SETTING UP

For your safety

This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured. So, please read the points below for your own safety. They are of a general nature, intended to help you with all your 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, tablecloths, curtains, etc. Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of 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.

Leave at least 10cm clearance around the television to allow adequate ventilation. This will prevent the TV from overheating and consequential possible damage to the TV. Dusty places should also be avoided.

Damage may occur if you leave the TV in direct sunlight or near a heater. Avoid places subject to extremely high temperatures or humidity, or locations where the temperature is likely to fall below 5°C (41°F).

The mains supply required for this equipment is 230v AC 50Hz. Never connect to a DC supply or any other power source. DO ensure that the TV is not standing on the mains lead. DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment, this incorporates a special Radio Interference Filter, the removal of which will impair its performance. In the UK, the fuse fitted in this plug is 5A, and is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362. It should only be replaced by a correctly rated and approved type and the fuse cover must be refitted. IF IN DOUBT PLEASE CONSULT A COMPETENT ELECTRICIAN.

DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.

DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and inter-connections between pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturers’ instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug before making or changing connections.

DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.

DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.

Cleaning the screen and cabinet…

After turning off the power, 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.

Disposal…

When the set reaches the end of its useful life please dispose of it in accordance with Local

Government Regulations or at a recycling centre.

If stationary images generated by TELETEXT, PROGRAMME IDENTIFICA TION LOGOS, COMPUTER DISPLAYS, VIDEO GAMES, ON SCREEN MENUS, etc. are left on the TV screen for any length of time, they will become permanently ingrained. The software in this TV has been designed to reduce this effect by changing the position of the display from time to time. Also, if a digital on-screen menu is left on the screen unused it will automatically darken until it is used (the analogue menus will disappear if unused).

If you use your television to display completely still images, or moving pictures which have a permanent still image superimposed e.g. broadcast network logos, it is always advisable to reduce BOTH the brightness and contrast settings.

THIS DAMAGE IS EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR AND IS NOT PROTECTED BY YOUR WARRANTY AS IT IS THE RESULT OF MISUSE.

SETTING UP

Installation and

other points to follow

Locate the television away from direct sunlight and strong lights. Soft, indirect lighting is recommended for comfortable viewing. Place the TV directly on the floor or a sturdy platform. The mounting surface should be flat and steady. If you install the TV onto a soft floor covering, make sure that the covering will not be damaged by the weight of the TV.

Use curtains or blinds to prevent direct sunlight falling on the screen.

Always take great care when moving this TV as it could mark polished floor surfaces or damage floor coverings.

Where to install…

WARNING!

NEVER LEAVE A STATIONARY

IMAGE ON THE SCREEN .

Please see pages

41 and 42 for full

details of the

on-screen MENUS.

Connecting the speakers

When connecting external speakers always make sure that the power is OFF. In order to enjoy the full benefits of Surround Sound it is necessary to connect two rear surround speakers

and two front extension speakers.

When connecting external front Hi-Fi speakers, they must be 8 ohm, 14W minimum and the rear Surround speakers must be 8 ohm, 10W minimum.

The front speakers should be positioned either side of the TV and will deliver the left and right sound. The

internal speakers will then deliver the centre channel required to enjoy Dolby Digital.
