SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
For best results position your receiver away from radiators or other heat sources. Leave a space  
of at least 3 cm all round the receiver for ventilation making sure that the ventilation holes are  
not obstructed.  
This receiver is intended for use in a domestic environment only and should never be operated  
or stored in excessively hot, humid or damp conditions.  
Make sure no objects or fluids enter the housing through the ventilation slots. Should this  
happen, disconnect your receiver from the mains and consult your retailer.  
For cleaning, use a damp chamois leather, never use any abrasive cloth, sponge or cleaner.  
When connecting or disconnecting cables to the receiver always ensure the receiver is  
disconnected from the mains.  
Please wait before connecting your receiver - read on.  
Mains connection  
Before connecting the receiver to the mains, check that the mains supply voltage corresponds to  
the voltage printed on the type plate of the receiver. If the mains voltage is different, consult your  
dealer.  
Important  
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 A plug.  
To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:  
1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.  
2. Fit new fuse which should be a BS1362 3A, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.  
3. Refit the fuse cover.  
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and appropriate plug  
fitted in its place. If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 3A.  
If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distribution board should not be greater than 5A.  
Note : The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be  
inserted into a 13A socket elsewhere.  
How to connect a plug  
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:  
-
-
BLUE - "NEUTRAL" ("N")  
BROWN - "LIVE" ("L")  
1. The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked withg the letter "N" or  
coloured BLACK.  
2. The BROWN wire must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter "L" or  
coloured RED.  
3. Do not connect either wires to the earth terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter "E"  
or by the safety earth symbol l or coloured green or green-and-yellow. Before replacing the  
plug cover, make certain that the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead - not  
simply over the two wires.

1. Unplug all equipment from the mains before making connections.  
Note: Before starting to connect check your current wiring because you can keep the coaxial  
connection in between your TV and your video provided they are connected as shown  
above. This connection ensures you can still record your current channels.  
2. Connect a SCART lead between the “TV” socket of your digital receiver, and the television.  
Using the first SCART of your TV (usually described as EXT AV 1) will provide the best  
picture quality. This will also cause a digital television picture to automatically appear on your  
TV screen when you turn on the digital receiver.  
3. If you already have a SCART lead use it between the “VCR” socket of your digital receiver  
and your video. This connection provides the best recording/playback quality. Use the first  
EXT AV1 SCART socket on your video. It will make it possible for your video, to play through  
your digital receiver connection.  
4. Refer to the connection diagram above to complete the wiring of your receiver. No further  
adjustment is required .  
5. Then plug all your equipment , including your digital receiver, into the mains.  
6. Switch on your TV first and select a channel. Now switch on your digital receiver using the  
ON/OFF button on the front panel. The front display will show “ - - : - - “.  
7. Press the B (standby) button on your remote to wake up your digital receiver. Your receiver  
will now be generating a “welcome” screen.  
8. Then go to chapter 6.

1. Unplug all equipment from the mains power before making connections.  
Before starting the connection, check your current wiring as you can keep the coaxial aerial  
connection in between your TV and video. This connection ensures you can still playback  
your video and watch digital channels.  
2. Connect your equipment according to the diagram above but do not connect your aerial to  
the digital receiver at this stage.  
3. Once connected, plug in your equipment. Switch on your TV first and select a spare channel  
to be used when watching digital programmes, then switch on your video.  
(It doesn't matter what channel number your video is on at this stage.)  
4. Now switch on your digital receiver using the mains ON/OFF button on the front panel. The  
front panel display will show - - : - -.  
5. Press the B (standby) button on your remote to wake up your digital receiver. Your receiver  
will now be generating a welcome screen to give you something to look out for when you are  
tuning your TV.  
6. Tuning your television  
You now need to manually tune the channel you have selected on your TV to watch digital  
programmes. Please refer to your TV’s user guide if you need to check how to do this. When  
the welcome screen appears on your TV, store that channel.  
7. If you haven't managed to display the welcome screen at this stage, press the M button on  
the front of the receiver. This will generate the main menu on-screen which you can then  
look out for when tuning. Try manually tuning your TV again, this time looking for the main  
menu.  
8. Connect your aerial to the digital receiver and check that the picture remains steady  
(no interference or snow).

