3. GETTING STARTED
Switching on
Follow the instructions on this page on how to switch on your TV set and the remote control before going on to following
pages describing how to use the remote control and the channel set-up procedure.
1.
Connect the female plug to AC power input of the set.
2.
Connect the male plug to the wall outlet as
illustrated.
Equipment for the UK is supplied with a mains cable fitted with a
moulded plug.
This plug contains safety components and must not be replaced
by one sold by general retailers. It is fitted with a fuse that
protects your television.
If your set has stopped working, the fuse may have blown. If it
has, replace it with an identical AS TA or BSI certified (BS1362)
5-amp fuse.
3. Connect the outside aeri
al
or cable network to the
socket at the back of the TV set.
The aerial socket (75 Ohms - VHF / UHF / cable) can be used
for connecting an external aerial or other equipment fitted with a
modulator (video recorder, satellite receiver, etc.).
We recommend that you do not connect other equipment (video
recorder, satellite receiver, etc.) to your TV set to begin with, so
as not to complicate the set-up procedure with the additional
steps involved. Connect them when you have finished setting up
the channels by referring to page 21 of this manual.
4. Switch the TV on by pressing the on/off button on the
right side.
You will find a description of how to use the remote control on
page 9. Then go to page 11 for information on the initial set-up,
or to page13 for information on manual set-up (if the channels
have already been set up on your TV).
