The role of the TV receiver is to manage the incoming TV signals from local TV transmitters.

There are three models of the TV receiver:

One for Europe (PAL)
One for U.S.A. (NTSC), only applies to the S80 Executive
One for Japan (NTSC).

The European TV receiver can handle three different PAL systems. The menu system on the TV receiver is used to change the PAL system settings.

The TV receiver sends the received TV signals on a serial bus (Melbus) to the RTI system. The RTI system handles the incoming signals and sends them to the display screen.

The TV receiver transmits the TV sound on a serial bus (Melbus) to the audio module via the RTI unit.

Station settings, color, TV picture size and the screen contrast are set using the audio module or the remote control.

The TV receiver is located in the left section of the cargo compartment in the S80 and S60.