9. Switch your TV to all other tuned channels, including that tuned for your video, and check  
the picture quality. If there is no interference, go to chapter 6.  
If there is any interference, continue as follows:  
-
-
Disconnect your aerial from the back of the receiver.  
Make sure that your TV is on the channel you have tuned for watching digital  
programmes  
-
-
If you have the welcome message on-screen, press the SELECT button on your  
remote. You will now see the main menu screen.

settings and then option 6 uhf channel number.  
The current setting for this option is 38, which needs to be changed if you are  
experiencing interference. To do this, use the number buttons to enter a new uhf  
channel number. Choose one that is significantly different from 38. Press the RED  
button (back) to move back a screen and store your setting.  
-

GENERAL OPERATION OF YOUR  
DIGITAL TERRESTRIAL RECEIVER  
Throughout this instruction book you will notice that the everyday operation of your digital  
receiver is based on a series of user friendly on-screen displays and menus. These displays will  
help you get the most from your digital receiver, guiding you through initial installation, channel  
selection, timer settings and many other functions.  
All functions can be carried out using either the buttons on the front of your digital receiver or the  
remote, however we suggest that you will find it easier to use your remote in most instances. If  
at any time when using the menus you want to return to the normal TV picture, press either the  
EXIT or MENU button.  
Should you experience any difficulties with the operation of your receiver, please consult the  
relevant section of the instruction book, including the trouble shooting guide, or alternatively call  
ONdigital customer services on 0870 600 9696.  
FINDING AND STORING CHANNELS  
Now you have connected your digital receiver as described on the previous pages, you are  
ready to begin searching for your new channels. This is also covered within the ONdigital  
envelope included with your digital receiver. We recommend that if possible, you use this guide  
to install your receiver.  
The procedure in the ONdigital envelope or that described in chapter 4 of this instruction book  
will result in you seeing either the welcome or main menu screen on your TV.  
IMPORTANT:  
-
If you do not see either screen and you have used SCART leads when connecting you  
may need to press the TV/DTV button twice on your remote.  
Alternatively use the button on your TV remote that selects the TV’s AV or External  
(SCART) socket.  
-
If you do not see either screen and you have not been able to use SCART leads when  
connecting check the channel number you have selected, alternatively you may need to  
adjust the tuning of your TV again. Please refer back to chapter 4.

your remote. If you allready have the main menu go to step 3.  
2. Choose option 5 getting started using the DOWN ARROW button, and press the SELECT  
button.  
The receiver will start to search for all available channels, as indicated on-screen.

Highlight the store channels option using the DOWN ARROW button and press the  
SELECT button.  
-
Press the SELECT button again, the receiver will start to search for all available  
channels, as indicated on-screen.  
During the installation process the display on screen will indicate the number of channels  
that have been found and the percentage of the installation that has been completed. You  
will also see the message Your ONdigital box is searching for all available channels – this  
may take about 20 minutes – please wait.  
When complete, the display will briefly show 100%, the number of channels that have been  
found and indicates that these are being stored. It will then display a list of channels.  
Press the UP or DOWN button to highlight the channel you want to watch followed by the

8.2 CHANGING CHANNELS  
There are three ways to select channels on your digital receiver, as identified in the remote  
section at the front of this instruction book. In all case, the receiver will wait approximately 1  
second before changing channels after the selection has been made.

