Locate the television away from direct sunlight and strong
lights. Soft, indirect lighting is recommended for comfortable
viewing. Use curtains or blinds to prevent direct sunlight
falling on the screen.
Place the TV on a stable, level surface that can support the
weight of the TV. In order to maintain stability and prevent it
falling over, secure the TV to a wall using a sturdy tie to the
clip on the back of the TV.
The LCD display panels are manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology; however, sometimes
some parts of the screen may be missing picture elements
or have luminous spots. This is not a sign of a malfunction.
Interactive video games that involve shooting a “gun” type of
joystick at an on-screen target may not work with this TV.
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.
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
of the “SETUP” 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.

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 • SETUP and then INSTALLATION option.
Select Automatic Search.
A screen will appear warning that previous digital •
programmes and settings will be deleted.
You must allow the television to complete the •
search...
When the search is complete the Auto tuning screen •
will display the total number of service found.
NOTE: Further detailed instructions on Auto tuning
can be found in the TV owners manual.
If you are missing channels, it may be that they are
not available in your area, or that your aerial needs
upgrading.
If you have any further questions, please contact your
equipment supplier or call Digital UK on 08456 50 50

This television is designed to consume less energy to save environment. •
You not only help to save the environment but also you can save money by reducing electricity bills thanks •
to the energy effi ciency feature of this TV. To reduce energy consumption, you should take the following
steps:
You can use Power Save Mode setting, located in the Feature menu. If you set Power Save Mode as On, •
the TV will switch to energy-saving mode and luminance level of TV set will be decreased to optimum level.
Note that some picture settings will be unavailable to be changed when the TV is in Power Save Mode.
When the TV is not in use, please switch off or disconnect the TV from the mains plug. This will also reduce •
energy consumption.
Disconnect power when going away for longer time.•
Note that annually, using the TV set in Power Save Mode has more power effi ciency than disconnecting •
the TV from the mains plug instead of keeping stand-by mode. Therefore disconnect the TV from the mains
plug to save energy when you do not use. However it is highly recommended to activate Power Save Mode
setting to reduce your annual power consumption.
Please helps us to save environment by following these steps.•

For energy saving:
Turning the television off at its mains supply, or un-plugging it, will cut energy
use to nearly zero for all televisions. This is recommended when the television is not being used for a long time, e.g. when on holiday.
Reducing the brightness of the screen will reduce energy use. Energy
effi ciency cuts energy consumption and thus saves money by reducing
electricity bills.
