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

Language
Please ensure that the aerial is connected to the connector

to a high gain digital version .

• 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:

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.

• 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.

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.

English
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
