Important information
Safety
Ensure that your domestic mains supply voltage matches the
voltage indicated on the identification sticker located at the
back of your set.
The TV set's components are sensitive to heat.The
maximum ambient temperature should not exceed
35° Celsius. Do not cover the vents at the back or sides of
the TV set. Leave sufficient space around it to allow
adequate ventilation.
Moisture in rooms where the set is installed should not
exceed 85% humidity. If you have to use the TV set
outdoors, do not expose it to rain or splashing water.
Moving the set from a cold place to a warm one can cause
condensation on the screen (and on some components
inside the TV set). Let the condensation evaporate before
switching the TV set on again.
If you intend to be away for a long period,switch the TV
set off at the on/off switch . Even when off, some
components remain in contact with the mains electricity
supply.To completely isolate the set you must remove the
plug from the mains supply socket.
During thunderstorms,we recommend that you
disconnect the TV set from the mains and aerial so that it is
not affected by electrical or electromagnetic surges that
could damage it. For this reason, keep the mains and
aerial sockets accessible so they can be disconnected,if
necessary.
Unplug the TV set immediately if you notice it giving off a
smell of burning or smoke.You must never, under any
circumstances, open the TV set yourself, as you run the risk
of an electric shock in doing so.
The TV set is provided with adequate shielding to avoid
generating X-ray emissions externally.Work carried out by
unqualified persons, modifications to the high voltage or
replacement of the tube with a model not complying with
the manufacturer’s recommendations may cause a sharp
increase in X-ray emissions.A set modified in this way
no longer meets the original specifications and should not
be switched on again.
THOMSON disclaims any liability if the TV set is not
used in accordance with this manual.
Care
Use a glass-cleaning product to clean the screen and a soft
cloth and mild detergent to clean the rest of the set.
Dust the vents at the back and sides regularly. Using
solvents, abrasive or alcohol-based products could damage
the TV set.
Demagnetisation
Speakers with poor magnetic insulation or the presence of
any other large magnetic field sources in the vicinity may
cause patches of colour to appear on the screen.
To get rid of this effect, move any magnetic field source
away from the TV set, switch the set off using the on/off
switch and wait 15 minutes before switching it on again.
A
In the interest of improving the quality of our products, we reserve the right to modify their features. The information in this manual is, therefore,
subject to change and does not represent any kind of contract.
Before setting up your television set,make sure that the surface you want to put the set on can support its
weight (see the list of specifications provided with the booklet).
Don’t place the set on an unstable surface (e.g. moving shelf, very edge of a unit) and make sure that the
front of the television set does not overhang the surface it is sitting on.

On/Off switch
Refer to the picture on the inside cover of this manual.
If you are not using the appliance for a long period of time
switch it off using the on/off switch .
Safety
Do not place the TV set on a surface which is unstable,
sloping or subject to vibration.
Make sure that the flooring is strong enough to support the
set’s weight.
Temperature
If the temperature in the room changes suddenly or the set
is moved from a cold to a warm place, condensation may
form on the lenses, which can distort the picture.The
picture will return to normal after one or two hours’
operation.
Comfortable viewing
To make your viewing as comfortable as possible:
- Close the curtains or shutters in the room to avoid the
screen being directly exposed to sunlight.
- Avoid flooring or wall surfaces which are too shiny, as well
as any form of direct lighting on the screen.
Cleaning the screen
Use a dry soft, lint-free cloth. If necessary, wipe the screen
vertically using a soft cloth slightly moistened with water.
Important: do not use any detergents to avoid damaging
the screen.
Choosing the ideal location
One of the main assets of your projection television is its
large screen. It can provide good conditions for comfortable
viewing at up to an 80° angle from the centre of the screen
(see below).
However, to ensure your maximum enjoyment, it is
recommended that you sit directly in front of the television,
with your eyes level with the centre of the screen at a
distance of no less than 3 metres.
Other recommendations
Before moving your projection television set:
- Unplug the power and RF cables.
- Make sure that the power cable is not caught under one of
the casters as this could damage it and cause a short circuit.
- Move the set carefully. It is equipped with casters to
facilitate its movement.
- Make sure that the screen is not hit or scored.
- Lift the set up when moving it on bumpy surfaces to
prevent damage to the casters.
It is recommended that a test card or any other fixed
picture should not be left on the screen for more than 15
minutes to prevent damage to the tubes. For this reason,
games consoles are not recommended for use with this
television.
Important: in the case of 16:9 models, the prolonged use
of 4:3 pictures (grey bars on either side of the screen) may
cause discoloration at the edge of the picture.

The Learning feature
The learning feature completes the programming procedure described on page 5, as it enables you to record the
functionality of a specific button from the original remote control to one of the TV’s remote control buttons.
Notes:
- Before using the learning feature, make sure this TV’s remote control is programmed to control other appliances you have connected to the TV.
Programming the remote control erases all learned commands for that appliance mode.
- You cannot record a learned function to the following buttons on the TV’s remote control: TV, VCR, DVD , AUX, SAT, AMP, EXIT, and LIGHT.
- The remote control functions are recorded (learned) by sending infrared (IR) signals: do the learning process in low light areas to avoid
interference. Make sure the TV’s remote and the original remote are no more than 5 cm apart, with the Infrared (IR) transmitter of the original
remote facing the IR receiver on the top of the TV’s remote.
- The learned buttons are mode specific—if you add a button function from your DVD player’s remote control, you must press the DVD button first
before the learned function will work (in TV mode, the button where you’ve stored the learned function will continue to work as it always has).

1. Insert two LR06 or AA batteries in the remote control.
Precautions on using batteries:
- Only use the battery types specified.
- Make sure you use the correct polarity.
- Do not mix new and used batteries.
- Do not use rechargeable batteries.
- Do not expose batteries to excessive heat, throw them in a fire, recharge them or
try to open them, as this could cause them to leak or explode.
- Remove the batteries from the remote control if you are not using it for a long
period of time (several weeks).
2. Connect the TV set to a mains socket.
Your TV set should only be connected to a 220 - 240 V ~ 50 Hz AC supply.
It must not be connected to a DC supply. If the plug is detached from the cable, do
not, under any circumstances, connect it to a mains socket, as there is a risk of
electric shock.
Equipment for the UK and Ireland 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 ASTA
or BSI certified (BS 1362) 5-amp fuse.
3. Connect the outside aerial 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 24 of this manual.
If you have a NexTView Link video recorder (refer to the connecting diagram at the
end of this manual, inside of the cover), you must connect it to the AV1 socket of the
TV set using a Scart cable before proceeding to the initial set-up.
4. Switch the TV on by pressing the on/off button on the front.
Note:The first time you switch on the television, the language selection menu
appears.
You will find a description of how to use the remote control on page 4.
Then go to page 8 for information on the initial set-up, or to page 10 for
information on manual set-up (if the channels have already been set up
on your TV).
Note: Before connecting other devices to the AV sockets, carry out the initial channel
set-up (described on the next page) in order to avoid any problems with equipment
selection.
Please respect the environment and the relevant regulations. Before you
dispose of batteries (or accumulators), ask your dealer whether they require
special recycling and if he is able to take them back.
