TV MENU
As a Scart audio/video cable contains both audio
and video inputs and outputs in one cable, the
Scart connector between the DVD Receiver and
the TV can also be used to lead the audio output
signals of your TV to the DVD Receiver. In this
way your TV programs can be listened to over
your HS sound system.
NOTE: Please make sure that the Scart cable
used has all pins connected. If not it could be
that, only the video signal from the DVD
Receiver will be lead to the TV.
1. Press the TV button 0 on the remote con-
trol to turn the DVD Receiver on and select TV
as the source. Also make sure that your video
monitor connected to the HS 300 is switched
on.
2. The TV monitor will show the TV Menu, as
shown below. You can also select the TV
Menu with the ARROW keys

Audio: Selects the Surround Mode you would

DIGITAL IN MENU
In addition to all analog audio and video

RDS Station ID
With the help of RDS (Radio Data System) you
can show the name of the station you are
currently listening to as well as the station
names of all other presets.
The RDS function is set to active by default,
shown by the dark blue RDS icon at the left of
the menu. In this mode, all station names will be
visible both on the OSD menu as well as on the
Information Display on the front panel.
If the RDS function on the left side of the menu is
inactive (light blue), you will only see the frequen-
cy of the current preset shown in the menu and
on the front panel display. The Station Name line
on top of the menu will disappear, but the name
of all other stations preset will keep in the list.
Pressing STATUS D on the remote will change

frequency to the name of an RDS station or vice

indication in the OSD on or off.
