Safety Precautions
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken to obtain the best results and for safety to be assured. Please read the points below for your own safety. They are of a general nature, intended to help with all electronic consumer products and some points may not apply to the goods you have just purchased.

DON'T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON'T obstruct the ventilation openings of the equipment with items such as newspapers,
will cause the equipment.
DON'T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to dripping or splashing or objects filled with liquids, such as vases, to be placed on the equipment.
DON’T place hot objects or naked flame sources, such as lighted candles or nightlights on, or close to equipment. High temperatures can melt plastic and lead to fires.
DON'T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws. To ensure complete safety, always fit the manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.
DON'T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your hearing.
DON'T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended, unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended operation or has a standby mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure your family know how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.
DON'T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or it is damaged in any way – switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
ABOVE ALL – NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots or any other openings in the case – this could result in a fatal electric shock.
NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind – it is better to be safe than sorry.
TO FULLY DISCONNECT THE TV, SWITCH OFF THE MAINS SOCKET AND REMOVE THE POWER PLUG.

A wide variety of external equipment can be connected to the back of the TV, therefore the relevant owners manuals for all additional equipment must be referred to.
We recommend Scart 1 for a decoder, Scart 2 for a VCR and Scart 3 for additional equipment.
If connecting S-VIDEO equipment, set the INPUT for EXT2 or EXT3 accordingly. See page 14.
If the TV automatically switches over to monitor external equipment, return to normal TV by pressing the desired programme position button.
To recall external equipment, press Bto select between EXT1, EXT2, EXT3.
