|
|
* Navigating through the On Screen Menus
|
|
|
|
The "Main" menu can be called up with the "Menu" key of your remote
|
|
control unit. The "Up" and "Down" keys are used to select a specific
|
|
item. The "Left" and "Right" keys can be used to change options, and
|
|
the numeric keys allow direct input of numeric data. The "Ok" key
|
|
confirms any changes (or switches to a channel in the "Channels" menu).
|
|
The "Back" key goes back one level in the menu structure, discarding
|
|
any changes that might have been made in the current menu.
|
|
|
|
In the "Timers" menu, the current timer can be enabled or disabled with
|
|
the "Right" or "Left" key, respectively (enabled timers are marked with ">").
|
|
"Ok" here opens the "Edit timer" menu.
|
|
|
|
Textual options, like channel names or recording file names, can be edited
|
|
by pressing the "Right" button (which puts brackets around the current
|
|
character as in "[R]TL"), selecting the desired character position with
|
|
"Left" and "Right", and changing the character with the "Up" and "Down"
|
|
keys. "Ok" then confirms the changes.
|
|
|
|
The "Red", "Green", "Yellow" and "Blue" buttons have special meanings
|
|
in the various menus and are listed at the bottom of the on-screen-display.
|
|
|
|
At any point in the menu system, pressing the "Menu" key again will
|
|
immediately leave the menu system.
|
|
|
|
* Selecting a Channel
|
|
|
|
There are three ways to select a channel:
|
|
|
|
1. With no On Screen Menu displayed press the "Up" or "Down" key to switch
|
|
to the next higher or lower channel.
|
|
2. Press the "Menu" button to bring up the On Screen Menu, select "Channels"
|
|
and browse through the list with the "Up" and "Down" key; to switch to the
|
|
selected channel press "Ok".
|
|
2. Directly type in the channel number with the numeric keys ('0'..'9');
|
|
if no key is pressed for about half a second, the digits collected so
|
|
far will define the channel number.
|
|
|
|
After switching to a different channel the channel number and name, as well
|
|
as the current time are displayed at the top of the screen. This line
|
|
automatically goes away after about two seconds, or if any key is pressed.
|
|
To bring up the channel display without switching channels you can press
|
|
the "Ok" button.
|
|
|
|
* Instant Recording
|
|
|
|
You can start recording the current channel by pressing the "Record"
|
|
button. This will create a timer event named "instant" that starts
|
|
at the current time and records for two hours.
|
|
If you want to modify the recording time you need to edit the timer.
|
|
Stop instant recording by pressing the "Menu" button and selecting
|
|
"Stop Recording", or by disabling the timer.
|
|
|
|
* Replaying a Recording
|
|
|
|
All recordings are listed in the "Recordings" menu. Browse through the
|
|
list with the "Up" and "Down" button and press "Ok" (or the "Red" button)
|
|
to start playback.
|
|
|
|
* Replay Control
|
|
|
|
The following keys have the listed meaning in Replay mode:
|
|
|
|
- "Begin" Positions to beginning of the recording and starts playback
|
|
from there.
|
|
- "Pause" Halts playback at the current frame. Press again to continue
|
|
playback.
|
|
- "Stop" Stops playback and stores the current position, so that
|
|
playback can be resumed later at that point.
|
|
- "Search" Runs playback forward or backward at a higher speed. Press
|
|
again to resume normal speed.
|
|
- "Skip" Skips about 60 seconds forward or backward.
|
|
- "Ok" Brings up the replay progress display, which shows the date,
|
|
time and title of the recording, a progress bar and the
|
|
current and total time of the recording.
|
|
Press "Ok" again to turn off the progress display.
|
|
|
|
* Programming the Timer
|
|
|
|
Use the "Timer" menu to maintain your list of timer controlled recordings.
