Digital Switchover for Terrestrial broadcasts

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.

•

Users of cable or satellite boxes 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 digital signals may be relatively low in some

•

cases, despite good reception of analogue programmes.

software is downloaded in the background to enable the teletext function. This means that when switching to a digital 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 digital teletext, you will ﬁ nd there is a short delay when

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.

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 set top box or a DVD player, can be connected to the HDMI terminal using an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable. About connections, see “External Equipment” (p. 56).

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 / 3 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 / HDMI3: use AV3 audio terminals). Audio settings can be made on the “HDMI1 / 3 Input” menu screen. (p. 29)

•

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. 61.

Updating the TV software

From time to time, a new version of software may become available for download to enhance the performance or operations of the TV.

■

To download from a notiﬁ cation banner

A notiﬁ cation banner will appear when you search for a new version software by using the “System Update Search Now” function (p. 37). In freesat mode, a notiﬁ cation banner will appear when the TV Guide is exited if a new available software is found. In DVB mode, a notiﬁ cation banner will appear when one of the BBC channels is tuned if a new available software is found.

To start downloading press “OK”, this may take up to 20 minutes to complete. 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