USING THE CHANNEL LIST  
The channel list is an alternative way of viewing what channels are available on your digital  
receiver. The list will be displayed over the programme you are currently watching and will also  
indicate which channels have been selected as your favourites or have been locked (see 8.5 to  
9.3 on how to select favourite and locked channel).  
1. To display the channel list, press the SELECT button whilst viewing any channel. The  
following is an example of the information that will appear on-screen. All available channels  
will be included in the channel list. Make the channel list in the photograph consistent with  
the menu tree on page 10.  
2. The display will show a total of 6 channels at a time, along with symbols that identify the  
status of particular channels, such as favourite and/or locked channel. The channel you are  
currently viewing will be highlighted on this list.  
3. To move through the channel list, press the UP or DOWN arrow button as indicated on-  
screen. The selected channel will be highlighted. When you reach the bottom of one screen,  
continue to press the DOWN arrow to scroll to the next screen. Alternatively press RIGHT or  
LEFT to move a whole page at a time.  
4. At any stage, you can press the EXIT button to remove the channel list from the screen, or  
alternatively, with the required channel highlighted, you can change to that channel by  
pressing the SELECT button.  
8.3 USING THE TV/DTV BUTTON  
This button is used to switch between watching digital channels via your digital receiver and  
standard analogue channels on your TV. The function of the button depends on whether you  
have connected your digital receiver using the scart lead supplied.  
As an example, if you have used the scart lead between your digital receiver and TV, and are  
currently recording a digital programme, you may need to use the TV/DTV button to watch a  
standard analogue channel. Pressing this button again will switch back to watching a digital  
channel.  
In most cases, having connected your digital receiver and TV by a scart lead, you will not have  
to manually select the correct channel on your TV for watching digital programmes. To ensure  
the correct channel is selected automatically, your TV should be switched on before your digital  
receiver. If your TV is switched on after your digital receiver, you may need to use the TV/DTV  
button to select the correct channel on your TV.

8.4 USING THE ON-SCREEN TV GUIDE

of the current programme and the time.  
The bottom half of the screen will initially show the same information and additionally, the  
name and start time of the programme currently being shown as well as that of the next  
programme. It will also show options to view more information about the programmes.  
2. Whilst this information is displayed on-screen, you can press the UP and DOWN arrow  
buttons, or number buttons 0 to 9 on your remote to see programme information for other  
channels, without actually changing the channel you are currently watching.  
As you change channels, the top part of the screen will continue to display information for  
the channel you are currently watching.  
3. If you want to change channels whilst this screen is displayed, you can do so by pressing  
the SELECT button on your remote when the information for the channel you require is  
displayed.  
4. As part of this feature, you also have access to additional information about both the current  
and the next programme. You can view this by pressing the YELLOW button to display  
information about the current programme and the BLUE button for the next programme.  
Pressing the same button a second time will return to the standard programme information.  
Note: The channel cannot be changed by pressing the SELECT button if you are viewing  
information for the next programme.  
5. When viewing the additional programme information you may find that it is not all displayed  
on one screen. In this case, use the UP and DOWN arrow buttons as indicated on screen to

9.8 ALTERING YOUR ONdigital BOX SETTINGS  
This menu offers the following options, enabling you to set the preferred language, subtitles, tv

options are described below.

your remote to save the new setting and return to a normal TV picture.  
An explanation of each option is detailed below:  
PREFERRED LANGUAGE  
When your receiver is first switched on, the default setting for this option will be English. Other  
options are Welsh and Gaelic. Should you wish to change the language, use the LEFT and  
RIGHT arrow buttons. If the language selected is not available, the receiver will use English as a  
default.  
SUBTITLES  
Similarly, this option will allow you to choose the language that subtitles are displayed in. Options  
are English, Welsh, Gaelic and None. If any of the languages are selected, subtitles will always  
be displayed when they are available. The SUBTITLE button on your remote, can be used to  
switch the subtitles on and off. The option also includes a setting for hard of hearing people,  
indicated by a symbol next to the language. This means that the subtitles will also include  
descriptive text, such as telling the viewer when there is laughter or applause.  
If the none option is selected, subtitles will not be displayed, even if they are available, unless  
the SUBTITLE button on your remote is pressed.  
You will know if subtitles are available for a programme either by a symbol that appears when  
you look at the channel list, or if you are made aware of this by a broadcaster.  
TV VOLUME  
This option sets the default sound output level at wake up from your receiver to your TV. This is  
factory set to a medium level, but you may notice that when switching between channels on your  
digital receiver and channels on your normal TV, that the volume differs.

