IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Please read these instructions. All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the
appliance is operated.

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
panel.
This background image is viewable on normal programs in the form of a stationary fixed 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.
Batteries
• Observe the correct polarity when inserting batteries.
• Do not use different types of batteries together or mix old and new batteries.
• Dispose of batteries in an environmentally friendly way.
• Certain regions may regulate the disposal of batteries.
Please consult your local authority.

Remote control and press the Standby
button to power on the TV

Power on/off

5) 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.

6) After tuning the following screen will
appear.

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.
As part of our ongoing development to reduce power consumption, we have added an extra function to this Television
called ‘Ecohome’ (you will see this during the first time installation set up). Power consumption using the Ecohome
function is approximately 15% lower than some other modes. The picture brightness is reduced using the Ecohome
function. If this function is not suitable for your viewing environment, you can select other modes as necessary. (Please
note, ‘Professional’ mode is for optimum default picture settings, however, power consumption is approximately 15%
higher than ‘Ecohome’ mode)
Please refer to the user guide section ‘Picture settings’ in order to change the mode to one that maybe more suitable for
your environment. There is also a shortcut button on the remote control called ‘P-Mode’ should you wish to change to
another mode.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
General

I would like to have louder
sound by connecting
additional speakers

external amplifier or surround sound (subject to connections/inputs on the device) as
follows:1) Connect a COAX cable* from the TV’s COAX output to your amplifier/surround
systems COAX input
2) Connect a 3.5mm jack to L/R phono cable* from the TV’s headphone socket (where
fitted) to your amplifier/surround sound L/R input. Please note sound to the TV’s
speakers will be disabled.
3) On selected models, it maybe possible to connect a SCART input/output* switch with
an additional L/R Phono cable* to the TV’s SCART socket and to the L/R Phono Input of
your amplifier/surround sound. Please note due to copyright laws it is not possible to

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
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 first time installation, please refer to the set-up menu section of the
manual of how to do this

DVD

I have inserted a disc but it is
not playing

1) Ensure you have inserted put the disc in facing the correct way forward
2) Ensure the disc is clean and is not scratched
3) Some copied discs will not play.
4) Check the DVD is a region 2 disc – to change the region of the DVD player, refer to
section ‘Changing Regions’ on the website.

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 TV

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.

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 file 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.

System Lock

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 switchover 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 switchover at www.digitaluk.co.uk)
When the TV switchover 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 switchover, will advise you when you need to retune during the
switchover.

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 switchover, please contact Digital UK:
Telephone: 08456 50 50 50 (calls charged at local call rate, approx 3p per minute daytime or 1p per minute
evenings from a BT landline)
