The screen of your TV responds to the top quality requirements and it was checked in detail for accidental faulty pixels several times. Due to the technological properties of the manufacturing process, it is not possible to eliminate the existence of a small number of faulty points on the screen for 100% (even with maximum care while production is provided). These faulty pixels are not considered faults in terms of guarantee conditions, if their extent is not greater than the boundaries defined by DIN norm.

Important information regarding use of video games, computers, captions and other fixed image displays.

The extended use of fixed image program material can cause a permanent "shadow image" on the LCD screen (this is sometimes incorrectly referred to as "burnout to the screen"). This shadow image is then permanently visible on the screen in the background. It is a partly irreversible damage. You can avoid such damage by respecting the following instructions:

Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum viewing level.

Do not display the fixed image for a long period of time. Avoid displaying of:

» Teletext time and charts,

» TV/DVD menu, e.g. DVD contents,

» In the "Pause" mode (hold): Do not use this mode for a long time, e.g. while watching a DVD or a video.

» Turn off the appliance if you are not using it.

Important safety instructions

» Dispose of batteries in an environmentally friendly way.

» Most of the EU countries regulate the disposal of batteries by law.

Disposal

Do not dispose of this appliance as unsorted municipal waste. Return it to a designated collection point for the recycling of WEEE. By doing so, you will help to conserve resources and protect the environment. Contact your retailer or local authorities for more information.

Important safety instructions

3D Safety Information

If you watch the 3D imaging too closely or for a long period of time, it may harm your eyesight. - Watching the TV or playing video games that incorporate 3D imaging with the 3D glasses for a long period of time can cause drowsiness, headaches or fatigue to you and/or your eyes. If you have a headache, or otherwise feel fatigued or drowsy, stop watching the TV and take a rest. - Pregnant women, seniors, persons with heart problems or persons who experience frequent drowsiness should refrain from watching 3D TV.

Some 3D imaging may cause you to duck or dodge the image displayed in the video. Therefore, it is best if you do not watch 3D TV near fragile objects or near any objects that can be knocked over easily.

Please prevent children under the age of 5 from watching 3D TV as it may affect their vision development.

Warning for photosensitization seizure:

Some viewers may experience a seizure or epilepsy when exposed to certain factors, including flashing lights or images in TV or video games. If you or anybody from your family has a history of epilepsy or seizure, please consult with your doctor before watching 3D TV. Also certain symptoms can occur in unspecified conditions without any previous history. If you experience any of the following symptoms, immediately stop watching the 3D imaging and consult a doctor: dizziness or light headedness, visual transition or altered vision, visual or facial instability, such as eye or muscle twitching, unconscious action, convulsion, loss of conscience, confusion or disorientation, loss of directional sense, cramps, or nausea. Parents should monitor their children, including teenagers, for these symptoms as they may be more sensitive to the effects of watching 3D TV.

Risk of photosensitization seizure can be reduced with the following actions.

Take frequent breaks from watching 3D TV.

For those who have vision that is different in each eye, they should watch the TV after taking vision correction measures. - Watch the TV so that your eyes are on the same level as the 3D screen and refrain from sitting too closely to the TV. Do not watch the 3D imaging when tired or sick, and avoid watching the 3D imaging for a long period of time. Do not wear the 3D glasses for any other purpose than viewing 3D imaging on a 3D TV. Some viewers may feel disoriented after watching 3D TV. Therefore, after you watch 3D TV, take a moment to regain awareness of your situation before moving.

What is included in the box

Supply of this TV includes following parts:

1x TV 1x Remote control

2x AAA batteries 1x User guide

1 x TV stand installation packet

3D glasses *

Attaching the Stand

Please follow the instructions in the Stand installation leaflet, located in the accessories bag.

Wall mounting the TV

This television requires a VESA 100 wall mount, or equivalent.

1. 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.

For optimum viewing, if wall mounting the TV higher than eye level, the TV should be tilted downwards so that the TV's screen is 'face on'. See fig 1 and 2

*- optional

Important Note

Position the TV close to the wall to avoid the possibility of it falling when pushed.

The instructions shown below are a safer way to set up the TV, by fixing it to the wall, avoiding the possibility of it falling forwards if pulled. This will prevent the TV from falling forward and causing injury. This will also prevent the TV from damage.

This method is used if the TV is placed on a glass surface or you do not wish to screw anything into your furniture.

Ensure that children do not climb or hang onto the TV.

For this type of installation you will need a fastening chord.

