Timer and Stand-by
The timer is only active when the system is switched on or has been set
to sleep mode with the antenna open (see page 2). The timer is inactive
in stand-by mode. The antenna does never open automatically and
without direct user control.
In sleep mode, the system checks whether there are timer programs that
have to be processed. In this case, the sat mouse will show four vertical
bars (||||), indicating that the system is in timer stand-by and is hence
being controlled by the timer which will reactivate the system at the
preset time. The power consumption in timer stand-by is higher than in
regular stand-by.
Sleep-timer
The sleep-timer automatically switches off the system at a preset time.
To activate the sleep-timer, select MENU Æ Main menu Æ Options Æ
Sleeptimer.
In the configuration settings of the satellite system (see page 49), you
can select whether the system shall retract completely when the sleep
timer is active or whether it shall switch into the sleep mode with the
antenna open.
The sleep-timer works completely independently of the regular timer.
Please note:
When your receiver is switched off by the sleep-timer, the TV set may
remain on and hence consume power. Some TV sets switch off
automatically if no video signal is received or are remote-controlled via
the SCART cable. The digital CI receiver provides the corresponding
control signals at its SCART port. Please refer to the operating manual
of your TV set to determine the options.
