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

Please ensure that the aerial is connected to the connector
labelled ‘ RF In ’ on the rear of the TV .Ensure that OK is

• 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)

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

measures:
• Re-orient or relocate the receiving antenna.

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
¿ rst removed the fuse, to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains
supply.

CONNECTING THE TV
WARNING! ENSURE THE TV AND ALL ANCILLARY EQUIPMENT IS UNPLUGGED
FROM THE MAINS BEFORE MAKING ANY CONNECTIONS!

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
DQGLQVWDOODVLJQDODPSOL¿Hr.
• 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
other option. Connecting more than one option may cause interference.
HDMI lead
You can connect this TV to a compatible device using a HDMI lead. This method will give the best
picture.
Connect the cable from the HDMI equipment to the TV HDMI socket.
SCART lead
You can connect this TV to a compatible device using a SCART lead. The connection uses
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.

will be notified by Digital UK when your region switches.
1) Press [LCD-MENU] then 8-8-8-8. The first time
installation menu will appear
2) Press [OK] on the remote control whilst 'OK' is

Once you have connected a 'Signal booster' you will need
Connect between TV and TV
Aerial socket
Signal Booster
to retune the TV in order to receive all of the channels.
Tuning will now take place.
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

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?
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 have a suitable aerial.
Many indoor aerials will say they are
digital ready, but you will not get
a good signal
3) Consider purchasing a signal booster,
it is much cheaper than a digital aerial
and cures 70% of poor signal problems.
4) Failing the above for now use the
analogue TV, until the signal becomes
stronger in your area.
For best performance we recommend using an
outdoor hi-gain digital aerial. If you are receiving
some digital stations first try to connect a signal
booster in between the TV and TV aerial socket
Go into the sound settings menu as
shown earlier in the manual and increase
the level of the bass and decrease
the treble
I have inserted a disc but it is not playing
The subtitles are switched on
when I am watching a DVD
I have connected the TV to my VCR via
SCART but it is not recording
If you are still experiencing problems please contact the Helpline
Customer Support/Technical Helpline
Telephone: 0871 2000 463
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’.
Each time you press [Subtitles] button
you switch between the different languages.
Off is one of the options. If you still have
subtitle on, access through the DVD disc
menu and switch off
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