A) Using one/both of the top wall-mounting holes and screws (the screws are already supplied in the wall mounting holes) fasten one end of the fastening chord/s to the TV. B) Secure the other end of the fastening chord/s to your wall.

Getting started - initial set up

1. Using the RF cable supplied, connect the TV to the TV Aerial wall socket. Connect the power cable to the Electrical outlet.
2. Turn on the device with marked ON/OFF switch.
3. Insert the batteries supplied into the Remote control and press the Standby button to power on the TV.
4. You will now be welcomed with the initial set-up screen. 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 tuning will start.

As part of our continuing efforts to reduce energy consumption, we added a new Ecohome feature (appears on the first installation screen). This function helps reduce energy consumption up 15% compared to other modes. The image brightness is reduced using Ecohome mode. If this setting does not suit your environment, you can choose from other modes (Note: the professional mode is the optimal default mode, but consumes 15% more than the Ecohome). Please select desired language, country and environment. Set LCN* to ON if you want to arrange found channels by cable provider preferences (only applies to DVB-C channels). Press [OK] button to start the tuning process.

1. In the next step select the type of digital broadcasting. You can choose between DVB-T (terrestrial), DVB-C (cable) or DVB-S2(satellite). The analog channel will be searched automatically, as most of the cable network includes analog channels.
2. Select DVB-C if your TV is connected to a cable TV network. Keep all default settings as it is recommended. Then press [OK] to start the search. If DVB-C channels are not found, contact your network provider for the valid "Network ID". Then perform a new search. Press the [MENU], select "Network ID" and enter the network ID. Start your search by clicking [OK].
3. Optional channel presets DVB-S2*: Select "Satellite" in the "Digital-type" in the menu for the optional channel presets. Here you can choose between the various satellites. Since selection completed, then the channel list of the exact satellite will be available to be imported into your TV system. This take several seconds. Confirm with [OK] button on the remote control, to start scanning. 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 finds 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.

For the best 3D picture effect, watch your TV from vertical angle +/- 10°.

3D Type - When connecting a 3D product sometimes the picture maybe displayed incorrectly; choose from the following settings to correct this. You can toggle these settings by pressing the '3D' button on your remote (see page 119).

2D to 3D - Changes the picture from regular 2 dimensions to 3 (3D). Please note as content is being changed by the TV the effects are limited. 3D to 2D - Changes the picture from 3D to regular 2 dimensions (2D). 2D to 3D Depth - Depth of pictures converted from 2D to 3D.

3D off Turns 3D off
Side by Side 3D Format	3D format is commonly used in 3D broadcasting, works by halving the horizontal resolution of videos to store left and right eye images in each frame. It eff ectively displays up to 960 x 1,080-pixel pictures to each eye, enabling TV stations to telecast 3D content at a much lower bandwidth compared with 3D Blu-ray discs.Typical supported resolutions are limited to 720p and 1080i for 3D TV programs. Users will need to manually select the correct 3D format to properly display side-by-side 3D content on a 3D TV.
Top Bottom 3D Format	3D format is alternative for 3D broadcast, which is pretty similar to side-by-side 3D except that it halves the vertical resolution instead. Available primarily up to 720p resolution, top-and-bottom 3D offers 1,280 pixels horizontally. The higher pixel count is generally considered more suitable for displaying panning motion in sports programs.
Frame Alternative	As its name suggests, this format stacks the left and right eye images in each frame to retain the content's original resolution for the best 3D pictures. Most, if not all, 1080p 3D Blu-ray movie discs and 720p PS3 3D games are produced utilizing this technique. Another key differentiator is that all 3D TVs should be able to automatically detect frame-packing 3D signals and correctly display the content without user intervention.
Line by Line The	the picture signals for left and right eyes are interleaved in alternate lines. The left clip's resolution is halved then placed in the odd lines of the video stream. Correspondingly, the right clip's resolution is halved then placed in the even lines of the video stream. When combined the video stream totals 1920×1080.

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 amplifier/surround sound system.2) Use the 3.5mm headphone output and a 3.5mm to phono cable (available separately) to connect to an amplifier/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 effect.
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 Digital TV.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 digital 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.
TV I have re-tuned my television but when I switch it off it is not storing the channels.	Complete a first 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.	In addition to connecting via SCART, you should connect the aerial cable from the wall socket to your VCR/DVD Recorder and another aerial cable from the VCR/DVD Recorder to the TV.
Game Consoles I have connected my PS3 to the TV via HDMI, but I am not receiving any pictures or sound on my Television.	1) Ensure the TVs source is on HDMI.2) 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.
