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

UK

• 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:

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.

Dispose of this television and any components including batteries in an environmentally friendly
manner. If in doubt, please contact your local authority for details of recycling.

Your LCD TV should be cleaned using a dry or slightly damp cloth. You should not use an alcohol
based cleaner

Safety

For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a fused moulded 3 pin mains plug. Should the fuse need
to be replaced, ensure that any replacement is of the same amperage and approved with
the BSI mark. ( )

Never try and replace the mains plug unless you have adequate qualifications and are legally
authorised to do so. In the event that a replacement Mains cable is required, contact
the manufacturer for a suitable replacement.

Never use the television if it is damaged in any way.

Always place the television on a flat level surface avoiding anywhere which may be subject to strong

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.

Getting Started - Initial Set Up

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)

IMPORTANT: If your TV signal is inadequate to receive a good Digital signal, you will need to connect
a 'Signal booster' between your TV and TV Aerial Socket. See section 5.

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.
