please be very
careful before you confirm this action.
19
Select Region
Using W/X you may select your local region: NSW, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia,
Western Australia, Tasmania, Northern Territory, and Australian Capital Territory. This
setting will allow the digital receiver to display the current time in the I-Plate or when the
receiver is in Stand-By mode.

Why does the show guide
(EPG) show some digital
TV stations but I can not
receive them
Why does the television
set top box not have all
channels tuned
Why does the picture on
the TV look green
Some of the digital TV stations are
transmitted in high definition (HD).
This set top receives standard
definition (SD) TV stations only and
will not display HD stations
It is possible that the signal level for
a TV channel might have been low
for some reason during the tuning
process
It is possible that the red video
RCA lead and the red audio RCA
lead on the back of the TV may be
connected incorrectly

If you want to pick up HD TV stations you will
require a HD set top box
Repeat the setup procedure for tuning in TV
stations
Change around the two red RCA leads on
the back of the TV
