Packaging

• The safest way to transport your item is in the original box/packaging - please save your packaging for this.
• You will need the original box/packaging in the event of warranty/service repair or support. We are unable to carry out warranty/service if you are unable to package the item correctly.

IMPORTANT: Information regarding use of video games, computers, captions or other fixed image displays

The extended use of fixed image program material can cause a permanent "shadow image" on the LCD/LED panel, also known as "screen burn".

This "shadow image" can appear in the background during normal viewing. 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 suitable viewing level.
2. Do not display the fixed image for extended periods of time.
3. Turn the power off when not in use.

Examples of images that are more likely to cause "screen burn" are as follows:

• 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.
• Teletext: Do not view a stationary page for a long period of time
• Time displays.
  • TV/DVD menus: e.g. listings of DVD disc 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.

Helpful advice for first time stand installation

When securing the self-tapping screw/s into the base of the TV (on first installation) the screw/s may be naturally tight as they create a thread in the plastic.

a) Ensure the cross head screw driver tip fits correctly into the head of the screw and that it is not too big or small.
b) Screw in all screws individually and partially before tightening all of the screws fully.
c) If the screws become very tight try loosening and re-tightening, this will continue the process of creating the thread.

Securing the TV using anti-tip straps

For maximum security in the home, when using a TV with its stand, anti-tip straps should be fitted. These are available from supermarket websites and other websites and are an easy, inexpensive and effective way of ensuring your TV stays safely upright. Straps are designed to be attached to the rear of the TV and then tethered to the wall or the furniture the TV is stood on, these are fitted as follows.

NOTE: Please ensure that children do not climb on the TV set.

A) Using one or both of the top wall-mounting holes and screws fasten one end of the fastening cord/s to the TV. (the screws are already supplied in the wall mounting holes)
B) Secure the other end of the fastening cord/s to your wall. (you will need screws/fixings suitable for your wall type - available separately from most DIY stores.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents is urging people to take care with flat-screen televisions.

RoSPA stated in 2010 that "Toddlers are particularly at risk of pulling flat-screen televisions on to themselves. They are unsteady on their feet and are attracted by colourful television images."

The risk is increased as televisions become lighter.

If you require any technical guidance or find that your TV is not operating as intended, a simple solution can often be found in the Troubleshooting section of these instructions.

1) Remove the four screws located at the back of the TV set.
2) The wall mount can now be easily attached to the mounting holes, located on the back of the TV, using the same four screws removed.

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.

USB Record - Digital / Freeview Mode

USB Record – Digital/Freeview Mode for 24" models only.

Built into this television is a USB record facility. This function is available in Digital/Freeview mode when used in conjunction with a compatible USB memory stick or USB hard drive. The benefits of this are as follows:

• Pause live TV and then playback, fast forward and rewind (up to live TV)
  • One button record, if you decide you want to record the current programme
• Easy programmable recording from the 7 day TV Guide
• Record TV and watch/listen back on your computer/laptop

Due to the nature of the product, it is necessary to use a high speed USB memory stick (as the TV reads

from and writes to the memory stick at the same time, some memory sticks may not be suitable)

You can purchase high speed memory sticks from some computer stores, alternatively, we have a selection

of tested and compatible memory sticks available to purchase directly from the helpline/web site.

Minimum Specification - USB Memory Stick

Read Speed 20 MB/s (Mega Byte Per Second)

Write Speed 6 MB/s (Mega Byte Per Second)

If you wish to use a USB portable hard drive larger than 32GB, please refer to the FAQ section at the rear of this user guide.

Pause live TV (tme shift)

Pausing Live TV is very simple.

• Press the play/pause button and the television will pause and the live content will be recorded. To resume watching press play/pause again.
• Press fast forward to go forward in a recording (i.e. to skip adverts)
• Press fast rewind to go back in a recording (i.e. if you fast forwarded too far)

Tip: When you switch the TV to standby or change channel the Time Shift memory is wiped. To restart time shift you must press play/pause button.

One button record

At any point in time you may decide to record the current channel that you are watching. To do this you need to press the red button highlighted below.

Tip: This television contains one TV tuner, therefore it can only record the channel you are watching or record one channel while the television is in standby mode.

Note: USB record function is only available in Digital/Freeview TV mode. Due to copyright laws and illegal copying/recording it is not possible to record to/from any other input/output source.
