Operating Tips

To ensure safe and satisfactory operation of your television, read this booklet carefully before attempting to use it.

Safety

Standby

To avoid any dangerous situations and operating faults, do not place anything on top of the television and leave a space
of at least 10cm around the set.
If your television fails to operate correctly after normal warm-up time or during use, switch off, remove the plug from
the power point and call a service engineer.

Always situate your television on a solid and steady surface (or on a suitable stand). If you do not intend using a stand,
you are advised to fit the self-adhesive foot-pads supplied with the television to protect the surface upon which it is to
be placed.

To save energy and preserve optimum picture quality (by de-magnetizing the tube), you are advised to switch off your
television at the on/off switch when not in use.

Installation Procedure

1. Connect your aerial to the TV at the rear of the cabinet (if it is an indoor aerial, in certain

reception conditions it may not provide the best picture. Adjust the aerial position for the best
result or use an external aerial).

2. The proximity of mountains or high buildings may be responsible for ghost pictures, echoes or

shadows. If this is the case, change the orientation of the aerial.

3 Remove the battery cover. Install the two AA type batteries supplied into the hand unit according to the diagram inside the

battery compartment. Replace the battery cover.

♦ Always use batteries that are guaranteed against leakage.
♦ Never leave discharged batteries in the hand unit.
♦ Always change BOTH batteries when necessary.

4 Connect your TV to a 220 - 240VAC, 50Hz power socket. Switch on your TV with the switch marked on the front panel.

The red LED ‘on’ indicator will illuminate shortly after, followed by a programme number on the screen as it lights up. Press
the same switch again when you want to switch off.

Getting Started Using the Menus

Coloured Keys

Located on your hand unit are four coloured keys normally used for TOP Videotext
operation in videotext mode. With this television they are also used for accessing menu
information whilst in picture mode.

Using the Menus

Your TV is controlled using four menus accessed by using the coloured keys on the hand
unit. The menus will automatically clear if no command is received within 21 seconds.

Video recorder

If your video recorder does not have a Euro-connector socket (or if this is already being used by another piece of equipment), the
only possible connection is via the aerial socket. Your VCR is then considered a TV programme by the TV set. You must tune
your TV into the video recorder’s test signal and assign it to a programme number, (see Tuning your Television, page 20).

When the VCR is connected via the Euro-connector socket using a special connecting cable, switching the VCR to play mode will
automatically switch from TV picture to VCR.

To go back to picture press or repeatedly press until your picture returns.

To go back to VCR press .

Switching VCR to stop also switches back to picture.

Satellite receiver

The same applies to a satellite receiver connected via the Euro-connector socket.

For more information on how to connect various pieces of equipment to your TV set, consult the other equipment’s operating
instructions.
