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)

First Time Installation

Country

Language

Please ensure that the aerial is connected to the connector

labelled ‘ RF In ’ on the rear of the TV .Ensure that OK is highlighted in yellow and press ‘OK’ on your remote .If after this scan ,not all digital channels are found ,your aerial may

require a signal booster .alternatively ,upgrade your aerial

to a high gain digital version .

OK Cancel

English

• 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: 08456 50 50 50 (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.

First Time Installation

Unfortunately the TV did not find any channels

Please check your aerial connection

and refer to the user manual DoyouwishtoretuneyourTV

Yes Do it next time

TYPICAL SET-UP

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.

Connect between TV and TV

Aerial socket

Signal Booster

Once you have connected a 'Signal booster' you will need to retune the TV in order to receive all of the channels.

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

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.

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

TV Source should be set to HDMI.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Question:

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

Solution:

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
