Getting started  
Switching on  
Follow the instructions on this page on how to switch on your TV set and the remote control before going on to following  
pages describing how to use the remote control and the channel set-up procedure.  
1. Insert two LR03 or AAA batteries in the remote control.  
Precautions on using batteries:  
- Only use the battery types specified.  
- Make sure you use the correct polarity.  
- Do not mix new and used batteries.  
- Do not use rechargeable batteries.  
EN  
- Do not expose batteries to excessive heat, throw them in a fire, recharge them or  
try to open them, as this could cause them to leak or explode.  
- Remove the batteries from the remote control if you are not using it for a long  
period of time (several weeks).  
2. Plug the female socket on the mains lead into the mains adapter.  
3. Connect the mains adapter to the power socket on the back of the  
TV set (towards the left).  
This supplies electricity to the TV set, which must be powered exclusively by a 12V or  
24V DC supply (depending on the model).  
Mains socket in  
continental Europe  
4. Plug the male plug on the mains lead into a 220 - 240V ~ AC 50Hz  
220 - 240V ~ 50 Hz  
mains outlet.  
Equipment for the UK and Ireland is supplied with a mains cable fitted with a  
moulded plug.  
This plug contains safety components and must not be replaced by one sold by  
general retailers. It is fitted with a fuse that protects your television. If your set has  
stopped working, the fuse may have blown. If it has, replace it with an identical ASTA  
or BSI certified (BS1362) 5-amp fuse.  
UK and Ireland

g
5. Connect the outside aerial or cable network to the  
socket at the  
back of the TV set.  
The aerial socket (75 Ohms - VHF / UHF / cable) can be used for connecting an  
external aerial or other equipment fitted with a modulator (video recorder, satellite  
receiver, etc.).  
We recommend that you do not connect other equipment (video recorder, satellite  
receiver, etc.) to your TV set to begin with, so as not to complicate the set-up  
procedure with the additional steps involved. Connect them when you have finished  
setting up the channels by referring to page 14 of this manual.  
6. Switch the TV on by pressing the on/standby button B on the front.  
You will find a description of how to use the remote control on page 4.  
Then go to page 6 for information on the initial set-up, or to page 7 for  
information on manual set-up (if the channels have already been set up  
on your TV).  
Please respect the environment and the relevant regulations. Before you  
dispose of batteries (or accumulators), ask your dealer whether they require  
special recycling and if he is able to take them back.

Connecting headphones  
Connect headphones or stereo earphones to the corresponding socket (n) on the

Connecting a video recorder  
To obtain optimum picture quality, use a SCART cable. However, you can also connect a video recorder to the television  
using the aerial socket.  
Refer to the diagram on the inside cover at the end of the manual, which illustrates how this is done.  
If you connect a video recorder only via the aerial socket (without using the SCART socket), switch it on and play a tape.  
Then search for the video recorder’s relevant channel (refer to the relevant section).  
If you connect a video recorder via the aerial socket, you should assign channel 99 to it in order to improve the picture  
quality when tapes are being played and in pause mode. However, we recommend you connect your video recorder via the  
SCART socket, as it provides better picture and sound quality.
