Extra Sound Settings (depending on the model)
The following sound settings can be adjusted to suit your personal
preferences.
◆ Auto volume
Each broadcasting station has its own signal conditions,
and so it is not easy for you to adjust the volume every
time the channel is changed. “Auto volume” lets you
automatically adjust the volume of the desired channel by
lowering the sound output when the modulation signal is
high or by raising the sound output when the modulation
signal is low.
◆ Melody
You can hear clear melody sound when the TV is
powered ON or OFF.
◆ Pseudo stereo / Virtual surround
“Pseudo stereo” converts a monaural sound signal into
two identical left and right channels.
Once the “Pseudo stereo” or “Virtual surround” is set to
“On” or “Off”, the setting applies to the sound effects
such as Standard, Music, Movie and Speech.

Wiring the Mains Power Supply Plug (UK Only)
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse. The value of the fuse is
indicated on the pin face of the plug and, if it requires replacing, a fuse approved to BSI1362 of the same rating must
be used.
Never use the plug with the fuse cover omitted if the cover is detachable. If a replacement fuse cover is required,
it must be of the same colour as the pin face of the plug. Replacement covers are available from your dealer.
lf the fitted plug is not suitable for the power points in your house or, the cable is not long enough to reach a power
point, you should obtain a suitable safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer for assistance.
However, if there is no alternative to cutting off the plug, remove the fuse and then safely dispose of the plug.
DO NOT connect the plug to a mains socket as there is a risk of shock hazard from the bared flexible cord.
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code :
BLUE - NEUTRAL - BROWN - LIVE
As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as
follows :
The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured BLUE or BLACK.
The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured BROWN or RED.
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO THE EARTH TERMINAL WHICH IS MARKED WITH THE
LETTER E OR, BY THE EARTH SYMBOL , OR COLOURED GREEN OR GREEN AND YELLOW.
