Important Information Regarding Use of Video Games, Computers,
Captions or Other Fixed Image Displays
The extended use of fi xed image program material can cause a permanent “shadow image” on the LCD
panel.
This background image is viewable on normal programs in the form of a stationary fi xed image. This type
of irreversible LCD/LED panel deterioration can be limited by observing the following steps:
1. Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum viewing level.
2. Do not display the fi xed image for extended periods of time.
3. Turn the power off when not in actual use.
Examples of images that you need to watch out for are as follows (this is not an exhaustive list):
TV Channel Logos: e.g. Shopping channel logos and pricing displays-especially if they are •
bright and stationary. Moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely to cause ageing of the screen.
Time Displays•
Teletext: Do not view a stationary page for long period of time•
TV/DVD Menus: e.g. Listings of DVD disk content•
Pause Mode: Do not leave the TV in pause mode for long periods of time, e.g. When watching DVDs or •
videos.
Important - Once ‘shadow image/screen burn’ occurs, it will never disappear and is not repairable under
warranty.

1) To remove the base, press close and rotate 45 degrees.
2) Remove the 2 screws highlighted
3) Remove the screw/s in the neck of
the stand (where fi tted)
IMPORTANT - Before drilling any holes in the wall ensure you are not drilling
where there could be any electric wires, water or gas pipes.
Wall mounting the TV
1) Remove the four screws highlighted below.
2) The wall mount can now be easily attached to the mounting holes on the rear of the TV. These holes
are indicated in the picture below.
fi g 1
Viewing angle
For optimum viewing, if wall mounting the TV
higher than eye level, the TV should be tilted
downwards so that the TV’s screen is ‘face on’.
See fi g 1 and 2
Important – If wall mounting this TV, only
use the screws already provided in the wall
mounting holes. Using other screws which
are longer could cause irreparable damage to
internal parts.
IMPORTANT NOTE. Occasionally we may release new software/firmware upgrades/enhancements
for this television. Please check the ‘firmware upgrade’ section of the website regularly.
1) Using the RF cable supplied, connect the TV
to the TV Aerial wall socket (Fig A)

Fig B
4) Insert the batteries supplied into the
Remote control and press the Standby
button to power on the TV
6) After tuning the following screen will
appear.
If you are missing channels, the reason for this is likely to be signal strength, you should
consider connecting signal booster and re-tuning the TV.
Tip: If the TV fi nds 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 receive 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

remote control.
For codes for universal remote controls, please visit our website where you will fi nd the very latest
information and codes. For codes for Sky/Sky+/Sky HD, please note that at the point of manufacture,
BSkyB have not launched the code required for this model of TV. They are due to launch a new remote

2) Use the 3.5mm headphone output and a 3.5mm to phono cable
(available separately) to connect to an amplifi er/surround sound system
Some options are only available in certain sources, i.e. HDMI, PC/VGA.
They are unavailable in the other sources where they have no affect.
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.
Complete a fi rst time installation, please refer to the set-up menu section
of the manual of how to do this
1) Ensure you have inserted put the disc in facing the correct way forward
2) Ensure the disc is clean and is not scratched
3) Some copied discs will not play.
4) Check the DVD is a region 2 disc – to change the region of the DVD
player, refer to section ‘Changing Regions’.
In addition to connecting via SCART, you should connect the aerial cable
from the wall socket to your VCR/DVD Recorder and another aerial cable
from the VCR/DVD Recorder to the TV
1) Ensure the TVs source is on HDMI
2) Check your settings on your PS3 are as per the PS3 instruction manual
Component cables only provide HD Pictures. For the sound you will need
to connect the Red & White audio cables on the Xbox to the Red & White
phono inputs on the rear of the TV. Please refer to the ‘Connections’
pages.

DIGITAL 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.
1) On the remote control press [MENU] followed by 8 - 8 - 8 - 8 (so the number 8 button four times)
2) The First Time Installation menu will appear. Press [OK] and tuning will take place.
For help and support regarding the digital switchover, please contact Digital UK:
Telephone: 08456 50 50 50 (calls charged at local call rate, approx 3p per minute daytime or 1p per minute
evenings from a BT landline)
