Television in the UK is going digital, bringing us all
more choice and new services. Starting in late 2007
and ending in 2012, television services in the UK will
go completely digital, TV region by TV region.
Please see above to fi nd out when your area switches
to digital. Digital UK is the independent, non-profi t
organisation leading the process of digital TV
switchover in the UK.
Digital UK provides impartial information on what
people need to do to prepare for the move to digital,
and when they need to do it.
How the switchover affects your TV equipment:
Your new TV has a digital tuner built in, which means
it is ready to receive the Freeview signal by simply
plugging it into your aerial socket (check if you can
get digital TV through your aerial now, or whether
you’ll have to wait until switchover, at www.digitaluk.
co.uk).
When the TV switchover happens in your area, there
are at least two occasions when you will need to
re-tune your TV in order to continue receiving your
existing TV channels, and also to pick up new ones,
Digital UK, the body leading the digital TV switchover,
will advise you when you need to re-tune during the
switchover.
If you choose to connect your TV to satellite or
cable with a digital box then it will not be affected by
switchover, and you won’t need to re-tune. Keep this
important information about how to re-tune your TV
during the digitalTV switchover
How to re-tune:
As new services are broadcast it will be necessary to
re-tune the television in order to view them. Auto tuning
will completely retune the television and can be used
to update the channel list.
Press • MENU button on the remote control unit.
Select • Install and Retune option and then select Automatic channel scan (Retune).
A screen will appear warning that previous digital •
programmes and settings will be deleted.

some parts of the screen may be missing picture elements
or have luminous spots. This is not a sign of a malfunction.
Make sure the television is located in a position where it
cannot be pushed or hit by objects, as pressure will break
or damage the screen. Also, please be certain that small items
cannot be inserted into slots or openings in the case.
Avoid using chemicals (such as air refreshers, cleaning agents,
etc.) on or near the TV pedestal. Studies indicate that plastics
may weaken and crack over time from the combination effects of
chemical agents and mechanical stress (such as weight of TV).
Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury
and/or permanent damage to TV and TV pedestal.
Cleaning the screen and cabinet…
Turn off the power, and clean the screen and cabinet with a
soft, dry cloth. We recommend that you do not use any proprietary polishes or solvents on the screen or cabinet as this
may cause damage.
Please take note
The digital reception function of this television is only effective in the countries listed in the “Country” section
during the fi rst time installation menu. Depending on country/area, some of this television’s functions may not
be available. Reception of future additional or modifi ed services can not be guaranteed with this television.
If stationary images generated by 4:3 broadcasts, text services, channel identifi cation logos, computer displays,
video games, on screen menus, etc. are left on the television screen for any length of time, they could become
conspicuous. It is always advisable to reduce both the brightness and contrast settings.
Very long, continuous use of the 4:3 picture on a 16:9 screen may result in some retention of the image at
the 4:3 outlines. This is not a defect of the LCD TV and is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.
Regular use of other size modes will prevent permanent retention.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
TV Installation
If a television is not positioned in a suffi ciently stable location, it can be potentially hazardous due to falling.
Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:
• Using stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television.
• Only using furniture that can safely support the television.
• Ensuring the television is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
• Not placing the television on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the
furniture and the television to a suitable support.
• Not standing the televisions on cloth or other materials placed between the television and supporting
furniture.
• Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television or its controls.
Place the TV on a stable, level surface that can support the weight of the TV. In order to maintain stability
and prevent it from falling over, secure the TV to a wall using a sturdy tie to the clip on the back of the table
top stand.
This unit has been produced according to all current safety regulations. The following safety tips should safeguard users
against careless use and the dangers related to such use.
• Although this unit has been carefully manufactured and rigorously checked prior to leaving the factory as with all electrical
appliances, it is possible for problems to develop. If you notice smoke, an excessive build-up of heat or any other unexpected
phenomena, you should disconnect the plug from the mains power socket immediately.
• Ensure that the unit is suffi ciently ventilated! Never place it next to or underneath curtains!
• This set should only be connected to an 220-240V AC 50Hz
mains power supply. Do not attempt to connect it to any other
type of supply.
• The socket outlet must be installed near the equipment and
is easily accessible.
