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. Any damage caused by installing without a qualified installer will void your warranty.

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.

Using TV Guide

TV Guide Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) provides an on screen listing of the programmes currently broadcast and the forthcoming broadcasts over the next seven days (depending on the broadcasters).

This TV supports the GUIDE Plus+ system.

The Gemstar branding partner will supply the rating informations in the programme information and the recommended group in the Search list.

DVB and Analogue channels are displayed on the same TV Guide screen. “D” means DVB channel and “A” means Analogue channel. There will be no programme listings for Analogue channels.

When this TV is turned on for the first time, or the TV is switched off for more than a week, it may take some time before the TV Guide is completely shown.

Digital teletext services differ greatly from analogue teletext.

When you switch to a digital teletext service, the images you see can contain graphics and text, laid out and controlled in a manner decided by the broadcaster.

			In all cases, it is possible to navigate the pages using buttons on the
TEXT			remote control, but because the commands available must apply to all
			manufacturers of digital equipment, some on screen commands may
	abc	def	not correspond exactly to the remote control buttons.
			For example:

		TV			Note
					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
