Setting up your television

1 Please read the safety and care information at the back of this booklet before you

connect this television to the electricity supply . Then follow steps 2 to 5 below.

2 Make the connections

The aerial

Connect the aerial lead to the ANTg socket at the back of the television. You will need a good-quality aerial to receive teletext and nicam sound.

Other equipment

If you have a video recorder you will need to connect the aerial lead to the video recorder and connect the aerial output lead from the video recorder to the television aerial socket. Information about connecting aerials and other equipment is given in 'Connecting other equipment' on page 21.

The scart A V sockets

This television has two special interconnecting sockets called 'scart' (AV). You don't have to use these straight away, but using scart cables gives you the best picture and sound quality and can cure some picture interference problems. And you will only get stereo sound from other equipment if it is connected with a stereo scart cable. If you have other equipment with scart sockets please read 'Connecting other equipment' on page 21.

3 Put the batteries in the remote control

Press the edge of the catch at the top of the battery cover towards the cover and lift off the cover. Put in the two batteries that came with your television (size AAA or LR3).

Make sure that the (+) and (-) marks on the batteries agree with the (+) and (-) marks inside the battery compartment. Replace the cover by engaging the two tabs at the bottom and pressing down the end with the catch until it clicks into place.

• Throw away old batteries carefully. Do not put them on a fire.

• When you are using the remote control, keep within thirty degrees and seven

metres of the remote control sensor on the front of the television.

The 'A TSS' line will be highlighted in green. Press and hold the OK button for at least three seconds to start the automatic tune, search and store process (A TSS).

The on-screen display will ask you to wait and you will see the frequency changing ('freq'). 'Program' and 'store to' numbers increase as each station is stored in the television's memory.

When the ATSS process has finished, you will see the edit menu which shows you what programme numbers the stations have been stored under. If these are correct, just press the MENU button or wait a few seconds until the edit menu goes off. If you are not happy with the order the programmes are in, you can use the edit menu to re-arrange them.

• Your television might not name a satellite receiver or

video recorder properly, so you will need to use the edit menu to change the name.

• Sometimes the ATSS process will not store the

best-quality signal on the programme number you would like, so you will see a grainy picture or a distorted picture. You will need to use the edit menu to change the programme number.

menu, please read 'Editing programmes' on page 10.

Picture interference from other equipment

If you have used the aerial lead to connect a video recorder, satellite receiver or other piece of equipment, switch the equipment on one piece at a time and check the picture on all your programmes. The pieces of equipment that are not switched on must be on stand-by. If any of your programmes have wavy lines on the picture when the equipment is switched on, you will have to change the output frequency of that equipment. Please read the instruction book for the equipment to find out how to do this. Change the output frequency a little at a time (or in 8MHz steps) and keep checking all your programmes. When there are no wavy lines (or other interference) on any of the pictures, re-tune the programme number that you have chosen for your equipment (see 'Manual tuning'). Do the same for each piece of equipment , but after you've finished with each one, leave it switched on while you check the next piece of equipment.

Continue to do this until you have all the pieces of equipment working together without any interference. If you cannot get rid of the interference, you may have to connect the equipment with a scart cable (see 'Connecting other equipment') .
