Analogue and Digital television --- what are they?

Analoguetransmissionisthesystem thathas beenused formanyyearsforbroadcastingtelevisionprogrammes.Withcontinuous
improvements intechnologyitis nowpossibletotransmit programmesinadigital format,allowingclearerpictures,morestations
and other services to be displayed on screen. Digital television is provided in three different ways; it can be sent along a cable
connection directtoyourhouse,broadcastfromasatellite,or broadcast using traditional land based (terrestrial) transmitters. The
first two options require youtohavean extra ‘set topbox’ decoder and in the case of satellite, a receiving dish mounted outdoors.
Whileallowingyoutoreceive traditional analoguetransmissionsin the usual way,this television can alsoreceive terrestrialdigital
services using an integrated (Digital Video Broadcasting) decoder.Thisallowsyou to enjoy the new era of digital terrestrial
television, including interactive services, without the need for a ‘set top box’ or satellite dish --- an adequate roof or loft mounted
antenna is all you need.

The signal quality function displays an indication of signal
quality for each DVB programme position.
The DVB system requires a good quality signal to provide
the best picture. When viewing analogue pictures,
interference such as signal reflection from nearby buildings
ormountainscauses‘ghosting’,but stillprovidesaviewable
picture. For the DVB system, interference such as this can
disrupt the flow of data causing the picture to appear to be
made up of large blocks, or to freeze intermittently. If the
picture disappears completely, this could mean that signal
quality is very poor.If this happens often, you may need to
improve your aerial system to provide a better signal.

The Common Interface Module menu provides access to
functions contained on a Common Interface Module
inserted into the CI slot, located at the rear of the TV. See

DVB teletext services differ greatly from analogue teletext. When you switch to a DVB teletext service, the images you see can
contain graphics and text, laid out and controlledin a manner decided by the broadcaster. In all cases, it is possible to navigate
the pages using buttons on the remote control, but because the commands available must apply to all manufacturers of DVB
equipment, some on---screen commands may not correspond exactly to the remote control buttons. For example:

D For the on---screen command ‘select’or‘go’, use the OK button (1).

DVB TROUBLESHOOTING

Some problems will only occur when viewing DVB channels. Due to the different techniques involved in digital reception, DVB signal
quality can be poor even if you appear to have a strong signal when viewing analogue programmes.

The DVBsystemrequiresagood quality signal toprovidethebestpicture. When viewing analoguepictures,interference such as signal
reflectionfrom nearby buildings or mountains causes ‘ghosting’, but stillprovidesa viewable picture. For the DVB system, interference
such as this can disrupt the flow of data causing the picture to appear to be made up of large blocks, or to freeze intermittently. If the
picture disappears completely, this could mean that signal quality is very poor. If this happens often, you may need to improve your
aerial system to provide a better signal. This TV co ntains a complex microprocessor which enables you to view enhanced digital
services. Occasionally this device may need to be reset. This can be done by pressing the standby button on your remote control.

Symptom Checks

No DVB channels listed in the TV Guide after Auto Setup.

Check that DVB transmissions are available from the transmitter
you are currently using. If not, try directing the aerial at another
local transmitter .

Check analogue transmissions. If picture quality is poor, you will
need to improve or change your aerial system to receive DVB
channels. Consult a local installer.

Blocky interference.
Picture freezes intermittently.

I have a good aerial system, but still cannot receive
DVB stations.

TV

Blocky interference indicates that the signal quality is poor.
You should consider improving your aerial system.
To check the quality of your signal use the Signal Quality
feature(seepage24).
Good quality signal - -- indication is green.
Poorquality signal --- indication is red.

If you have tried the previous solutionsand are still unable to
receive DVB channels, you may need to provide dedicated
aerial feeds to the TV and other equipment.
This can be implemented using an aerial
splitter or separate aerials.
