The plug fitted to this appliance incorporates a mains filter circuit. If this is removed or replaced with a non-filtered plug this television will no longer meet the European standards for Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC). If the fitted plug is unsuitable for the socket outlet in your home an appropriate adapter should be used.

Nonetheless, if the fitted plug is replaced, the fuse should be taken out and the cut-off plug disposed of safely. There is danger of severe electrical shock if the cut off plug is inserted into any 13 amp. socket.

If a new plug is to be fitted please observe the wiring code as shown below. If in any doubt please consult a qualified electrician.

How to replace the fuse (for plug type shown in example 1):

Lift out the removable fuse compartment with a screwdriver and replace the fuse, then refit securely into the mains plug (See example 1).

• Direct TV Record - For immediate recording of the current program (What You See Is What You Record).
  • TV/VCR Auto Power On - When the VCR plays a tape the TV will automatically switch On and select the AV2 input.
  ● VCR Auto Power Standby - When the TV is switched into Standby, the VCR will also switch into Standby.
• VCR Image view - When the VCR plays a tape the TV will automatically switch On and select the AV2 input.

This TV will also communicate with other VCR's that bear the following logo's :

• "DATA LOGIC" (a trademark of Metz Corporation).
- "Easy Link" (a trademark of Philips Corporation).
- "Megalogic" (a trademark of Grundig Corporation).
- "SMARTLINK" (a trademark of Sony Corporation).

These VCR's may support some or all of the above functions.

Refer to the VCR operating instruction book.

Preset Download

This allows the programme order from the TV to be downloaded to the VCR, this helps to ensure that correct recordings are made, there are several ways to perform this operation :

1. During installation as explained in the 'Quick Start Guide' beginning on page 6.
2. When Auto setup is started from within the Tuning menu, see page 21.
3. When TV to VCR manual download is started from within 'Programme edit', see page 20.
4. Preset download started from the VCR, refer to the VCR operating instruction book.

Important Note:

Not all VCRs support this type of data communication system. Some may support certain features, but not others. Refer to the VCR operating instruction book.

If Q-Link is inoperative, first confirm that your Scart cable is a full function type. Ask your dealer for further details.

Some other VCR's may support this feature. Refer to the VCR operating instruction book.

SURROUND MENU

Normally stereo reproduction uses left and right speakers, but Dolby Pro Logic Surround also uses a centre channel and a rear channel. The centre channel sharpens sound perspective and dialogue clarity whilst the rear channel is used to immerse the viewer in ambience and special effects.

To use Dolby Pro Logic Surround when receiving television programmes that have been encoded with Dolby Surround information, you must be able to receive NICAM Stereo transmissions. If NICAM Stereo transmissions are not transmitted in your area then the Dolby Surround information will not be present and it will not be possible to use Pro Logic operation (unless you are playing back from a stereo VCR, Digital Versatile Disc etc.).

Dolby Pro Logic Surround will operate with videos, laser discs and TV programmes that bear the Dolby Surround logo :

Front distance

Allows setting of the distance from the listening position to the front speakers.

Allows setting of the distance from the listening position to the rear speakers. If the rear surround speakers are closer to you than the centre speaker, you may hear dialogue "leakage" from the rear surround speakers. It may be necessary to reduce the output level of the rear channel to rectify this phenomenon.

Internal speaker

Normally set to On, but, when separate external amplified front speakers are connected, then the internal speakers can be switched Off. See page 37 for connection details.

PRO LOGIC MODE

Choosing Surround Pro Logic mode allows three possible modes of operation :

Normal, Phantom or 3 Stereo.

Dolby Pro Logic Normal mode

This is the best mode to use if rear speakers are not connected. When using this mode, the surround information is redirected to the front left and right speakers.

SIMULATED MODE

Simulated surround modes allow various types of surround effects to be produced by mimicking both the direct sound, as heard by the audience, and the sound reflected back from the surrounding walls e.g. ceiling and floor space in a space such as a Disco. There are three different effects to choose from, each reflecting a different atmosphere.

Setting	Effect	Appropriate sources
Disco	A room so full of music that it seems to engulf the listener.	Disco, Dance or Jazz music.
Movie	Playback of software (films) not encoded with Dolby surround.	All movies or music software recorded without Dolby surround.
Stadium	A large sports stadium packed for a live game.	Any live sports occasion.

VCR AND SATELLITE RECEIVER INSTALLATION

Your new TV is supplied with programme position '0' set to receive an RF signal from your VCR, although a Scart connection is preferable if the VCR is so equipped.

However, if for some reason your VCR is tuned to a different RF channel then you will not receive any picture or sound from your VCR on programme position '0' of the TV. It will be necessary to either adjust the RF channel of your VCR (some VCR's allow adjustment of their RF channel via their remote control unit) or to adjust the tuning of the TV's programme position '0' or both until it receives the RF output channel of your VCR.

It is intended that this advice is used in conjunction with the instruction books for your additional equipment.

Use the AV1 Scart terminal for a VCR.

Use the AV2S Scart terminal for an S-Video VCR.

Use the AV2S Scart terminal for a Q-Link, NEXTVIEWLINK or compatible VCR.

To tune your TV to the VCR

Switch on the VCR, insert and play a pre-recorded tape with known content

Open the Setup menu

Move to Tuning menu

Access Tuning menu

Move to Manual tuning

Access Manual tuning

Select programme position '0' VCR

Start searching for the VCR playback of the known content tape

When the VCR playback is found, press STR to store

Press the TV/AV button to exit.

See below for installation of VCR and Satellite Receiver.

Notes :

• If picture patterning occurs on programme position '0' it may be necessary to adjust the RF output channel of the VCR, refer to the VCR instruction book.
• If a Satellite Receiver and a VCR are going to be used with RF cable connections it is important to avoid both units being set on the same channel. Refer to the Satellite Receiver and VCR instruction books for precise tuning information.