will beep. More information on how the timer works is included in section 9.5.  
TIME and DATE  
Your digital receiver will automatically set the current time and date by taking information from  
broadcasters. However, should you wish to adjust these settings, you can do so manually using  
this menu.  
Use the number buttons to enter the correct details, remembering that the time should be  
entered in a 24 hour clock format.

preferences) and button 2 (TV and video settings) to display the menu below.  
Each option is briefly described below. Pressing the EXIT button at any stage of this menu will  
return you to a normal TV picture.  
In all instances, the UP and DOWN arrow buttons should be used to select the required option  
and the LEFT and RIGHT buttons to amend the setting.  
TV SCREEN  
This option enables you to tell the receiver whether you have a 4:3 or 16:9 (widescreen) TV.  
If you select 16:9 in this option, the receiver will automatically display any widescreen  
programmes in the correct format.  
If you choose 4:3, a further option will be highlighted below that enables you to select how you  
would like a widescreen programme to be shown on your standard 4:3 TV.

NORMAL 4:3 (only available if 4:3 is selected in item 1 of this  
menu)  
If you have a 4:3 TV, you need to choose whether widescreen programmes are shown in a  
letterbox format ie. with blank areas at the top and bottom of the TV screen, or whether the  
programme is expanded to fill the height of the screen, but as a result parts of the picture at the  
side are lost.  
While watching a programme the WIDE button switches between “letterbox” and “full screen”  
picture format.  
4 : 3 full screen  
4 : 3 letter box  
TV SOUND  
This gives you the option of selecting either mono or stereo sound. As a default, stereo has been  
selected. You need only change this selection if you are connecting to a mono TV.  
TV STANDARD  
If you have connected your digital receiver and your TV by a scart lead, you should try adjusting  
this option to ensure the best possible picture. The receiver will default to a setting called  
“composite”. However you may see further improvement if you select the alternative “rgb” option.  
Change the option as previously described. If you do not notice any difference in the picture  
quality, please ensure the setting remains on composite and exit the menu.  
VIDEO SOUND  
Leave this set to “stereo”.  
VIDEO STANDARD  
Leave this set to “pal I”  
UHF OUTPUT CHANNEL  
This is another setting that has been made during manufacture which you should not find  
necessary to adjust. If relates to the output frequency from your digital receiver to your TV  
(coaxial connection).  
Should you be unable to tune a channel on your TV or video to watch pictures from your digital  
receiver, you may need to adjust this setting. It may also require slight adjustment if you can see  
a picture but there is also some interference. (Refer to chapter 4.1.2).  
If you are in any doubt about adjusting this setting, please contact your local retailer or ONdigital  
customer services on 0870 600 9696

9.10 ALTERING MODEM SETTINGS  
You may need to alter the settings within this menu when you connect your digital receiver to a  
telephone line. Press the MENU button, followed by number button 4 (viewing preferences) then  
3 for modem settings.  
MODEM  
This option enables you to tell the receiver if you are using the internal modem or have added an  
external modem.  
DIALLING  
This option is to choose either tone or pulse dialling. Most domestic telephones use tone dialling.  
If you are unsure, check with your telephone company.  
CONNECTION  
You will only need to change this setting to pabx if your digital receiver is connected to a phone  
line that requires you to dial a prefix for an outside line. Most domestic telephones will operate  
with a direct connection.  
PREFIX  
This option is only available If you have chosen pabx in the connection option. You can then  
choose the prefix that the digital receiver will dial in order to get an outside line.  
WAIT FOR DIAL TONE  
This option is only available if you have chosen pabx in the connection option. You can then  
adjust this setting depending on what your system requires.  
STD CODE  
This allows you to tell the receiver whether it will always be required to dial an STD code.  
PREFIX  
If you have selected to choose an STD code, this allows you to enter the code using the  
NUMBER buttons.  
9.11 TECHNICAL INFORMATION  
The options contained within the technical information menu enable you to check the status of  
your digital receiver. This is not something you should need to do, apart from in the unlikely  
event of a problem occurring with your receiver. In this instance, it will help the ONdigital  
customer services people to understand the problem and resolve it as quickly as possible.  
There are 3 options from the menu, signal strength, manufacturer data and auto update.  
SIGNAL STRENGTH  
This section will help to determine the strength of signal that is available to your digital receiver.  
The display details the output channel that has been selected and the signal strength of that  
channel.  
To enter the UHF number, press the GREEN button, enter the channel number and press the  
RED button to measure the signal strength.  
You will not normally need to refer to this screen, but should you have any reception problems, it  
maybe referred to during a call to the ONdigital customer services.

MANUFACTURER DATA  
This option shows various information about your digital receiver, such as it’s manufacturer and  
the versions of hardware and software that it contains. This is another screen that will be used  
by the ONdigital customer service people.  
AUTO UPDATE  
The final option on this menu can update the software used in your digital receiver. This may  
update certain menus or functions of your digital receiver, as well as add new features, but the  
general way in which it operates will not change.  
Normally, this type of update will be broadcast to your receiver like any normal programme. The  
receiver will detect the broadcast and update itself the next time it is switched on. Whilst this is  
happening you may notice certain messages on the LED display on the front of the receiver.  
These messages and their meanings are described below.  
On other occasions, you may be asked to start this update process by a member of the  
ONdigital customer services team. Before the update starts, a message will be displayed to ask  
if you want to go ahead as it may change some of the personal settings you have made on your  
receiver, such as locked or favourite channels.  
FRONT PANEL MESSAGES  
The front panel display can also indicate the status of your digital receiver during an auto update.  
Messages include:  
Auto update – this is indicating that your digital receiver is searching for an updated version of  
software and then updating your receiver.  
Update error – this will indicate that the software your receiver is currently using is in fact the  
most up to date version.  
Retrying update – this message may be seen when a newer version of software has been  
located, but the receiver is having difficulty updating. In this instance, the auto update message  
will be seen again as the receiver continues the update process.  
Out of order – this indicates that your receiver has tried to update the software it currently uses,  
but has been unsuccessful. It maybe necessary to contact your retailer, but if you are in any  
doubt, call ONdigital customer services on 0870 600 9696.  
9.12 ADDING NEW CHANNELS  
This function can be used to add channels to your existing list of stored channels. Follow these  
instructions should you wish to search for new channels that may have subsequently been  
launched by the broadcasters.  
1. Press MENU, then button 5 (getting started), and button 3 (add channels).  
2. During the channel search the display on screen will indicate the number of channels that  
have been found.  
3. When the search is complete the channel list will be displayed showing any additional  
channel, that were found.

