+Standard compliance
+-------------------
+
+Basically VDR works according to the DVB standard, but there are countries/providers
+that use other standards, which in some details deviate from the DVB standard.
+This makes it necessary to handle things differently in some areas, depending on
+which standard is actually used. If this is the case in your area, you may need
+to adjust the option "DVB/Standard compliance" in the Setup menu accordingly.
