The process to setup channels is not really difficult but there's a procedure
that can avoid some frustrations for new customers. here it is.
First of all, forget the manual.
This is how you setup the channels!!
Quick info on what we will do.
First time you connect the DP-558, run through Quick Setup, initialize the
HDD and scan for the channels. Right after that, you should assign the EPG
ID's to each channel. When doing so, the names of the channels will be
listed in the Channel Manager when arranging the channels and you can
use Record functions using the EPG which is impossible if you don't assign
the channel ID's.
Step 1: Quick Setup + HDD Initialize + Scan Auto Channels
Step 2: Go to each channel in normal TV mode, and click on "LIST",
followed by "ENTER", this is how you assign an EGP ID to the channel.
Note that you need to know which channel you are looking at when clicking
on the LIST button. (CNN, MTV etc...)
Go the Country of the Channel (Like BBC = UK and CNN = US) and select
the channel you where looking at when pressing the LIST/ENTER. Confirm
the ID and repeat this step for every channel untill finish.
Here's the good part, these Channels which you connect with an ID are auto
added to your Favorites.
Step 3: After all channels have been assigned, go to Advanced
Setup (SETUP on remote) and walk through the advanced setup. Especially
pass by the Channel Manager where you will see channels listed like:
1 - VTM
2 - VRT
3 - CNN
instead of
CH1
CH2
CH3
Arrange the channels list as you wish by pressing Enter on a channel and
move it up or down. Done, you now can succesfully use the EPG with the
Channel ID's correctly added to the channels.