10 IF YOUR DIGITAL RECEIVER ’S REMOTE  
INTERFERES WITH YOUR TELEVISION.  
If you have interference between your digital receiver’s remote control and your particular brand  
of television set, it may be because the television incorrectly responds to infra-red commands not  
intended for it.  
Your digital receiver and remote can work with one of two infra-red coding systems A & B. The  
normal setting for your receiver and remote control is system A, these can however be changed  
to system B, to avoid conflict with your television set.  
10.1 To change your digital receiver from system  
A to system B.  
1. Ensure your digital receiver is switched off (if necessary press the ON/OFF button)  
2. Press the ON/OFF button to switch on your digital receiver (the front display shows the time  
or “—:—”), your digital receiver will now be in standby.  
3. Press and hold the M button on the front panel of your digital receiver for at least 3 seconds.  
4. The front control panel of the digital receiver will now show “-SA-” (this stands for system A).  
5. Press the B (right arrow) button to change the display from “-SA-” to “-Sb-”.  
6. Press the S button to store the displayed setting, your digital receiver returns to standby and  
is now programmed to use system B.  
Note: During the above process, if there is a time lapse of more than 10 seconds between  
key presses the digital receiver will return to standby.  
Should you at any time wish to change your digital receiver back to system A commands, exactly  
the same sequence should be used except this time the B (right arrow) button is used to change  
the display to “-SA-”.  
10.2 To change your remote control from system  
A to system B.  
1. Locate the B (standby) and TEXT buttons on your remote control.  
2. Simultaneously press and hold these two buttons for at least 3 seconds.  
3. After releasing the B (standby) and TEXT buttons use the number buttons on the remote  
to enter the three digit code 161.  
Your remote is now programmed to work with system B commands.  
Note:  
Should you at any time wish to change your remote control back, to work with system  
A commands, exactly the same sequence should be used except this time the code  
entered should be 160.  
Important:  
If your remote is not powered for more than one minute, for instance when the batteries are  
changed, it is possible your remote could revert back to system A and no longer works your  
digital receiver.  
Should this happen, please carry out the steps shown above to change the remote back to  
system B.  
TV or Video settings you may have entered to operate products other than Philips will also be  
lost. Refer to chapter 11 “Programming the remote for your TV and Video” for information about  
these settings.

Changing batteries

minute. Be careful not to press any button when changing the batteries as this will also reset  
your remote.  
All manufacturers are concerned about the constant improvement of their products.

brand list, Philips cannot guarantee its operation with the complete range of products on  
the market.

following the relevant steps in  
chapter 7. If you are still missing  
channels, your aerial may need  
adjusting.

Problem  
Possible cause  
Action  
I have forgotten my parental  
code.  
Call ONdigital customer services  
who can help you enter a new  
code.  
I set the timer but it did not record  
what I wanted.  
The video was set incorrectly.  
Make sure that your video is set  
for the same time as your digital  
receiver.  
Your receiver was not left in  
standby.  
If you set the timer and have  
finished watching TV, make sure  
you put your receiver into  
standby, otherwise it will not  
activate.  
Your were watching another  
digital channel and ignored the  
timer alarm.  
If you set the timer and continued  
watching, you must change to the  
timer channel when the alarm  
activates. See section 9.5 for  
more detail.  
When I have more than 1  
programme in the timer, I  
sometimes miss the beginning of  
the second programme.  
The timer automatically adds 5  
minutes to the start and end times time of the programme. Allow for  
set in the timer. If the 2nd  
programme starts immediately  
after the first,this can delay the  
start of the second recording.  
Only set the timer for the exact  
the 5minutes run in and out times  
when setting more than one  
event.  
There is no picture on certain  
channels but the channel name is  
displayed.  
Your ONdigital subscription does  
not currently include these  
channels

subscription, call ONdigital  
customer services.

not do anything.  
You have not connected your  
digital receiver and TV by a scart  
lead.  
Use a scart lead if possible, but if  
you cannot this button will have  
no function. This is not a fault.  
The order of my channels has  
changed.  
They have been re-arranged as  
described in section 9.4.  
Refer to this section to change  
the order again.  
The remote will not operate my  
TV or video.  
An incorrect code has been  
entered into the remote.

and you have an RGB compatible  
TV, one of the TV settings could  
be wrong.  
The picture on some channels  
seems to have been stretched or  
squashed.  
The broadcast is probably in  
widescreen and the receiver  
settings may not be correct.  
Check the receiver settings,  
following the information in  
chapter 9.9. If you have a
