Getting Started

Typical connections

Antenna
or cable

Connecting a TV antenna

To view digital Freeview TV channels a signal must
be received from one of the following sources.

• An indoor or outdoor antenna

• RF output from a compatible cable system

NOTE: For receiving over-the-air TV broadcasts, we
recommend that an outdoor antenna is used.

If using an indoor antenna, you must ensure that the

antenna is designed to work in a weak signal area.

Only when in close proximity to a TV transmitter will
an indoor antenna be able to reproduce a signal as
strong as a roof antenna.
Should the picture “freeze” or break-up on any
channel, this is most likely due to poor signal
reception.

Connecting to other apparatus

Connect the TV to other products such as VCR,
Blu-ray Player, games consoles, etc.

NOTE: Do not connect two leads to one apparatus,
only connect one lead to one apparatus at any one
time, signal quality may be impaired.

Blu-ray Player, VCR,
Games Console, etc.

Connecting to other apparatus

HDMI: Connect high definition equipment, such as
games consoles or Blu-ray players, using and
HDMI cable(not supplied). Select HDMI in the
Source menu to view.

SCART: This is the connector to choose for general
quality picture and sound. VCRs, set-top boxes and
some older games consoles. Select SCART in the
Source Menu.
Video and sound output is also available from this
connector. Note: Only DTV signals may be viewed

from this output.

VIDEO & L/R: For connecting products that do not
have SCART or HDMI outputs. Select AV in the
Source Menu

Headphones: You may connect personal
headphones to this TV. Reduce the volume level
before connecting. Inserting the headphone jack
(3.5mm) will cause the internal speakers to be
muted.
