GUIDE Plus+ (Continued)
 The unit must be in standby mode in order to update the data. If the unit
is in EXT LINK mode ("EXT-L" lights up in the unit's display), then the data
update may also not work.
 Make sure that the time is set correctly.
 Check whether "Off" is set under "TV Guide Download in Standby" and
change the setting in System Update in the Setup menu.
DVB-T
 Check the connections.
 Digital broadcast may not have started in your region yet.
 The aerial may not be pointing in the direction of the TV station, or the
direction of the aerial may have changed due to strong winds or vibration.
If problem persists consult your local TV aerial installer.
 This can occur because the signals are being divided between the unit and
other equipment. It can be solved by using a signal booster, available from
electronics retailers.
 Check to ensure your area is covered by DVB transmissions.
 Check that the aerial and antenna cable are designed for DVB.
Use the included RF coaxial cable shown in STEP 2, Basic Connection.
If you live within 5–10 km of DVB transmission towers, a combined VHF/
UHF aerial should be adequate. Outside this area, separate VHF and UHF
aerials provide superior reception performance.
 Check "Signal Condition". If "Signal Quality" or "Signal Strength" are
displayed in red or constantly changing, check aerial. If problem persists
consult your local TV aerial installer.
 Check that the aerial and antenna cable are designed for DVB.
Use the included RF coaxial cable shown in STEP 2, Basic Connection.
 Interference (known as impulse noise) from household appliances such
as light switches, fridges, etc. may cause picture break up and/or audio
distortion. Use a high quality quad shielded coaxial cable fly lead between
this unit and antenna wall socket to minimise impulse noise pickup. If
problem persists consult your local TV aerial installer.
 Check aerial connection.
 Adjust the aerial reception with "DVB Manual Tuning".
 Electrical atmospheric interference caused by local or distant lightning
storms or heavy rain with wind in "leafy" locations may cause pictures to
break up and audio to mute or distort momentarily.
 Impulse noise interference from an infrequently used electrical appliance,
or a passing vehicle or lawn mower with a "noisy" ignition system.
 The station sorting of this unit is pre-defined. Use profiles to sort the
stations as you want them.
 Select the length of time (3–10 sec.) in the "On-Screen Messages" in the
Setup menu
 The digital channel information will not appear during playback or recording
 When subtitle is on or additional information in the digital channel
informaion is displayed, Digital Text does not work.
 "Shipping Condition" was performed or the unit was in the delivery status.
The auto setup was then started and interrupted.
Do an auto setup again and let it continue right through to the end.
The data is only saved after this has been completed.
 Reduce the signal amplification at your aerial.
