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 to prevent theircomponents fromoverheating, whichwill cause failure. Donot 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 a cold 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 eveningor when away from home for a long period, we recommend that you turn off the TV set with the On/Off-switch.
The mains plug must be easily accessible.
In the following cases, we recommend that you pull out the mains connector:
1. During a thunderstorm. In such a case, it is advisable that youalso disconnect the TV set from the aerialsocket.
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 complyingwiththemanufacturers’ specification are likely tocause considerableincrease 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 re v ealed 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 connectio ns

Basic connections
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. Should the plug become separated from the lead, never attempttoplugitintoamainssocket.Thiscouldcause 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, satellitereceiver, 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 c ase, replace it with an identical 5 Amp ASTAor lr BSI(BS 1362) certifiedfuse.
$
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 c ommercially-available model.
