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 08456 50 50 50 or visit www.digitaluk.co.uk Digital Switchover will cover a period of several weeks. When it starts you will lose all Analogue TV channels and some Digital TV channels will be missing. You will need to retune your TV each time this happens to recover your digital channels. Analogue channels are permanently turned off, it will not be possible to recover them.

To retune your TV

 “Auto Setup” in “DVB Tuning Menu”-DVB mode (p. 34)

Users of cable or satellite boxes should still retune the TV to continue to receive Freeview channels via their aerial. (Your Analogue channel 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 channels.

Eco Mode

Warning

Using other wall-hanging brackets, or installing a wall-hanging bracket by yourself has the risk of personal  injury and product damage. In order to maintain the unit’s performance and safety, be sure to ask your dealer or a licenced contractor to secure the wall-hanging brackets.

Take care when fixing wall brackets to the wall. Wall mounted equipment must not be grounded by metal  within the wall. Always ensure that there are no electrical cables or pipes in the wall before hanging bracket. To prevent fall and injury, remove the TV from its fixed wall position when it is no longer in use for an


