2. Points to note when installing the TV
2.1 Connect the TV unit AC line cord to AC mains supply but never to
DC supply. (Refer to the specified power rating to the back plate of
the TV unit.)
2.2 Do not place the TV near any fire sources such as lit candles,
matches etc.
2.3 To avoid fire or electricity leakage, never place it near your kitchen
or any place where water easily splashes over or drips on the TV
unit.
2.4 Locate it in a place where light does not strike directly on its
screen because light reflection could cause eyestrain. Entirely
dark surrounding is also not suitable for watching TV so soft and
indirect lighting is recommended.
2.5 Allow enough space between the back of the TV unit and the wall
to permit proper ventilation to prevent the failure of electronic
components. Also, do not place it in an excessively hot location.
2.6 Never place the TV unit near any magnetic objects such as
external speakers without shielding cover because their strong
magnetic field could interfere with picture quality.
2.7 To prevent pre-recorded videotapes from being damaged in the
course of TV degaussing, do not locate your VCR too close to the
TV unit.
2
2.8 Automatic degaussing: each time the TV unit is turned on with the
power on/off switch, the automatic degaussing circuitry purges out
the residual magnetism on the CRT’s metal parts. This ensures
clear & vivid picture color. If the TV unit has been moved or its
direction changed, leave the main switch off for at least one hour
and then turn it on again to avoid discolouration.
2.9 Press TV/AV key to enter into TV mode, then press MENU key to
show the master menu. Select TUNING, run the AUTO SEARCH.
The TV will save the channel number of every program till the end
of the search. If you want to stop the tuning, press the Volume “-”
on the unit, or the number keys or “VOL-” on the remote handset.
If no program is found till after searching, please check the
antenna wire. “
” means that the TV is searching.
2.10 Press “CH-” and “CH+” on the remote handset or “▼” and “▲”on
the unit to examine the picture and sound of the different channels.
If there is something wrong with the audio, press the S-SYS key
on the remote handset and select the sound item, then press
“VOL+” or “VOL-” to select “BG”. Press S-SYS key again to exit.
Remarks: If no signal is received for 15 minutes, the unit will shift to
standby mode and the power indicator lights up. You can
resume it by pressing
or one of the number keys on the
remote handset.
Warning: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose
