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.
Bright sunlight and some fluorescent light falling on the remote control sensor may stop the remote control from working properly.

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.
If you need to change anything using the edit
menu, please read 'Editing programmes' on page 10.
If you have poor-quality pictures or interference, please read 'Picture interference from other equipment' below.

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') .

How to display the features menu
Remember, if you do not press a button within 30 seconds the menu will go off.
You can keep pressing the MENU button at any time to return to normal viewing.
What's on the features menu?
Language changes the language used in the on-screen menus . Format changes the picture size to suit wide-screen broadcasts. Child lock stops children from turning on the television, as long as
you hide the remote control.
Clock is used by the wake-up timer. Wake time is when the wake-up timer switches on the television. Wake PR lets you choose the programme number you wake up to.
What does aspect ratio mean?
Aspect ratio is ratio of the width to the height of the picture. This television has a screen with 4:3 aspect ratio. Wide-screen films normally give a 'letter-box' effect on a 4:3 screen, which means there is a black bar above and below the picture. Selecting '4:3' picture format with a wide-screen film fills the screen but things in the picture look tall and thin. Selecting 'zoom' makes them look normal again, although a bit of the film disappears off each side of the screen.

The layout of the teletext control buttons is shown in 'The remote control' on page 4.
The teletext service is an on-screen magazine that is carried on a television broadcast signal. Teletext information can also be carried by a signal that is fed into the scart or AV input of the television.
Turning teletext on and off
1 Turn your television on and choose a programme. 2 Press the button to switch to teletext mode. As long as the programme you are watching carries teletext,
the main index page will soon be displayed.
3 To leave teletext, press the button again.
Selecting a teletext page
1 Press the button to switch to teletext mode. 2 Press the number buttons on the remote control to enter the number of the telext page you want to see.
You must enter the page number as a complete three-figure number. The page number you have chosen
will be displayed on the top left-hand side of the screen. As soon as you enter the third number, the page
number in the middle of the top line of the display will start changing, showing that the television is looking
for the new page. When the television finds the new page, the number in the middle will stop changing. 3 To choose a new page, simply use the number buttons on the remote control to enter a new page number. 4 If you enter the wrong number, press more buttons until you have entered three numbers, then enter the correct
page number. 5 To return to normal television viewing, press the button again.
Moving to the previous or next page
To go to the page above the one you are on, press the PR up button. To go to the page below the one you are on, press the PR down button. This television has a page memory which stores a few pages above the one you are reading. When you press the PR button, the next page will appear almost instantly , as long as the television has had time to store it since you last changed the page.
News-flash and sub-title pages
These special pages are displayed as a small box of text on the television picture. The page numbers are given by the service provider (for example, page 888 on BBC1 Ceefax provides sub-titles). Sub-titles let you read what people in the picture are saying.
Fast text pages (the red, green, yellow and blue buttons)
The four coloured page headings at the bottom of the screen are associated with the displayed page. To see the page which corresponds to one of these headings, press the matching coloured button on the remote control. Each time you change the teletext page, while you are reading the page you just selected your television is loading a new set of associated pages. Once it has done this, you can display any of these pages almost instantly by pressing one of the coloured buttons on the remote control.
Sub-pages
Some teletext pages contain too much information to fit on the screen at once, so they are split up into sub-pages and shown in order. The service provider usually displays a label in the top right-hand corner of the screen to show which sub-page is being shown. For example '3/6' shows that you are looking at the third of six pages.
How to display a particular sub-page
1 Press the button to switch to teletext mode and choose a page with several sub-pages.
If there is no teletext on the programme you are watching, all you will see is '100' and a few other flashing
numbers. Leave teletext and try another programme.

Enter the sub-page number by pressing four of the number buttons on the remote control. As you start pressing the numbers the dashes change to stars. Y ou must enter the sub-page number as a complete four-figure number, such as 0003. As soon as you enter the fourth digit of the sub-page, the three-figure page number at the top left of the screen will come back and the number in the centre of the top row will start changing until the television receives the sub-page you have asked for. The sub-page will not change until you choose a new page or sub-page.
Page hold
When the information on one teletext page will not fit on the screen, sub-pages are shown in order (see 'Sub-pages' ). To keep a sub-page on the screen for longer than usual, press the button. T o cancel page hold, press again.
The cancel button - how to watch television while you wait for a teletext page
Y ou can watch television while you wait for a teletext page or sub-page to arrive, then switch to the updated teletext display when it is convenient. Remember the television is still in teletext mode, so don't try to change channels or you will change the teletext page.
1 Press the button to turn teletext on. 2 Use the remote control to enter a page number (see 'Selecting a teletext page') or a sub-page number (see
'How to display a particular sub-page').
3 Press the button. The top row of the teletext display will stay on for a few seconds then the whole teletext
page will disappear except for a symbol at the top left of the screen. This symbol tells you whether or not the television has found the page.
means the television has not found the page yet.
A page number like tells you the page or sub-page is ready .
4 Press the button again to see the teletext page or sub-page. 5 Press the button to change back to normal television viewing.
Size button
Keep pressing the button to change the character size. Press the button once to display the top half of the page at twice its normal height. Press the button again to display the bottom half of the page at twice its normal height. Press the button again to return the text to its normal size.
Reveal answer
Use this function on certain pages to reveal the solutions to quizzes and so on. Press the button once to reveal a hidden answer, and press the button again to hide it.
Index
When you press the index button , a teletext index page will be displayed. Which index page is displayed depends on how the service provider's teletext magazine is organised. Keep pressing the index button to move to different index pages.
Mix
When teletext is turned on, you can see teletext with the normal television picture behind it by pressing the button. Press the button again to go back to normal teletext, or press the button to go back to normal television viewing.
You can only enter four-figure sub-page numbers when the television is in sub-page mode. You can get straight back to three-figure teletext page numbers by pressing the button again.
As long as you press the button, you can enter another page or sub-page number, even when the television picture is displayed.
Some teletext pages are so big that it takes 20 minutes or so to show all the sub-pages. Holiday bargains with around 50 to 70 sub-pages are a good example. These are really meant for specialist use.

SVHS Rear scart 2 is the S-video input
Programme Back to normal television information
19
The scart sockets at the back of the television are a convenient way of connecting audio and video (AV) signals to and from the television. As the signals are in a more basic form than the signal at the aerial socket, they are less likely to be affected by interference and other things that can reduce picture quality. This television has two scart sockets on special channels called AV1 and AV2. As well as the scart sockets, the video and audio input sockets behind the front control flap provide a different way of connecting to the AV2 channel, but you cannot use scart socket 2 and these sockets at the same time.
Selecting the scart channels Keep pressing the A V button
bb
on the remote control or on the front of the television ( /
bb
) to choose one of three AV options or normal television mode. The display on the screen will follow the order in the table below, which describes the facilities provided by the scart and AV connectors on your television.
Video and RGB
The sharpest and clearest possible picture is reproduced from separate red, green and blue signals (RGB) which are usually produced by digital equipment. Digital equipment and other equipment also produces the video signal which contains all the picture information in just one connection (CVBS for composite video, blanking and synchronisation).
S-video or S-VHS
'S' stands for 'super' and 'VHS' is a type of video recording system. If a video recorder has the S-VHS feature, it can be connected to the scart socket AV2 to get better-quality pictures than ordinary videos can give. You must use a scart lead made for S-VHS (or S-video). Other equipment, like DVD players, may have a super-video output.
NTSC and tint control
Imported video discs and cassettes may be recorded with the NTSC television system which is used in America and Japan. This television can play NTSC videos as long as the video recorder is connected through the scart socket and not the aerial cable. While reproducing NTSC video, the picture menu has a tint control on it which you can adjust to get the best appearance of natural colours on the picture (see 'Menus for controlling and setting up the television'). Other kinds of video do not need a tint control.
Automatic A V mode or 'video' switching
Some equipment provides an automatic switching signal, so that the video recorder (or other equipment) tells the television to reproduce its video and audio signals. You can over-ride the automatic switching signal by pressing the A V button
bb
until you get back to normal programme numbers. Automatic switching signals do not always agree. If this happens you will have to buy a scart lead without the video-switching signal connection.
Equipment you can connect to this television
You can use the scart sockets to connect video recorders, camcorders, satellite receivers, video disc players, audio amplifiers and video games to this television. We cannot guarantee that all combinations of equipment will work.
What is the second scart socket for ?
There are other possible combinations besides the ones we have given you. When you have some experience, you might want to change the connections and use the extra socket. For example, you could feed sound signals out to a surround-sound amplifier or connect a DVD player with S-video output.

