Important Information Regarding Use of Video Games, Computers, Captions or Other Fixed Image Displays

The extended use of fi xed image program material can cause a permanent “shadow image” on the LCD panel.

This background image is viewable on normal programs in the form of a stationary fi xed image. This type of irreversible LCD/LED panel deterioration can be limited by observing the following steps:

1. Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum viewing level.
2. Do not display the fixed image for extended periods of time.
3. Turn the power off when not in actual use.

Examples of images that you need to watch out for are as follows (this is not an exhaustive list):

TV Channel Logos: e.g. Shopping channel logos and pricing displays-especially if they are bright and stationary. Moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely to cause ageing of the screen. Time Displays•

Teletext: Do not view a stationary page for long period of time

TV/DVD Menus: e.g. Listings of DVD disk content

- Pause Mode: Do not leave the TV in pause mode for long periods of time, e.g. When watching DVDs or videos.

Important - Once 'shadow image/screen burn' occurs, it will never disappear and is not repairable under warranty.

How do I dispose of this product?

UK: Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste. Separate disposal facilities exist. For your nearest facilities, please see www.recycle-more.co.uk or in store for details.

ROI: Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste. Separate disposal facilities exist. Check with your Local Authority or retailer for recycling advice.

Wall mounting the TV

1) Firstly detach the stand as shown above then remove the four screws highlighted below.
2) The wall mount can now be easily attached to the mounting holes on the rear of the TV. These holes are indicated in the picture below.

Important – If wall mounting this TV, only use the screws already provided in the wall mounting holes. Using other screws which are longer could cause irreparable damage to internal parts.

GETTING STARTED - INITIAL SET UP

1) Using the RF cable supplied, connect the TV to the TV Aerial wall socket (Fig A)

2) Connect the power cable to the Electrical outlet (Fig B)

3) Switch on the television using the power on/off switch located on the side of the TV.

4) Insert the batteries supplied into the Remote control and press the Standby button to power on the TV

5) You will now be welcomed with the initial set-up screen.

6) Once tuning has finished the following screen will appear.

If it does not appear, on the remote control, please press [MENU] then 8-8-8-8 and the menu will appear.

Press OK on the remote control and follow the steps to begin tuning.

If you are missing channels, the reason for this is likely to be signal strength, you should consider connecting signal booster and re-tuning the TV.

Tip: If the TV fi nds some, but not all, of the Digital channels, the TV is functioning correctly but the signal being received is not strong enough. (The signal strength needs to be above 85% - you can see the signal strength the TV is receiving when you change channels/ programmes) you will need to increase the signal reception in order to receive all of the channels available. The most economical way to do this is by purchasing and connecting a 'signal booster' in between the TV and the TV aerial socket. If this does not solve the problem, you will need to upgrade the TV aerial to a digital hi-gain compatible aerial

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

General I would like to have louder sound by connecting additional speakers	There are 2 options:1) Use Digital COAX output connected to an external amplifi er/surround sound system2) Use the 3.5mm headphone output and a 3.5mm to phono cable (available separately) to connect to an amplifi er/surround sound system
General Why are some options in the menu unavailable and greyed out	Some options are only available in certain sources, i.e. HDMI, PC/VGA. They are unavailable in the other sources where they have no affect.
TV I have tuned in Digital TV but I am not receiving any or all of the channels and/ or the channels I receive are breaking up	1) Check you are in an area that can receive Freeview. Visit www.freeview.co.uk or call 08701 111 270.2) Check you are using an aerial that is able to receive a good digital signal. In most cases, you will need an outdoor digital hi-gain/wideband aerial. In areas that have excellent Freeview coverage, you may be able to use a loft type aerial but it is highly likely that you will also need to connect a booster between the back of the TV and the TV aerial wall socket. Unfortunately, to receive a good enough digital signal, it is not possible to use a portable/indoor type aerial. This may change once the analogue signal is switched off in 2012 and the Digital signal strength is increased.
TV I have re-tuned my television but when I switch it off it is not storing the channels	Complete a fi rst time installation, please refer to the set-up menu section of the manual of how to do this
VCR/DVD Recorder	I have connected the TV to my VCR or DVD Recorder via SCART but it is not recording
Game Consoles I have connected my PS3 to the TV via HDMI, but I am not receiving any pictures or sound on my TV	1) Ensure the TVs source is on HDMI2) Check your settings on your PS3 are as per the PS3 instruction manual
Game Consoles I have connected my Xbox 360 to the TV via Component Cables (Red, Green & Blue) but I am not receiving any sound	Component cables only provide HD Pictures. For the sound you will need to connect the Red & White audio cables on the Xbox to the Red & White phono inputs on the rear of the TV. Please refer to the ‘Connections’ pages.
USB Mode I have inserted a USB Memory Key, but the TV does not recognise it	Ensure the USB Memory Key is formatted to type FAT32.
USB Mode Using a USB portable hard drive	If you wish to use a portable hard drive larger than 32GB, please note that it must be formatted to the FAT32 fi le system in order to operate on this TV. Windows XP/Vista computers are only capable of formatting up to 32GB, therefore, you will need a software programme/utility to format larger hard drives. Please refer to the web site for more information.
USB Record /TV	When using the USB to record the picture ‘breaks up’ or experience loss of sound.
System Lock I have changed the password on the television and now forgotten it	There is a master password of 4711, to gain access to the TV menu and reset the normal password

DIGITAL SWITCHOVER

Television in the UK is going digital, bringing us all more choice and new services. Starting late 2007 and ending in 2012, television services in the UK will go completely digital, TV region by TV region.

How the switch over 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 connecting it into your aerial socket (you can check if you can get digital TV through your aerial now or whether you will have to wait until the switch over at www.digitaluk.co.uk)

When the TV switch over 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 switch over, will advise you when you need to retune during the switch over.

How to retune.

Retuning your TV is a very quick and simple process. We recommend that you retune every few months to ensure you are receiving the very latest TV and radio channels that are broadcast.

1) On the remote control press [MENU] followed by 8 - 8 - 8 - 8 (so the number 8 button four times)

2) The First Time Installation menu will appear. Press [OK] and tuning will take place.

For help and support regarding the digital switch over, please contact Digital UK:

Telephone: [phone] (calls charged at local call rate, approx 3p per minute daytime or 1p per minute evenings from a BT landline)

Digital UK website: www.digitaluk.co.uk
