The Digital EPG menu
The EPG menu (Electronic Programme Guide) provides you with a quick and easy way to:-
a) View a complete list of the programmes available.
b) Obtain a preview of the programmes currently being broadcast.
c) Reduce the size of the list by selecting a category of programme, e.g. Sports or Movies.
d) Record programmes.
1. The EPG menu is only available when watching Digital channels. If the TV is not already in Digital
mode, press the DIGITAL/ button on the remote control. Press the button on the remote
control to display the EPG menu screen. This screen consists of an information window, a preview
window, a 2 hour timer bar (divided into 30 minute intervals) and a 5 channel programme list
covering the 2 hour period.
2. Press the V or v buttons to move the coloured cursor bar up or down the programme list and the b or
B buttons to move left and right. If you press the b button once more after highlighting the last
programme on the right, the programmes scheduled for the next 2 hour period are displayed.
As each programme is highlighted, a brief description of the programme appears in the event
information box at the top left of the screen.
If you do not wish to select a programme from the 5 channels listed, press the GREEN button to
display the next 5 channels or RED button to display the previous 5 channels.
3. If a programme you highlight is currently being broadcast, press the OK button to obtain a preview in
the preview window. If you have previously set a viewing age limit in the ‘Digital Setting’ menu, and
the programme exceeds that age limit, you will be asked to enter your PIN code before the preview is
allowed.
4. When the programme in the preview screen is the one you wish to watch, press the OK button to exit
the EPG menu and view the programme at full size.
The Category pop-up list
The ‘Category’ pop-up list allows you to quickly search for a programme by choosing from different
categories of programmes. For example, select the ‘News’ option from the ‘Category’ pop-up list to
display programme information only for News channels.
1. With the EPG menu on screen, press the YELLOW button to display the ‘Category’ pop-up list.
2. Press the V or v buttons to highlight the category you want, then press the OK button. The EPG
programme list will now only contain programmes of the type selected.
For information on the types of Categories along with instructions on how to add and remove programmes
from the Favourite list, please refer to ‘The Channel Index menu’ section of this instruction manual.
