permanently turned off, it will not be possible to recover them.

(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.

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 licensed contractor to secure
the wall-hanging brackets. Any damage caused by installing without a qualified installer will void your warranty.
Carefully read the instructions accompanying optional accessories, and be sure to take steps to prevent the TV from falling off.
Handle the TV carefully during installation since subjecting it to impact or other forces may cause product damage
which will void your warranty.
Do not mount the unit directly below ceiling lights (such as spotlights or halogen lights) which typically give off high
heat. Doing so may warp or damage plastic cabinet parts.
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 extended period of time.

As soon as you switch to a digital channel with links to a teletext service, software is downloaded in the background
to enable the teletext function. This means that when switching to a digital channel, 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, it will be ignored and you will have to press the TEXT button again when the download
is complete.
While navigating digital teletext, you will find 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.

Timer Programming
Timer Programming from Menu
The Timer Programming menu allows you to choose programmes that you wish to set a remind for watching or to
record to an external recorder. At the correct time, the TV will tune to the correct channel automatically to record even if
the TV is in Standby mode.
TV Guide may also be used to set timer programming event (p. 21).
Timer Programming can store up to 15 events.
For recording using Timer Programming, the TV must be either On or in standby. For reminders to be displayed, the
TV must be On.
No other channel can be selected while the recording of Timer Programming is in progress.
It may not be possible to record an encrypted programme (which is copy-protected).
When recording programmes to the external recorder, be sure to make the proper settings on the recorder connected
to the TV.
If a compatible recorder with Q-Link or similar technologies is connected to the TV (p. 62) and the [Link Settings]
(p. 32, 33) are correct, no setting of the recorder is required. Also read the manual of the recorder.
If the recorder is not compatible with Q-Link or similar technologies, set the timer of the recorder in addition to the
Timer Programming on the TV. For preparations of a recorder, read the manual of the recorder.
Recordings are always in standard definition composite video via SCART, even if the original programme is in high
definition.

Technical Information
Auto mode
Auto mode determines the best aspect ratio to fill the screen using a four step process (WSS, Control signal through
SCART / HDMI terminal, Letterbox detection or Justify to fill the screen).
This process may take several minutes, depending on the darkness of the image.
Letterbox detection:
If black bands at the top and bottom of the screen are detected, Auto mode chooses the best ratio and expands the
image to fill the screen.
If no aspect signals are detected, Auto mode enhances the image for optimum viewing pleasure.
Control signal
through SCART (pin8) /
HDMI terminal
Note
The ratio varies depending on the programme, etc. If the ratio is out of the standard 16:9, black bands at the top and
bottom of the screen may appear.
If the screen size looks unusual when a widescreen-recorded programme is played back on a VCR, adjust the
tracking of the VCR. Read the manual of the VCR.

Maintenance
First, remove the mains plug from the socket outlet.
Display panel, Cabinet, Pedestal
Regular care:
Gently wipe the surface of the display panel,
cabinet, or pedestal by using a soft cloth to clean the
dirt or fingerprints.
Caution
Do not use a hard cloth or rub the surface too hard, otherwise this may cause scratches on the surface.
Take care not to subject the TV’s surfaces to water or detergent. Liquid inside the TV could lead to product failure.
Take care not to subject the surfaces to insect repellent, solvent, thinner or other volatile substances. This may
degrade surface quality or cause peeling of the paint.
The surface of the display panel is specially treated and may be easily damaged. Take care not to tap or scratch the
surface with your fingernail or other hard objects.
Do not allow the cabinet and pedestal to make contact with a rubber or PVC substance for a long time. This may
degrade surface quality.
For stubborn dirt:
First clean the dust on the surface. Dampen a soft cloth with
clean water or diluted neutral detergent (1 part detergent to 100
parts water). Wring the cloth and wipe the surface. Finally, wipe
away all the moisture.
Mains plug
Wipe the mains plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. Moisture and dust may lead to fire or electrical shock.
