I n formation for users in the UK
Positionin g the TV
For the best re s u l t s ,choose a position where light does not fall dire c t ly on the scre e n ,
and at some distance aw ay from radiators or other sources of heat.L e ave a space of at
least 5 cm all around the TV for ventilation,making sure that curtains,cupboards etc.
cannot obstruct the air flow through the ventilation apertures.
The TV is intended for use in a domestic env i ronment only and should never be
operated or stored in excessively hot or humid atmospheres.
General Points
Please take note of the section entitled 'Tips' at the end of this booklet.
Interference
The Department of Trade and Industry operates a Radio Interfe rence Investigation Service to
help TV licence holders improve reception of BBC and IBA programmes where they are being
spoilt by interfe re n c e.
If your dealer cannot help,ask at a main Post Office for the booklet "How to Improve
Television and Radio Reception".
Mains connection
B e fo re connecting the TV to the mains,check that the mains supply voltage corre s p o n d s
to the voltage printed on the type plate on the rear panel of the T V.If the mains vo l t a g e
is diffe re n t ,consult your dealer.
Important
This apparatus is fitted with an ap p roved moulded 13 Amp plug.To change a fuse in this
type of plug proceed as follows:
1.Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2.Fit new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A,A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3.Refit the fuse cover.
In order to maintain conformity to the EMC directive,the mains plug on this product
must not be removed.
(Not applicable outside the UK)
ß
Connecting the aerial
The aerial should be connected to the socket marked M at the back of the set.An
i n ferior aerial is like ly to result in a poor,p e r h aps unstable picture with ghost images on
analogue channels. M a ke-shift loft or set-top aerials may not give best re s u l t s .Yo u r
dealer will know from experience the most suitable type for your locality.
Should you wish to use the set in conjunction with other equipment,which connects
to the aerial socket such as TV games,or a video camera it is recommended that these
be connected via a combiner unit to avoid repeated connection and disconnection of
the aerial plug.
Fitting the stand (if provided)
Use only the stand provided with the set, making sure that the fixings are properly
t i g h t e n e d .A diagram showing how to assemble the stand is packed with the stand.N eve r
use a make-shift stand,or legs fixed with woodscrews.
Recycling directive
Your TV set uses materials which are reusable or which can be recycled.
To minimise the amount of waste in the environment,specialist companies recover
used sets for dismantling and collection of reusable materials (consult your dealer).
