CAUTION

Lead Free Soldered Boards

The circuit boards listed below [Table 1] used in these models may have been processed using Lead Free Solder. The boards are identified by the LF logo located close to the board designation e.g. F1, H1 etc [ see examples ]. The servicing of these boards requires special precautions to be taken as outlined below.

MRX1 SELF DIAGNOSTIC SOFTWARE

The identification of errors within the MRX1 chassis is triggered in one of two ways :- 1: Busy or 2: Device failure to respond to IIC. In the event of one of these situations arising the software will first try to release the bus if busy (Failure to do so will report with a continuous flashing LED) and then communicate with each device in turn to establish if a device is faulty. If a device is found to be faulty the relevant device number will be displayed through the LED (Series of flashes which must be counted).

Switching On the TV and Automatically Tuning

The first time you switch on your TV, a sequence of menu screens appear on the TV enabling you to: 1) set

the clock, 2) check how to connect optional equipment to your TV, 3) search and store all available channels

(TV Broadcast) and 4) change the order in which the analogue channels (analogue TV Broadcast) appear on

the screen.

However, if you need to change any of these settings at a later date, you can do that by selecting the appropriate

option in the (Set Up menu) or by pressing the Auto Start Up button on the media receiver.

Connect the display unit and the media receiver unit to

the mains socket (220-240V AC, 50/60Hz).

The first time that the TV set is connected, it is usually turned on.

If the TV is off, press the

on/off button on the TV set to turn on

the TV.

The Clock Set menu appears on the TV screen to set the current date

and time.

Press the

button repeatedly to select each item in turn (Day, Month,

Year, Hour and Minutes) and set each item by pressing

. Finally

press OK to store it.

A diagram appears showing you how to connect a wide range of

equipment to your TV set. Follow the instructions and press the

OK button to remove the picture and continue the automatic

process.

The connection diagram should be used as a guide only as

most equipment can be connected to more than one type of

TV socket. Once the TV has completed the automatic tuning

process, refer to the ‘Connection Guide’ section on page 32

for further information on getting the best set up for your

equipment.

The Auto Tuning menu appears on the screen. Press the OK

button to select Yes.

The TV starts to automatically search and store all available

broadcast channels for you as follows:

The Digital autotune display appears on screen and the search

and store procedure begins. All the available Digital channels

will now be captured and stored. As this may take some time,

a message is included in the display to inform you of the

tuning progress.

When Digital tuning is complete, the analogue display

appears automatically and the search and store procedure for

the analogue channels begins.

• This procedure could take some minutes. Please be

patient and do not press any buttons, otherwise automatic

tuning will not be completed.

• If no Digital and no Analogue channels were found

during the auto tuning process then a new menu appears

automatically on the screen asking you to connect the

aerial. Please connect the aerial (see page 19) and press

OK. The auto tuning process will start again.

• Once all Digital and Analogue channels have been

captured and stored, the TV returns to normal operation

and displays the Digital channel captured on channel

number 1.

If no Digital channels are captured, the Analogue channel

that is stored on channel number 1 is displayed.

After all available digital and analogue channels are captured and

stored, the Programme Sorting menu automatically appears

on the screen enabling you to change the order in which the analogue

channels are stored.

This menu only appears if the TV has captured analogue

channels.

If you wish to keep the broadcast channels in the tuned order, go

to step 8.

If you wish to store the channels in a different order:

Press the

button to select the programme

number with the channel (TV Broadcast) you wish

to move. Press the

button.

Press the

button to select the new