• Do not open this unit. An attempt to repair the unit by a
non-expert could be dangerous and potentially cause a fi re
hazard. All repairs must be carried out by qualifi ed service
personnel only.
• Keep away from rodents. Rodents (and also cockatiels)
enjoy biting electric fl exes. They can cause a short circuit
(fi re hazard!) and receive a fatal electric shock.
• Always hold the plug when disconnecting the unit from
the socket outlet. Do not pull on fl ex. The fl ex can become
overloaded and cause a short circuit.
• Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the unit.
• Set up unit so that no one will trip over the fl ex.
• This unit is recommended to be installed on shock-free
benches in order to avoid any danger from falling.
• Take note that toddlers can pull the unit down from a table or
cupboard by means of its fl ex. Children can hurt themselves
when doing this.
• Do not use the unit near heat sources. The casing and fl ex
could be damaged by the intensity of the heat.
• The screen is made of glass and can break if damage is done
to it. Be careful when collecting sharp edged glass splitters.
• If you intend to wall mount the unit, contact the shop where
you purchased the unit for advice, and leave the installation
work to professionals. Improper installation can cause
damage and/or injuries.
• When installing the set on a wall, allow at least 10 cm
clearance between the rear of the set and the wall. Clearance
of less than 10 cm will obstruct the vents and cause
overheating to the interior of the set, resulting in faults or
damage to the set.
• Taking fall-prevention measures
- If these measures are not taken, the unit can fall and cause
damage and/or injuries.
- Contact the shop where you purchased the unit to obtain
full details of the measures.
• When a TV stand is used,
- Ensure the unit is fully on the stand and placed in the
centre.
- Do not leave the stand doors open. You could be hurt as
a result of the unit falling or breaking, or your fi ngers being
caught or jammed. Take extra precautions if you have
children.
• Avoid placing the unit on any surfaces that may be subject
to vibrations or shocks.
• To protect the unit during a thunder storm, unplug the AC
power cord and disconnect the aerial.
Caution: Do not touch the aerial connector.
• When you leave your home for a long period of time, unplug
the AC power cord for safety.
• The unit becomes warm when in operation. Do not place
any covers or blankets on the unit in order to prevent
overheating.
The ventilation holes should not be blocked. Do not set up
near radiators. Do not place in direct sunshine.
• When placing on a shelf, allow at least 10 cm clearance
space around the whole unit.
• The unit shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing, and
no objects fi lled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed
on the apparatus.
• Liquids spilled into the unit can cause serious damage.
Switch the set off and disconnect the mains power supply,
then consult a qualifi ed service person before attempting to
use the unit again.
• Moisture condensation occurs, for example, when you pour
a cold drink into a glass on a warm day and drops of water
form on the outside of the glass. In the same way, moisture
may condense on this unit’s internal optical pick-up lens, one
of the most crucial internal parts of the unit.
• Moisture condensation occurs in the following situations:
- When you move the unit from a cold place to a warm
place.
- When you use the unit in a room where the heater was
just turned on.
- When you use the unit in an area where cold air from an air
conditioner directly hits the unit.
- When you use the unit in a humid place.
• Never use the unit when moisture condensation may
occur.
• Using the unit when moisture condensation exists may
damage its own internal parts and discs. Connect the power
cord of the unit to the wall outlet, turn on the unit, remove the
disc, and leave it for two or three hours. After two or three
hours, the unit will warm up and moisture will be evaporated.
Leaving the TV connected to the wall outlet will help prevent
moisture condensation in the unit.
• Never place hot objects or open fl ame sources, such as
lighted candles or night lights, on or close to the TV. High
temperatures can melt plastic and lead to fi res.
(1) Carefully lay the front of the TV face down on a fl at, cushioned surface such as a quilt or blanket. Leave
the stand protruding over the edge of the surface.
Note: Extreme care should always be taken when removing the pedestal stand to avoid damage to
the LCD panel.
(2) Remove the four screws on the stand. This will allow removal of the pedestal stand.
(3) Once you have removed four screws holding the pedestal stand in place, remove the pedestal stand and
the plastic molding from the TV by removing away from the TV.
