About this manual

This manual is common to several TV models. Therefore, the model you bought may not support some of the functions or settings described hereinafter.

About the On/Off switch

The position of the ON/OFF switch AAdiffers

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).

For your safety

To ensure your own safety and safe operation of the equipment, observe the following instructions thoroughly.

TV sets require sufficient ventilation to prevent their components 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 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 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. In such a case, it is advisable that you also 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 Xradiation 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/Offswitch.

• 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.

Set-up

To set up your TV set, follow the instructions on this page before you continue with the channel set-up procedure described on page 5.

1. Put the batteries in the remote control unit.

Please respect the environment and prevailing regulations. Before you dispose of batteries or accumulators, ask your dealer whether they are subject to special recycling and if he accepts to take them back.

2. Connect the TV to a mains socket.

The mains plug carries the power supply to your TV set. It should only be connected to an AC supply at 220 - 240 V ~ 50 Hz. 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 danger of electrocution.

UK SOCKET:

Equipment for the UK is supplied with a mains cable fitted with a moulded plug.

The plug contains safety components and must not be replaced by a type sold in shops. It is fitted with a fuse that protects your television. If your set no longer works, the fuse may have blown. If it has, replace it with an identical ASTA certified or BSI (BS

1362) 5 amp fuse.

3. Connect the outside aerial or cable network to the

g socket at the back of the TV set.

The aerial socket is for connecting an external antenna or equipment fitted with a modulator (VCR, satellite receiver, etc.). When connecting additional equipment to the aerial socket, you must assign a channel number to it. To do so, switch the external equipment on, then search for its modulator channel on the TV set, assign the channel number found to the equipment and store. From now on, every time you want to use the external equipment connected, you must select the channel number assigned to it. VCR's without an integrated modulator do not require this setting.

4. Continue on page 5, Channel set-up.
