German to English: Philips excerpt
Source text - German Auch das weltweit erste digitale Suchlaufsystem wurde bei Philips in Hamburg entwickelt und im Jahr 1977 erstmals in dem Philips Fernsehgerät „Goya-Royal 770“ eingesetzt. Damit entfiel das lästige Einstellen der Sender bei der Inbetriebnahme des Fernsehgerätes. Alles wurde fortan vom System automatisch durchgeführt: Sendersuche, Feinabstimmung und Abspeicherung von bis zu 16 Programmen. Die Bedienung erfolgte über eine zum System gehörende Infrarot-Fernbedienung, die Anzeige des gewählten Programms und des dazugehörigen Kanals wurde in das Bild eingeblendet. Der Bedienungskomfort erhöhte sich deutlich – eine Erleichterung für den Verbraucher, die heute nicht mehr wegzudenken ist.
Translation - English The world’s first digital channel seeking system was developed by Philips in Hamburg, and fitted for the first time in the Philips “Goya-Royal 770” television set in 1977. This did away with the need for the laborious tuning of television stations when a television set is used for the first time. From then on, everything was carried out automatically by the system: channel seeking, fine tuning and the saving of up to 16 channel settings. User control was via an infra-red remote controller which was part of the overall system. The selected program and the corresponding channel were shown on the screen along with the picture. User convenience was greatly increased, making life easier for the customer, and it is now impossible to imagine life without it.
