Important
This TV generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with these instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communication.
However, this is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If the TV
does cause harmful interference to electrical devices, which can be determined by turning the
TV off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following
measures:
• Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the external device and the TV.
• Connect the external device into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the TV is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
Mains Supply
The mains operating voltage is detailed on the rating plate on the rear of the TV.
The mains lead on this equipment may be supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse.
Should the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA or BSI approved BS1362 fuse must be used of
the same rating. If the fuse cover is detachable never use the plug with the cover removed. If a
replacement fuse cover is required, ensure it is of the same colour as that visible on the pin face of
the plug. If there is no alternative to cutting off the mains plug, dispose of it immediately, having
fi rst removed the fuse, to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains
supply.

co-axial plug. For best results use a high gain TV aerial,
preferably roof or loft mounted.
• To improve picture quality in a poor signal area, purchase
and install a signal amplifi er.
• If the antenna needs to be split for two TVs, use a 2-Way
Signal Splitter (not supplied).
Connecting External Devices
The Quick Start Guide shows the simplest and most effective
way of connecting your TV to ancillary equipment. Alternate
methods are listed below.
NOTE: The TV will connect through the HDMI cable by default. Only use the HDMI cable and one

component video signals, i.e. the red, green and blue (RGB) content of the video are sent on
separate signals.
VGA cable
You can use your TV as a monitor for your personal computer by using a VGA cable. Sound from
your personal computer may also be played through the TV.
This requires the audio output of the personal computer to be connected to the Audio Input socket
(PC) of the TV.
S-Video lead
You can connect this TV to a compatible device using an S-VIDEO lead.
