and when they need to do it.
How the switchover affects your TV equipment:
Y our 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

Installation and Important Information
Where to install
Sturdy tie
(as short
as possible)
P Clip
P Clip
“P” Clip position on TV is dependent on model.
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 on the
back of the stand.
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.
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.

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.
