When a Scheduled Recording is made from the EPG, Magic TV™ will
stop recording at exactly the time shown. However, if programmes are
delayed or don’t match with the EPG data, the end of the programme
may be missed. Here you can tell Magic TV™ to stop recording all
programmes later than the scheduled time.

You can also set this time for individual programmes on the To Do List
by pressing

on a highlighted programme.

Channel Setup

Channel List

Here, you’ll see a list of all the channels currently found by Magic TV™.
If you select a channel, you will be given the option to either:

Deleting a channel will make it unavailable to view or browse on the
EPG. To restore the channel, a new channel scan will have to be
performed.

Auto Channel Scan

After entering Auto Scan, you will be asked to confirm that you want
to delete all current channels. After proceeding, Magic TV™ will begin
scanning for channels. A yellow bar will represent the scanning process.
The scan can be stopped at any time and any found channels will be
available to view. When the scan has finished, Magic TV™ will jump
to Live TV.

Aspect Correction Mode

This menu allows you to select the default Aspect Ratio Correction Mode.
See section 5.3. You can also cycle between modes by using the
button on the remote control.

TV Aspect Ratio

Use this menu to set the shape of your display. This option is also
included as part of the Guided Setup process. 16:9 is the shape of most
modern digital Plasma and LCD TVs. 4:3 is the traditional shape of
analogue displays.

Audio

HDMI Audio Out

HDMI is unique in that it can transmit both video and audio along the
same cable. This menu allows you to select whether or not to do this. In
Auto mode, Magic TV™ will send audio if it detects that the TV/receiver
can accept it. You may want to turn HDMI audio off if you are sending
audio separately to an AV receiver via the digital audio outputs.

Bitstream

By default the digital audio is transmitted in PCM format (Bitstream off)
for maximum compatibility with TVs. However, if you want to receive
broadcasts in 5.1 digital surround sound (to be passed to an AV receiver,
for example), Bitstream should be tried.
