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 ‘LCD 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.

Screen Burn

A characteristic of LCD TV Panels is that displaying the same image for a long time may cause a permanent after - image to remain on the screen. This is called screen burn. Most pictures shown on your TV will be constantly moving and fill the screen.

Examples of images that you need to watch out for are as follows (this is not an all-inclusive 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 periods 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.

Note: To prevent screen burn, if viewing any of the above for long periods of time, reduce contrast and brightness when viewing. Once burn-in occurs it will never disappear completely.

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

CHANNEL INFORMATION CAN BE STORED.

TUNING IN

1) Using the RF Cable supplied, connect the TV to the TV Aerial socket (Fig A)

Fig B

Fig A

It is highly unlikely you will receive any/all of the digital channels using an indoor/portable TV aerial. You should use a Digital/Hi Gain outdoor aerial for optimum signal reception.

2) Connect the Power cable to your electrical outlet and the Television (Fig B above)

3) Switch on the television using the power switch located next to the DVD player

4) Insert the batteries supplied into the Remote control and press the Power/Standby button to power on the TV

Satety WarningsIntroducing the LCD TVInstalling the LCD TVUsing The FeaturesTroubleshootingSpecifications

5) 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 strength 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

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.
