3. Press L or R to change the setting. To change the ‘RF out channel’, press L to
delete the number that is there, then use the number buttons to enter the RF
channel number you want.

OK. Or, to
remove the menu without saving any changes, press back.
TV screen format
This is the type of TV you have connected to your set-top box, and how widescreen
broadcast programmes display. Make your choice according to the following table:
Format Type of TV How do widescreen broadcasts display?
4:3 Standard (4:3) The centre portion only of any widescreen
transmissions will display
4:3 Letterbox Standard (4:3) The whole of any widescreen transmissions will
display, but the picture does not fill the screen
16:9 Widescreen (16:9) Full screen
Video signal type
This is the type of signal which is most compatible with your TV. If you have
connected your set-top box to your TV via a SCART lead, choose RGB for a better
quality picture (or, if your TV is S-video compatible, choose YC).
RF out channel
The RF output channel for your set-top box.
The factory preset RF output channel is channel 38. If channel 38 is not compatible
with your TV or VCR, for example if it is already being used as your VCR’s output
channel, or for a terrestrial channel, you may find you cannot tune your equipment to
your set-top box because of interference.
You can therefore use this setting to enter a different number. You may find this easier
if you disconnect your external antenna and/or your VCR from your system while you
make the changes, but if you do so, make sure you follow all the safety advice on pages 6
to 11. You will then need to tune any equipment that is connected to your set-top box
via an RF lead to this new channel number - see the section on RF tuning on page 12.
RF channels may also be known as UHF channels.
For further advice, please call customer support.
Audio compression type
If your set-top box has an digital-optical audio connector, choose ‘AC3’ if you want
your set-top box to automatically output Dolby Digital audio (if available) via this
connector. Otherwise, choose ‘MPEG’.
