Your Set-Top Box
Using Your Set-Top Box
You can use your set-top box to receive radio and television programmes in digital qual-
ity, which you can then view directly on a television or other device or also record for
later use.
u
Your set-top box supports you in all operations on the basis of a multi-language
menu and an innovative help system: You can read information on operation
directly on the television screen or view introductory demo films (depends on vari-
ant).
u
With the support of a convenient search function, your set-top box receives and
stores all channels broadcast in your region via DVB-T. With up to four favourite lists,
which you can create in line with your requirements, you have constant access to
your preferred channels.
u
The Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) offers you detailed information on current
and upcoming programmes.
u
Information on the current programme can be displayed simply using the info bar at
the bottom of the screen.
u
The integrated hard disk allows you to use the PVR function (Personal Video
Recorder) of your set-top box: You can record programmes in digital without loss of
quality and view your recordings at any time. You can set the recording of individual
programmes or an entire series using the EPG or the timer.
u
The Timeshift function (delayed viewing) allows you to choose when you would like
to view a current programme. You can pause the delayed playback a number of
times and then continue again or also forward or rewind.
u
Convenient editing functions (Trickmode) allow you to prepare your recordings
directly on the screen, for example by suppressing advertising breaks or integrating
repeats for individual scenes. If a playback is terminated prematurely, the last posi-
tion viewed will be marked so that you can continue this playback at a later time
directly from this position.
u
You can use the teletext offers of the individual channels to read the latest news and
other information.
u
Connect the digital audio output of your set-top box to an AV receiver or surround
decoder, for example, in order to enjoy digital sound quality.
u
You can connect your DVD device or your video recorder directly to your set-top box
and operate it as usual.
u
The device software for your set-top box can be updated with the Gigaset M45x PC
Manager software via a connected PC.
u
Encrypted channels to which you have subscribed can be activated by inserting your
smart card with the associated CA module into the Common Interface (optional).
u
A USB connection (USB 2.0) is available for transferring your preferred recordings to
a PC in order to archive these for later use (optional).