How to connect a video recorder only
Connect the video recorder scart socket to the AV1 scart socket on your television set. If your video recorder has two scart sockets, use the one marked TV . The television aerial should go to the video recorder, then to the television.
How to connect a satellite receiver only
Connect the satellite receiver scart socket to the AV1 scart socket on your television. If your satellite receiver has more than one scart socket, use the one marked TV. Your television aerial should go to the satellite receiver, then to your television.
How to connect a satellite receiver with one scart socket and a video recorder with one scart socket
If your video recorder has only one scart socket, connect it to the AV1 scart socket on your television. Your television aerial should go to the satellite receiver, then to the video recorder, then to your television. To be able to record satellite broadcasts, you will have to tune one programme number on your video recorder to the satellite receiver. (Please see your video and satellite instruction books for details of how to do this.) So that you can watch satellite television while recording normal television, you should also tune one programme on your television to the satellite receiver. (Please see 'Manual tuning'.)
How to connect a satellite receiver with one scart socket and a video recorder with two scart sockets
If your video recorder has two scart sockets, connect one (which may be marked TV) to the AV1 scart socket on your television and connect the other to your satellite receiver. Your television aerial should go to the satellite receiver, then to the video recorder, then to your television. You may need to read your video recorder instructions to find out which is the best scart socket to connect to your television and how to record from the scart socket you have connected to your satellite receiver. So that you can watch satellite television while recording normal television, you should also tune one programme on your television to the satellite receiver. (Please see 'Manual tuning'.)
How to connect a satellite receiver with three scart sockets and a video recorder with one or two scart sockets
If your video recorder has two scart sockets, use only one of them. Connect your video recorder to the scart socket marked VCR on the satellite receiver. You may need to read your video recorder instructions to find out which is the best scart socket to use and how to record from the scart socket you have connected to your satellite receiver. Connect the scart socket on the satellite receiver marked TV to the AV1 scart socket on your television. Y our television aerial should go to the satellite receiver , then to the video recorder, then to your television.
With these connections you must put the satellite receiver on stand-by to send the audio and video signals from the video recorder to your television. If you want to watch satellite while recording normal television, select a channel on the satellite receiver and press the
bb
button on your television remote control. If you decide to watch normal television while recording satellite, you may find you automatically get satellite pictures and sound from your television. In this case, select the programme number you want to watch using your television remote control.

We have designed and made this television to meet European safety standards. But like any television, you must take care to get the best results. Here are a few tips to help you do this.
Use
This product is designed to be used in the home, and is not suitable for business use. Anything other than household or similar general use according to these instructions may be dangerous and may mean the guarantee is not valid.
Position
For best results, put the television in a position where light does not fall directly on the screen and away from radiators or other sources of heat. Unless they are magnetically screened, do not put objects which have magnets in them next to the television or it could affect the quality of the colour.
Moving the television, coloured patches and magnetism
If you move the television the earth's magnetic field can cause coloured patches on the picture. The same can happen if you put a magnet close to the television or it you don't use the main power switch. To work the automatic demagnetisation system and remove the coloured patches, the television must be cool and you must switch it on with the main power switch. If the television is warm, leave it to cool for at least 15 minutes before you switch it on.
Ventilation
Put the television on a hard flat surface where curtains and soft furnishings cannot stop the air from flowing through the ventilation slots. If it is in a cabinet, allow at least a 10 centimetre gap all around.
Water and moisture
The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
Stands and supports
Only use stands which are recommended for the television, and make sure that the fixings are properly tightened. Never use a make-shift stand or legs fixed with wood screws.
Cleaning
Unplug the television and use only a lightly-dampened soft cloth to clean it. Do not use chemical solvents or strong detergents as these may damage the cabinet finish.
Good advice
Read these instructions carefully before you try to use the television.
Protect the mains lead. You must make sure the mains lead cannot be walked on, crushed, chafed, cut, or so
on. Don't continue to use your television if you have spilt liquids in it, if it is damaged in any way or if it does not work normally. Unplug the television immediately and get expert advice. Changing the mains plug. If you have to change the plug or remove it, or if the fuse in the mains plug needs changing, read the instructions about wiring and replacing the mains plug or fuse which we have given in this booklet. Avoid harsh conditions such as wet or damp places, very humid places, places with extremely high or low temperatures and places which have strong sunlight or are dusty.
Never let anyone, especially children, push objects into holes and ventilation slots. Make sure that all electrical connections are properly made in line with the connection and wiring instructions
we have given. Don't leave the television switched on when you are leaving the room for a long time, unless you have set the timer.
Electrical safety warnings
To prevent electric shock, do not take the back cover off this television. If anything goes wrong, don't try and fix it yourself, get a qualified service agent to look at it. Protect this television from rain and moisture. Unplug this television from the mains supply when you are not using it for a long period of time. Pull the mains plug out of the wall socket and disconnect the aerial lead during thunderstorms.
