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).

Introduction

Tips

Poor reception (in analogue mode)

The proximity of high buildings may be
responsible for ghost pictures,echoing or
shadows.In this case, try manually adjusting
your picture:see "fine tuning" (p.6) or change
the orientation of the outside aerial.In the
event of difficult reception (snowy picture)
switch the NOISE.REDUCT on the FEATURES
menu to ON.(p.7).

Bad picture (in digital mode)

If the picture freezes a lot,or in cases of block
effect,there is a problem of poor reception.
Please check with the signal strenght menu
(see p.8).
Depending on the strength of digital terre s t r i a l
signals available in your are a ,s t a n d a rd aerials used
for analogue transmissions will in most cases
p rovide satisfactory reception of digital signals.I n
g e n e r a l ,set top and communal aerials will not
g i ve satisfactory re s u l t s ,best performance and
stability of digital signals can be achieved if a high­quality aerial and wiring is installed.
If reception problems are experienced with a
s t a n d a rd aerial,a good quality,n a rrow beam
antenna should be pro fe s s i o n a l ly installed outside
the pro p e rty and aligned to cap t u re the maximu m
digital signal stre n g t h .Loft antenna's can be used
w h e re an outside installation is not possible,
h oweve r,c a re should be taken to mount the loft
antenna as high as possible and as far aw ay fro m
house wiring as possible.Aerial amplifiers should
o n ly be used when absolutely necessary.D o u b l e
s c reen coaxial cable should be installed betwe e n
the aerial and television re c e i ver and positioned to
avoid close proximity to house wiring.T h e
t e l evision re c e i ver should be connected dire c t ly to
the coaxial cable,rather than routing the signal
first through other pro d u c t s .

No picture

Picture adjustment

If the picture is not adjusted properly or if you
have trouble obtaining a clear picture,select

one of the smart control presets È (p.8) and

Remote control

control;the indicator on the set no longer
flashes when you use the remote control?
Replace the batteries.
Press the TV key to be sure your remote
control is in the TV mode

Standby

When you switch the TV set on it remains in
s t a n d by and the indication LOCKED is displaye d
when you use the keys on the TV set? The
CHILD LOCK function is switched on (p.7).
If the set receives no signal for 15 mins,it
automatically goes into standby mode.
The set consumes energy when it is switched
on.To save electricity,we recommend that you
switch the TV set off using the ON/OFF key.

Still no results?

If your TV set breaks down, never attempt to
repair it yourself:contact your dealer's after­sales service.
