46 20. EPG EPGis an Electronic Program Guide containing programme information for all important stations. It is broadcast by various stations (in Germany by Kabel1 and RTL 2) and also includes the data for the other TV stations in the country. The TV set needs about 30 minutes to initially download the large amount of data. • On TV sets with two tuners, the EPG data are downloaded with the aid of the second tuner (see the next page). Once the data have been downloaded, the TV set stores the EPG in a spe- cial memory. The EPG in this memory is updated regularly, pro- viding the TV set is not switched off with the main power switch. • On TV sets with only one tuner: - the EPG programme position must remain selec- ted for at least 30 minutes, or - the data are downloaded at night (02:30 - 03:00) when the TV set is in standby mode. Not possible with an external receiver !
47 20.1 Activating the EPG The EPG function can be activated by briefly pres- sing the EPG key if an EPG programme position has been defined in the menu (see below). If no EPG programme position has been defined in the menu, the following applies. When any programme position on which EPG can be received is selected, the following is displayed after a short delay: The TV set is thus asking whether you want to use this station as the source for the EPG data. If you press any key other than the green key, this programme position is not used as the source of EPG data. The message will be displayed again on any other programme position where the EPG data are available. If you press the green key for Yes, this programme position will be used as the source for the EPG data. The messa- ge will not be displayed for any other programme positions. If you know which programme position provides EPG data, you can enter its number in the TV menu with the numeric keys. You can also overwrite an existing programme position number or clear it with the IIkey. Opening the menu MENU EPG Not possible with an external receiver !

Stations which carry two different programmes at diffe- rent times of the day must be stored in two programme positions (see Section 24). You can select which stations are to be lis- ted in the EPG.
