About this manual
This document is common to several television models. Therefore, certain functions or settings may not apply to
the model you have purchased
About the switch
The position of theON/OFF switch differs depending on the model. It may be located on the front or on the
right-hand side of your set (see the drawing inside the cover page of your manual).
About safety
To ensure your own safety and safe operation of the equipment, observe the following instructions
thoroughly.
TV sets require sufficient ventilation toprevent theircomponents from overheating, which will cause failure. Do not
block the ventilation openings at the rear.If you place your TV set in a special piece of furniture, make sure there
is enough space for unhindered air circulation. Do not place the TV set in the close vicinity of a heater.
The TV set has been designed for use in dry rooms. Should you use it, in exceptional
circumstances in the open air (example: on the balcony, in the veranda or tent), you must absolutely protect it
against moisture (dew,rain, splash water). Before switching on acold TV set in a warm room, you should wait until
any condensation in the screen has dried by itself.
Maximum ambient temperature: 35°C
Maximum humidity: 85%
By the end of your TV evening or when away from home for a longer period, we recommend that you turn off the
TV set with the On/Off-switch.
Even when the On/Off-switch is in the Off-position, your TV set is not fully disconnected from the mains. To
disconnect the set completely, the mains plug must be pulled out.
The mains plug must be easily accessible.
In the following cases, we recommend that you pull out the mains connector:
1. During a thunderstorm. Insuch a case, it is advisable that youalso disconnect the TV set from the aerial socket.
2. When odour or smoke emanates from the set.
Never attempt to open your TV set yourself.
Further information:
The TV set shielding is sufficient to prevent X-radiation to the exterior.
Any operation performed by a non skilled person, change of high voltage or replacement of the picture tube by a
model not complying with the manufacturer specification are likely to cause considerable increase in X-radiation.
A TV set modified in such a way no longer complies with the manufacturers’ specification and must not be used.

About cleaning
The screen is to be cleaned with liquid glass cleaners.
:
Never use abrasive products.
:
Clean the cabinet with a soft cloth soaked with neutral cleaner. Do not use solvents, such as white spirit or
alcohol-based cleaning products since they may damage your television.
:
At regular intervals, clean the ventilation grids at the rear of the TV set.
About degaussing
The terrestrial magnetic field may have an influence on your TV set. This influence is revealed by the coloured
spots, which appear on the screen.
Should this be the case:
:
Turn the equipment off by means of the On/Off-switch.
:
Wait about one hour before switching the set on again.
This procedure performs automatic degaussing of the screen. Should there still be coloured spots on the screen,
repeat the operation.

Basic connections
Basic connectio ns
The mains plug (1) supplies power to the television. The
television must only be plugged in to a 220-240 V - 50 Hz
power supply. It must never be plugged in to a DC source. If
the plug comes away from the lead, never attempt to plug it
in: this could cause electrocution.
Theaerial socket (2), located on the rear of the television,can
be used to connect an external aerial or other appliance
equipped with a modulator such as a VCR, satellite receiver,
etc.
If you connect an appliance to the aerial jack, you must give
it a channel number. To do this, switch on the appliance, then
use the television to find the modulator channel (see the
appliance manual). Now give it a programme number and
memorise it (see Manual Programming of channels). Then,
when you wish to use the appliance, simply select its
programme number on the television. This procedure is not
required for VCR’s not equipped with a modulator.
The SCART socket AV1 (3), located on the rear of the
television, is intended to connect a VCR or a camcorder
(VHS, 8 mm), a Canal+ decoder, a video games console or
RGB-signal emitting appliances.
The SCART socket AV2 (3), located on the rear of the
television, is intended to connect a VCR or a camcorder
(VHS, 8 mm, S-VHS or Hi-8).
We strongly recommend the use of this type of connection,
which gives a better picture quality. To use the peripheral
appliance that youhaveconnected, press the AV key on your
remote control (press once to select AV1; twice to select
AV2; three times for AV3: see ”Other Connections”). This
selection is automatic for some appliances. Pressing “”play”
on a VCR, or switching on a satellite receiver connected to
AV1 or AV2 will automatically switch on your television.
When you stop the VCR, if you have not changed channels
while watching the VCR, the television automatically
switches back to the channel you were watchingbeforehand.
If the television has been switched on from the VCR, it
switches to standby when the VCR is switched off. The
television automatically switches to 16/9 format if the
connected appliance delivers the corresponding signal.

The plug is fitted with a fuse which protects your
television.If your television does not work, the fuse may
be blown. In this case, replace it with an identical 5 Amp
ASTAor lr BSI(BS 1362) certified fuse.
$
Note: the mains lead of your television is fittedwith a
moulded plug. This lead contains all the safety equipment,
so you are advised when replacing it not to use a
non-specific commercially-availablemodel.
