The automatic procedure is recommended, especially when
installing the appliance, to ensure quick and easy tuning of all
the channels available in your area.
Tuning and storing channels automatically
This procedure uses an Automatic Tuning System (ATS) to log
all of the receivable channels associated with broadcasters in
your area, and store them automatically under corresponding
programme numbers. Before proceeding, check that the factory-
set transmission standard corresponds to the one used normally
in your own country (to check and if necessary change the tran-
smission standard, see under the section “Tuning and storing
channels in Manual mode, step -03-).
Proceed as follows:
1) Press the yellow button [4] to display the Main Settings
menu.
2) Scroll through the menu to “Setup” and confirm the selec-
tion.
3) Select the option “Country” and identify the country where
you live (the available countries, identified by their inter-
national codes, are: A, B, CH, D, F, UK, I, NL, E and, for
other countries “_ _”). By selecting your country, you enable
the ATS tuning system to pair the more important national
channels automatically with the first available programme
numbers. For example, selecting “I” for Italy, the system will
automatically store RAI 1, RAI 2, RAI 3 etc, under the first
few programme numbers.
4) Now select “Ch. Table” and identify the area of Europe in
which you live. The available options are “Italy”, “France”,
“OIRT” (East European countries) and “Europe” (other
countries).This selection enables the tuning system to make
a rapid and accurate identification of the channels listed in
the ‘Radio Frequencies Tables” published at national level
by each European country.
5) Select the option “Autostore” and confirm: the Autostore
menu appears on the screen with the “Start” option already
selected. If you do not want to proceed at this point, select
“Cancel” and confirm.
6) If on the other hand you want to proceed with automatic
tuning, confirm the Start option. The caption Searching…
appears on the screen and the procedure commences.
Each channel tuned is stored in the list and associated
automatically with a programme number. As each channel
is tuned, the message “OK” appears alongside the corre-
sponding programme number.
When the channel list is complete, the Searching... caption di-
sappears and the screen displays the picture showing currently
on the channel stored as programme 1.
Note: Once the Autostore function has started, it should be
allowed to finish. If absolutely necessary, the search can be
interrupted at any time by pressing the TV button [21].
Once the automatic procedure has finished, you may wish to
personalise the list of channels, for example by changing some
of the programme numbers, in which case proceed as indicated
in the
section “Personalising the List of Channels
”
.
Tuning and storing channels manually
If you prefer to
tune and store channels manually (one at a time), proceed as
follows:
1) Press the yellow button [4] to display the Main Settings
menu.
2) Scroll through the menu to “Installation” and confirm the
selection.
3) Select “System”, then select the ‘transmission standard’
used for television broadcasts in your country. Select PAL-
BG for Italian and German channels, etc…; Select SECAM-L
for French channels; Select PAL-I for British channels; NTSC
etc… . If you are in doubt, however, select “Auto”, as this will
ensure that the RTX 55TV recognises the standard automa
-
tically during tuning (IMPORTANT: the only valid option for
French channels is SECAM-L). In some cases it may not be
sufficient to select “Auto” and it will be necessary to specify
a transmission standard manually as indicated above.
4) Now scroll through the menu to “Channel Type”, and select
the “CH” option if you want to tune conventional terrestrial
channels, or “S” for channels received via cable (only if you
have a connection for cable TV).
5) Scroll through the menu to “Prog. Number” and use the num-
ber buttons [2] of the remote control to enter the programme
number (two digits, from 01 to 99) you want to assign to the
channel.
Note: It is good policy to leave programme number ‘0’ free, given
that if a video recorder is connected to the aerial socket of the
appliance, programme number ‘0’ will be used to store the signal
coming from the external source.
6) Scroll through the menu to “AFC” and select “On”; this
activates automatic frequency control, ensuring that the
strongest available signal is captured.
7) Scroll through the menu to “Channel” and use the number
buttons [2] of the remote control to enter the programme
number of the channel (two digits) you want to tune. If you
do not know the channel number, press and hold button
[23] to start searching automatically for the next channel in
sequence, or press button [24] for the previous channel in
sequence. In this way the system will tune the first channel
it finds.
