Important information regarding the digital TV switchover

Television in the UK is going digital, bringing us all more choice and new services. Starting late
2007 and ending in 2012, television services in the UK will go completely digital, TV region by TV region.

How the switchover affects your TV equipment.

Your new TV has a digital tuner built in, which means it is ready to receive the Freeview signal by simply
connecting it into your aerial socket (you can check if you can get digital TV through your aerial now or
whether you will have to wait until the switchover at www.digitaluk.co.uk)

When the TV switchover happens in your area, there are at least two occasions when you will need to re-tune
your TV in order to continue receiving your existing TV channels and also to pick up new ones. Digital UK, the
body leading the digital switchover, will advise you when you need to retune during the switchover.

How to retune.

Retuning your TV is a very quick and simple process. We recommend that you retune
every few months to ensure you are receiving the very latest TV and radio channels
that are broadcast.

• In digital/freeview mode, on the remote control press ‘menu’ quickly followed by 8-8-8-8 (so
press the number 8 four times)

• You will now enter the ‘First time installation’ mode. (if you do not, please refer to the section
called ‘getting started’ later in this user guide)

• Simply press ‘OK’ or ‘Enter’ on the remote control and your TV will retune.

If you do not retune your TV when advised to do so by Digital UK, you may lose some or all of your channels
until you do re-tune.

If you are missing any channels, it may be that they are not available in your area, or that your TV aerial
needs upgrading.

For help and support regarding the digital switchover, please contact Digital UK:

Telephone: [phone] (calls charged at local call rate, approx 3p per minute daytime or 1p per minute evenings from a BT landline)
Digital UK website: www.digitaluk.co.uk

If you require technical or warranty support on this television, please contact the manufacturer helpline, do
not contact Digital UK unless your query is regarding the digital switchover.

REMOVING THE STAND & WALL MOUNTING

9

GETTING STARTED - INITIAL SET UP

TUNING IN

IMPORTANT — Please ensure the TV has
reached room temperature before
connecting the power for the first time

1) Connect the mains lead to your electrical outlet

2) Connect the RF cable supplied to the
'RF IN' on the rear of the TV and connect

the other end of the cable to your TV Aerial outlet

3) Switch on the television using the rocker switch

located on the rear of the TV

4) Install batteries in the remote control and press

the [STANDBY] button to turn on the TV.

The ‘First Time Installation’ menu should
now appear. If it does not, please press
[LCD-MENU] then 8-8-8-8 and the menu will
appear.

5) Press [OK] on the remote control whilst ‘OK’
is highlighted on screen.

Tuning will now take place.

If the TV finds some, but not all, of the Digital channels, the TV is

functioning correctly but the signal being received is not strong enough.

(The signal strength needs to be above 85% - you can see the signal strength

the TV is receiving when you change channels/ programmes) you will

need to increase the signal reception in order to recieve all of the channels

available. The most economical way to do this is by purchasing

and connecting a 'signal booster' in between the TV and the TV aerial socket.

If this does not solve the problem, you will need to upgrade the TV

aerial to a digital hi-gain compatible aerial

IMPORTANT - AFTER TUNING DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS FOR 20 SECONDS SO THE CHANNEL

INFORMATION CAN BE STORED.

information and codes.

For codes for Sky/Sky+Sky HD, please note that at the
point of manufacture, BSkyB have not launched the

Please check our website for updates, alternatively,
see below some alternative options of remote controls
that are available.

One for All Sky Originals

The One for All remote controls shown above will operate
all of the functions of the Sky box in the same way the
original remote control will, in addition, they will also

CONNECTING A GAMES CONSOLE

Connecting a games console can
sometimes seem very difficult. We have
simplified it to three options depending
on the cables that you have.

Option 1 – Connecting via Scart
to AV adapter

If you are supplied with a cable from the
console which has YELLOW,
RED & WHITE connectors you must
connect via a SCART to AV adapter
(Some console include this)

TV source should be set to SCART.

Option 2 – Connecting via HDMI cable

If you are supplied with a HDMI cable is
the easiest option. A HDMI cable can
output both video and audio and enables
you to enjoy digital-quality video and
audio with minimal loss of picture quality.

TV Source should be set to HDMI.

Option 3 – Connecting via Component
cable

If you are supplied with a cable from the
console which has RED, GREEN, BLUE,
RED & WHITE connectors you must
connect via Component (for picture)
and by phono (for sound).

Inputs (YPbPr)

L/R Audio Input

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

If you are still experiencing problems please contact the Helpline

Customer Support/Technical Helpline

Sky Media UK LTD

Telephone: [phone]

Email: [email protected]

Visit our web site www.skymediauk.co.uk for further Trouble shooting

and frequently asked questions.

Question:

Solution:

I have tuned in Digital TV but
I am not receiving any or all of the
channels and/or the channels I receive
are breaking up

The sound quality is high pitched?

I have connected the TV to my VCR via
SCART but it is not recording

1) Check you are in an area that can
receive Freeview. Visit
www.freeview.co.uk or call
08701 111 270.

2) Check you are using an aerial that is
able to receive a good digital signal. In
most cases, you will need an outdoor
digital hi-gain/wideband aerial. In areas
that have excellent Freeview coverage,
you may be able to use a loft type aerial
but it is highly likely that you will also
need to connect a booster between the
back of the TV and the TV aerial wall
socket. Unfortunately, to receive a good
enough digital signal, it is not possible to
use a portable/indoor type aerial.
This may change once the analogue
signal is switched off in 2012 and the
Digital signal strength is increased.

Go into the sound settings menu as
shown earlier in the manual and increase
the level of the bass and decrease
the treble

In addition to connecting via SCART, you
should connect the aerial cable from the
wall socket to VCR and another aerial
cable from the VCR to the TV
