Important Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT - Please read these instructions. All the safety and operating instructions
should be read before the appliance is operated.

Important Information - Regarding Use of
Video Games, Computers, Captions or Other
Fixed Image Displays

The extended use of fi xed image program material
can cause a permanent “shadow image” on the
LCD/LED panel.
This background image is viewable on normal
programs in the form of a stationary fi xed image. This
type of irreversible LCD/LED panel deterioration can
be limited by observing the following steps:

1. Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a
minimum viewing level.

2. Do not display the fi xed image for extended
periods of time.

3. Turn the power off when not in actual use.
Examples of images that you need to watch out for

are as follows (this is not an exhaustive list):

• TV Channel Logos: e.g. Shopping channel logos
and pricing displays-especially if they are bright
and stationary.

• Moving or low contrast graphics are less likely to
cause ageing of the screen.

• Time Displays

• Teletext: Do not view a stationary page for a long
period of time

• TV/DVD Menus: e.g. Listings of DVD disc content

• Pause Mode: Do not leave the TV in pause mode
for long periods of time, e.g. When watching
DVDs or videos.

this may cause leakage, explosion
or ignition.

Important

As part of our ongoing development to reduce power
consumption, we have added an extra function to
this Television called ‘Home Mode’ (you will see
this during the fi rst time installation set up). Power
consumption using the Home Mode function is
approximately 25% lower than some other modes.
The picture brightness is reduced using the Home
Mode function. If this function is not suitable for your
viewing environment, you can select other modes as
necessary. (Please note, ‘Store mode’ is for optimum
default picture settings, however, power consumption
is approximately 25% higher than ‘Home Mode’)

Please refer to the user guide section ‘Picture
settings’ in order to change the mode to one that
maybe more suitable for your environment. There
is also a shortcut button on the remote control
called ‘P-Mode’ should you wish to change to
another mode.

Using Your TV With a Sky Digital Set Top Box

Option 1) Connecting your TV to your Sky box
(when both the TV and Sky Box are located in the same room)

Depending on your Sky Box & TV model, connect either by SCART or HDMI cables
(available separately)

If connecting by SCART, select the ‘Input source’ on the TV as SCART.
If connecting by HDMI, select the ‘Input source’ on the TV as HDMI (if the TV has

more than 1 HDMI port, ensure you select the input source to match the HDMI
numbered port on the rear of the TV)

If you wish to use your Sky remote to operate the TV’s functions, you will need a Sky
remote control (Revision 9 or later) and you will need to programme a 4 digit code
into it. See bottom of this page.

Option 2) Connecting your TV to your Sky box (when your Sky box is located in a different room to the TV)

Please note, if you are adding a ‘Magic Eye/TV Link’
to your system so that you can use your Sky remote
control to change the Sky channel in the room where
the 2nd TV is located, please refer to the instructions
included with the TV link/magic eye in order to ensure
the RF or RF2 output on your Sky box is powered on.
(The red LED light on the TV link/magic eye will light
up if the RF / RF2 output is correctly set up) If you do
not have the instructions that came with the TV link/
magic eye, instructions on how to do it can be found

www.freeview.co.uk

2) Check you are using an aerial that is able to receive a good digital
signal. In most cases, you will need an outdoor digital hi-gain/wideband
aerial. In areas that have excellent Freeview coverage, you may be able to
use a loft type aerial but it is highly likely that you will also need to connect
a booster between the back of the TV and the TV aerial wall socket.
Unfortunately, to receive a good enough digital signal, it is not possible
to use a portable/indoor type aerial. This may change once the analogue
signal is switched off in 2012 and the Digital signal strength is increased.
