Candles and open flames. Do not place lighted

candles (such as tealights) on the top or at the sides

of the TV, or any other naked flame near the TV cabinet.

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.

Warning: Listening to loud music for prolonged periods may damage your hearing.
