Guide link programming (Timer Programming from the TV Guide signal)

Guide link programming is Timer Programming which is controlled by information from the TV Guide; if programme start and end times are changed by the broadcaster, the timer programming event will follow the change. A Split Programme programming is a Guide link programming which is interrupted by one or more other programmes. Note that Guide link programming (including Split Programme programming) only works reliably if correct information is received from broadcasters.

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.

To enjoy 3D images safely and comfortably, please read these instructions fully.

Warning

Take care■

To help avoid risk of fire, damage, injury or discomfort, please follow the warnings below:

Do not disassemble or modify the 3D Eyewear.● Incorrect replacement of battery may cause the danger of explosion, leakage and corrosion of battery.● Battery must not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire, etc.● Pay special attention when children are using the 3D Eyewear. ● The 3D Eyewear should not be used by children younger than 5 - 6 years old, as a guideline. All children must be fully supervised by parents or guardians to ensure their safety and health while using the 3D Eyewear. Do not use the 3D Eyewear if you have a history of over-sensitivity to light, heart problems, or have any other ● existing medical conditions.

Small object■

The 3D Eyewear contains possibly dangerous parts that can be breathed in or swallowed by young

children accidentally.

Keep the small parts (battery and support band, etc.) out of reach of young children.●

Caution

Placement and conditions for viewing 3D images

■

Do not use the 3D Eyewear near the devices or objects that emit infrared (ex. remote control, fireplace, stove, ● etc.), as this may cause the 3D Eyewear to mis-operate. Do not use devices (such as mobile phones or personal transceivers) that emit strong electromagnetic waves ● near the 3D Eyewear as this may cause the 3D Eyewear to malfunction. Do not use the 3D Eyewear at a distance less than the recommended distance.● The recommended viewing distance is 3 times of image height. TX-P42VT20B: 1.6 m or more / TX-P46VT20B: 1.7 m or more When the top and bottom area of the screen is blackened, such as movies, view the screen at a distance 3 times further than the height of the actual image. (That makes the distance closer than above recommended figure.) Do not use the 3D Eyewear in the condition of high temperature.●

Handling the 3D Eyewear■

Do not drop, exert pressure on, or step on the 3D Eyewear.● Be careful of the tips of the frame when putting on the 3D Eyewear.● Be careful not to trap a finger in the hinge section of the 3D Eyewear.● Do not use the 3D Eyewear if it is physically damaged.● The 3D Eyewear must only be worn when viewing 3D content.●

Viewing 3D Content■

Ensure no breakable objects are nearby to avoid any accidental damage or injury.● Be careful not to strike the TV screen or other people unintentionally. When using the 3D Eyewear the distance ● between the user and screen can be misjudged.

●

Remove the 3D Eyewear before moving around to avoid falling or accidental injury.

If having eyestrain or discomfort, etc.■

Stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately, if you feel tired, are not feeling well or experience any discomfort.● Stop using the 3D Eyewear if you can clearly see double images when viewing 3D content.● After viewing 3D contents or playing 3D games, take a short break to readjust your senses.●

Stopping the usage of the 3D Eyewear■

Stop using the 3D Eyewear immediately if a malfunction or fault occurs, or if you experience any redness, pain, ● or skin irritation around the nose or temples.

●

In rare cases, the materials used in the 3D Eyewear may cause an allergic reaction.

Note

Do not use the 3D Eyewear as sunglasses.● The 3D Eyewear will not work correctly if worn upside down or back-to-front.● If you suffer from any eyesight problems (short / far-sighted, astigmatism, eyesight differences in left and right), ● please ensure to correct your vision before using the 3D Eyewear.

●

If you do not look toward the TV screen for a while when viewing 3D images, the 3D Eyewear may be turned off automatically. 3D effects may be perceived differently depending on the person.

●

Always store the 3D Eyewear in the case provided when not in use.●

Timer Programming

Timer Programming from Menu

The Timer Programming menu allows you to choose programmes that you wish to remind watching or record to the external recorder or the USB HDD. 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. 22).

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. 94) and the “Link Settings” (p. 40) 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 “Q-Link” in the Setup Menu (p. 40) to the ● connected terminal (AV1 or AV2), and 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. When recording programmes to the USB HDD, be sure to register the USB HDD and enable it for recording in the ● “USB HDD Setup” (p. 70). Recordings are always in standard definition composite video via SCART, even if the original programme is in ● high definition.
