B - TV output settings
From MENU / User Setting / TV Output, you can set the format of the picture displayed on
your TV screen.
• On the Aspect Ratio line, select 16:9 if the aspect ratio of your TV is 16:9 (widescreen). If
the format is 4:3 (standard), the 4:3 LetterBox and 4:3 Full settings enable you to select
how 16:9 images will display on the 4:3 screen. Please note that free to view channels using
the 16:9 format are very rare (BBC on Astra 28, mainly). When you select 4:3 Letterbox,
the picture is displayed in full, with black strips at the top and bottom of the screen. In 4:3
Full mode, the 16:9 picture fills the whole of the 4:3 screen, but the left and right edges of
the picture are cropped. Theses two settings have no impact on 4:3 images.
• On the Contrast line, adjust the contrast of the pictures and menus as required (from 0 to
10).
• On the Dolby Digital line, enable the digital audio output, if required. Please note that free
channels using this audio format are extremely rare.
• On the Video Output line, select a RGB or CVBS (composite) output for your TV. The com-
posite mode works in all cases, but the RGB mode, handled by most TV sets, produces an
image of much higher quality.
C - Clock / Timer
Warning
The time displayed on the receiver (in the menus and on the front panel, in standby mode)
is transmitted by the broadcaster. In many instances, it does not match the real time.
Furthermore, when in standby mode, it is impossible to guarantee the precision of the circuit
updating the time. Therefore, Metronic cannot guarantee the exactness of the time displayed
and an incorrect time will not be considered as a malfunction of the receiver.
Time setting
When you install your receiver, you must set up the clock. This will allow the EPG to display
correct time and date, and will enable the timer setting.
Watch for a few minutes a channel that broadcasts the time (Euronews, or ZDF, for example)
• Go to MENU / Timer Function / Local Time Setup.
• On the GMT Usage line, leave Yes.
• On the Time Zone line, press OK to display the city list and select the city in your
timezone.
• On the Summer Time line, select On in summer and Off on winter.
• Press EXIT to save and exit.
