7. Common Interface
If your receiver is equipped with a Common Interface module, the technical data relating to the modules
inserted, as well as to any smart cards inserted in these, can be accessed via a specific display. To view
this, first call up the Main Menu "Installation/Setup", followed by the sub-menu "System Information" and
finally ""Common Interface". You can then view the information as to which of the two CI slots is currently
fitted with a module. Use the directional keys to select the module in respect of which you require additional
information, and confirm by pressing the "OK/Menu" key. This will take you to a display that is generated
by the CI module itself, and may therefore differ slightly in appearance from one module to the other.
In order to obtain a full display of the data, a smart card must be inserted in the module. Please consult
your installer or card provider for the details of the use of your specific card.
8. Sleep Timer
You can use the Sleep timer to specify a time (e.g. at night) at which the receiver is to switch over into standby
mode. This is particularly useful if there is no person available at this time to switch off the receiver manually.
Press the "SLEEP TIMER" key . The display "Sleep Timer" is now on screen, and you can use the up/down
directional keys to change the time, at which the receiver should switch itself off in 15-minute steps. Press
the "OK/Menu" key to confirm your selection. The Sleep Timer is active with immediate effect, and will count
backwards the time still remaining to switch off time. Exit from the "Sleep Timer2 display without modifying
the value by pressing the "Exit" key or confirming the new value by pressing the "OK/Menu" key.
9. Videotext
The teletext or videotext feature familiar from analogue TV programmes is also broadcast on many digital
TV programmes. The digital receiver is equipped to decode the teletext/video text signal internally, and to
display it on the TV screen. Press the "Teletext" key to display the videotext or teletext of the programme
currently being viewed.
The teletext/video text will be displayed as an overlay on the screen over the current TV image.
In order to view a specific page of teletext/video text, use the numeric keys to enter the three-digit page
number.
The receiver is capable of storing a large number of videotext pages in a temporary memory, which reduces
waiting times when calling up a new page. Enter "100" at any time to return to the home page of the
teletext/video text pages of the TV programme being viewed.
You may use the directional keys Up/Down to page quickly through the complete teletext/video text section
of a particular TV programme. The benefit of the temporary page storage function is of particular benefit
when using this function for fast page scanning.
10. Switching between various audio channels
(Soundtrack) and Subtitles activation
Some TV broadcasters (e.g. Euronews) provide several audio channels or subtitles information, carrying
commentary in various European languages, to accompany the TV image. To use this facility, press the
''Audio A/B" key.
All available audio channels will now be displayed in a list on the screen. Use the directional Up / Down
keys to select a specific audio channel, and confirm by pressing the "OK/Menu" key. Press the blue key
to switch the focus to the subtitles list, use the directional Up / Down keys to select a subtitling language
and press the "OK/Menu" key.Press 2Exit" to exit this menu. A subtitle can be deactivated later on by
choosing the item "none" in the subtitling list.
Unfortunately only very few TV programmes provide additional audio channels, most are broadcasting a
stereo signal in one language only.
