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.

PROGRAMME ORGANIZER

PR 01 CH22

This set is equipped with an automatic search system which will search and store all channels
available in your region. To help identify the programmes, we suggest that you have to hand a TV
guide or daily newspaper.

Ensure that the aerial lead is connected to the television and any VCR or SAT equipment that is
connected via the antenna is turned on but do not switch on if also/only connected to a Scart/AV
input.

If your VCR is connected by RF cable and not by Scart and if you do not find the VCR output through
autoprogramming, then go to manual programme set up menu and set the channel to 36 or 60 and
use fine tune up and down until the VCR output is found. Ounce found then memorise the frequency
against your chosen programme number (eg. 9).
