Digital Switchover
Starting in late 2007 and ending in 2012, TV services in the UK will go completely
digital, TV region by TV region.
If you have any questions, please call Digital UK on
or visit
Digital Switchover will cover a period of several weeks. When it starts you will lose
all Analogue TV programmes and some Digital TV programmes will be missing.
You will need to retune your TV each time this happens to recover your digital
programmes.
•
Cable or Satellite users should still retune the TV to continue to receive Freeview
services via their aerial. (Your Analogue programme for viewing Cable or Satellite
services will change to a new position.)
Due to the digital reception technologies involved, quality of the DTV signals may be relatively low in some cases,
•
despite good reception of analogue programmes.

manufacturers of DVB equipment, some on screen commands may
not correspond exactly to the remote control buttons.

Note
As soon as you switch to a DVB programme with links to a teletext service,
•
software is downloaded in the background to enable the teletext function.
This means that when switching to a DVB programme, you should wait for
approximately 5 seconds before pressing the TEXT button - this will allow
the software to download. If you press the TEXT button before download is
complete, there will be a short delay before the text screen is displayed.
While navigating DVB teletext, you will fi nd there is a short delay when
•
moving between pages while the page downloads. There is often a prompt
shown somewhere on the page (for example “Loading”) to let you know that
this is happening.

Technical Information
Auto Aspect
The optimum size and aspect can be chosen, and you can enjoy fi ner images. (p. 16)
■
Auto
Auto aspect determines the best aspect ratio to use to fi ll your screen. It does this using a four step process to
determine if the picture being viewed is a widescreen picture.
If Auto aspect detects a widescreen signal it switches into the appropriate 16:9 or 14:9 widescreen mode. If Auto
aspect does not detect a widescreen signal then this advanced TV enhances the picture for optimum viewing
pleasure.
The text shown on the screen indicates how Auto aspect determined which ratio to use:
“WIDE” appears in the top left of the screen if a widescreen identifi cation signal (WSS) is found or a signal found
through a SCART or HDMI terminal. Auto aspect switches to the appropriate 16:9 or 14:9 widescreen ratio. This
function will also work in any aspect mode. “Auto” appears in the top left of the screen if black stripes above and
below the picture are detected. Auto aspect chooses the best ratio and expands the picture to fi ll the screen.
This process can take several minutes, depending on the darkness of the picture.

Note
The ratio varies depending on the programme, etc. If the ratio is greater than the standard “16:9”, black bands
•
may appear at the top and bottom of the screen.
If the screen size looks unusual when a widescreen-recorded programme is played back on a VCR, adjust the
•
tracking of the VCR. (See the VCR manual.)
HDMI connection
HDMI (high-defi nition multimedia interface) allows you to enjoy high-defi nition digital images and high-quality sound
by connecting the TV and the equipment.
HDMI-compatible equipment (∗1) with an HDMI or DVI output terminal, such as a DVD player, a set top box or a
game equipment, can be connected to the HDMI terminal using an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable.
About connections, see “External Equipment” (p. 48).
Note
HDMI is the world’s fi rst complete digital consumer AV interface complying with a non-compression standard.
•
If the external equipment has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI1 terminal via a DVI to HDMI adapter
•
cable (∗2).
When the DVI to HDMI adapter cable is used, connect the audio cable to the audio input terminal (HDMI1: use
•
COMPONENT-AUDIO terminals).
Audio settings can be made on the “HDMI1 Input” menu screen. (p. 26)
•
Applicable audio signal sampling frequencies (2ch L.PCM): 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz
•
HDMI2 terminal is for digital audio signal only.
•
Use with a PC is not assumed.
•
If the connected equipment has an aspect adjustment function, set the aspect ratio to “16:9”.
•
These HDMI connectors are “type A”.
•
These HDMI connectors are compatible with HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) copyright
•
protection.
An equipment having no digital output terminal may be connected to the input terminal of either “COMPONENT”,
•
“S-VIDEO”, or “VIDEO” to receive analogue signals.
The HDMI input terminal can be used with only the following image signals:
•
480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p. Match the output setting of the digital equipment.
For details of the applicable HDMI signals, see p. 52.

Updating the DVB software
From time to time, a new version of software for DVB mode may become available for download to enhance the
performance or operations of the TV.
A notifi cation banner will appear when you tune to one of the BBC channels, or you can search for a new version
software by using the “System Update Search Now” function (p. 31).
To start downloading press “OK”, this may take up to 20 minutes to
complete.
Do you really want to update the software and reboot the system?
To ignore the new software press “EXIT”, but this banner will keep
appearing during the period of new software availability, usually 2 to 3 days.
To download any new software automatically, ensure that the “Auto Update Search in Standby” function in the
System Update menu is set to “On” (p. 31).
The TV will then download new software automatically at night if it is left in standby without any timer programme
in progress.
Note
During software download and update, DO NOT switch off the TV.
