Digital Switchover for Terrestrial broadcasts

Starting in late 2007 and ending in 2012, TV services in the UK will go completely digital, TV region by TV region.

If you have any questions, please call Digital UK on 08456 50 50 50 or visit www.digitaluk.co.uk

Digital Switchover will cover a period of several weeks. When it starts you will lose all Analogue TV channels and some Digital TV channels will be missing.

You will need to retune your TV each time this happens to recover your digital channels. Analogue channels are permanently turned off, it will not be possible to recover them.

- To retune your TV → "Auto Setup" in "DVB Tuning Menu"-DVB mode (p. 36)

Users of cable or satellite boxes should still retune the TV to continue to receive Freeview channels via their aerial. (Your Analogue channel for viewing Cable or Satellite services will change to a new position.)

Due to the digital reception technologies involved, quality of the digital signals may be relatively low in some cases, despite good reception of analogue channels.

Switch to Teletext

How to use

In all cases, it is possible to navigate the pages using buttons on the remote control, but because the commands available must apply to all manufacturers of digital equipment, some on screen commands may not correspond exactly to the remote control buttons.

For example:

When "select" or "go" is displayed

- When “◀”, “▶”, “▲”, “▼” symbol is displayed

- When the key words are displayed on colour bar

- When options with numbers are displayed

■To return to TV

Note

• As soon as you switch to a digital channel with links to a teletext service, software is downloaded in the background to enable the teletext function. This means that when switching to a digital channel, you should wait for approximately 5 seconds before pressing the TEXT button - this will allow the software to download. If you press the TEXT button before download is complete, it will be ignored and you will have to press the TEXT button again when the download is complete.
  ● While navigating digital teletext, you will find there is a short delay when moving between pages while the page downloads. There is often a prompt shown somewhere on the page (for example "Loading") to let you know that this is happening.

Auto Aspect

The optimum size and aspect can be chosen automatically, and you can enjoy finer images. (p. 16)

Aspect Control Signal■

"WIDE" will appear in the top left of the screen if a Widescreen signal (WSS) or a Control signal through SCART / HDMI terminal is found. The aspect will switch to the appropriate 16:9 or 14:9 widescreen ratio. This function will work in any aspect mode.

■Auto mode

Auto mode determines the best aspect ratio to fill the screen. It does this using a four step process (WSS, Control signal through SCART / HDMI terminal, Letterbox detection, or Justify to fill the screen). This process may take several minutes, depending on the darkness of the image. Letterbox detection: If black bands at the top and bottom of the screen are detected, Auto mode chooses the best ratio and expands the image to fill the screen. If no aspect signals are detected, Auto mode enhances the image for optimum viewing pleasure.

Note

The ratio varies depending on the programme, etc. If the ratio is out of the standard 16:9, black bands at the top and bottom of the screen may appear. - If the screen size looks unusual when a widescreen-recorded programme is played back on a VCR, adjust the tracking of the VCR. Read the manual of the VCR.

SD Card

If the SD Card does not meet SD standards, it may cause the TV to malfunction.

HDMI connection

HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) is the world's first complete digital consumer AV interface complying with a non-compression standard. HDMI allows you to enjoy high-definition digital images and high-quality sound by connecting the TV and the equipment. HDMI-compatible equipment ^(*1) with an HDMI or DVI output terminal, such as a DVD player, a set top box or a game equipment, can be connected to the HDMI terminal using an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable. For information about connections, see "External Equipment" (p. 62).

Applicable HDMI features ■

Input audio signal : 2ch Linear PCM (sampling frequencies - 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz) Input video signal : 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p → "Input signal that can be displayed" (below) Match the output setting of the digital equipment. \- Input PC signal :→ "Input signal that can be displayed" (below) Match the output setting of the PC. VIERA Link (HDAVI Control 5) : "VIERA Link" (p. 57) x.v.Colour™ ● Audio Return Channel ^(*3) (HDMI2 terminal only)

■DVI connection

If the external equipment has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI terminal via a DVI to HDMI adapter cable ^(*2) . When the DVI to HDMI adapter cable is used, connect the audio cable to the audio input terminal (AV2 AUDIO terminals).

Note

● Audio settings can be made on the "HDMI1 / 2 Input" in the Sound Menu. (p. 29) - If the connected equipment has an aspect adjustment function, set the aspect ratio to "16:9". ●These HDMI connectors are "type A". - These HDMI connectors are compatible with HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) copyright protection. ● Equipment having no digital output terminal may be connected to the input terminal of either “COMPONENT”, “S-VIDEO”, or “VIDEO” to receive analogue signals. ●This TV incorporates HDMI™ technology. (\*1): The HDMI logo is displayed on HDMI-compliant equipment. (\*2): Enquire at your local digital equipment retailer shop. (\*3): Audio Return Channel (ARC) is a function to be able to send digital sound signals via an HDMI cable.

Block noise, frozen or disappearing image occurs in digital mode / White spots or shadow image (ghosting) occurs in analogue mode / Some channels cannot be tuned

Check the position, direction and connection of the aerial. Check “Signal Condition” (p. 40). If “Signal Quality” is displayed in red, the digital signal is weak. Check your postcode area is able to receive the Freeview channels at www.freeview.co.uk Digital signals may be relatively low to prevent interference with analogue signals for the period of Digital Switchover. Check the schedule of Digital Switchover at www.digitaluk.co.uk Weather conditions will affect signal reception (heavy rain, snow, etc.), in particular in poor reception areas. Even during good weather, high pressure can cause poor reception of some channels. Due to the digital reception technologies involved, quality of the digital signals may be relatively low in some cases, despite good reception of analogue channels. Turn the TV off with the Mains power On / Off switch, and then on again. If problem persists, consult your local dealer.

Neither image nor sound is produced

Is the TV in AV mode? Check the correct AV input mode is selected. Check the mains lead is plugged into the socket outlet. Has the TV been turned On? Check the Picture Menu (p. 28) and volume. Check all required cables and connections are firmly in place.

Maintenance

First, remove the mains plug from the socket outlet.

Display panel, Cabinet, Pedestal

Regular care:

Gently wipe the surface of the display panel, cabinet, or pedestal by using a soft cloth to clean the dirt or fingerprints. For stubborn dirt: Dampen a soft cloth with clean water or diluted neutral detergent (1 part detergent to 100 parts water). Then wring the cloth and wipe the surface. Finally, wipe away all the moisture.

Caution

- Do not use a hard cloth or rub the surface too hard. This may cause scratches on the surface. Take care not to subject the TV's surfaces to water or detergent more than requires. A liquid inside the TV could lead to product failure. Take care not to subject the surfaces to insect repellent, solvent, thinner or other volatile substances. This may degrade surface quality or cause peeling of the paint. ● Take care not to tap or scratch the surface with your fingernail or other hard objects. - Do not allow the cabinet or pedestal to make contact with a rubber or PVC substance for a long time. This may degrade surface quality.

Mains plug

Wipe the mains plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. Moisture and dust may lead to fire or electrical shock.
