MAINS CONNECTION AND REMOTE BATTERIES

MAINS CONNECTION

The TV is suitable for use on a.c. mains supply, 220-240V, 50 Hz only. It must not be connected to d. c. mains. NOTE : The mains lead of the TV is ﬁtted with a moulded plug. If the mains sockets are not compatible or if for any reason the plug is removed please follow these directions : The moulded plug cannot be rewired and if removed must be disposed of safely.

5A fuse

DO NOT under any circumstances plug the severed plug into any mains socket as this could result in electric shock. IMPORTANT : If the plug is removed rewire new plug as follows : The wires in the mains plug are coloured in accordance with the following code : BLUE - NEUTRAL BROWN - LIVE As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows :

BLUE wire to the terminal coded N (Neutral) or coloured black.

BROWN wire to the terminal coded L (Live) or coloured red. DO NOT make any connection to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the letter E or by the safety earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow. A fused plug must be ﬁtted with a 5A fuse approved by ASTA or BSI to BS 1362 and fuse covers must always be securely replaced.

REMOTE BATTERIES

The remote control requires two batteries size AAA as supplied with the unit. Unclip the cover at the rear and insert the batteries the correct way round as shown. The ends are usually marked + and –. Replace the batteries when the unit no longer operates at normal viewing distances. For a clearer environment, please dispose of used batteries in the containers provided for this purpose.

NOTE

When replacing batteries do not mix old and new - do not mix makes and types. Alkaline types are recommended for long life. Never risk damage to the remote control by extreme heat - do not leave close to a radiator or on a window ledge in direct sunshine.

NICAM (Near Instantaneous Companded Audio Multiplex) digital audio.

The digital signal broadcast together with the existing sound and pictures of terrestrial television are decoded by this receiver to enable high quality stereo sound to be reproduced with advantages similar to those of compact discs. i. e. extended dynamic range and channel separation with low noise and low distortion. These are considerable benefits compared with the current standard system. The digital channel separation will allow the Broadcasters to transmit dual languages as an alternative feature after the service is established.

You will be able to take full advantage of this exciting new facility. The increase in overall realism and ambience created by this new dimension in television sound will bring increased viewing enjoyment to all forms of programme material-to sport as well as the more obvious advantages to all forms of musical entertainment.

In the absence of NICAM signals or if the NICAM signal becomes extremely weak, the receiver will select the standard system automatically.

The standard signal can also be chosen by selecting the mono mode using the appropriate IMC on-screen graphics display. This is known as forced mono.

This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.

Do read the Operating Instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.

Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug when making or changing connections.

Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.

Don’t continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally or if it is damaged in any way–switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.

Don’t remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.

Don’t obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings. Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.

Don’t listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your hearing.

Don’t use makeshift stands and NEVER ﬁx legs with wood screws–to ensure complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs, with the ﬁxings provided, according to the instructions.

Don’t allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.

ABOVE ALL

NEVER let anyone especially children push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case–this could result in a fatal electric shock.

NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind–it is better to be safe than sorry.

WARNING: Do not use cleaning agents containing ethyl alcohol, such as methylated spirits.

This equipment should be switched to standby when it is unattended for a few hours. This can be done using the remote control. However, for long periods of absence, switch off at the on/off switch on the front of the TV so that the red indicator light goes out. Make sure that your family know how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for inﬁrm or handicapped people.
