For your safety
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical
equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured. So, please read the
points below for your own safety. They are of a general nature, intended to help you with all your electronic
consumer products and some points may not apply to the goods you have just purchased.
Air Circulation…
Do not…
DON'T remove any fixed cover as this may expose
Leave at least 10cm clearance around the television to
allow adequate ventilation. This will prevent the TV
from overheating and consequential possible damage
to the TV. Dusty places should also be avoided.
dangerous voltages.
DON'T obstruct the ventilation openings of the
equipment with items such as newspapers,
tablecloths, curtains, etc. Overheating will cause
damage and shorten the life of the equipment.
Heat Damage…
Damage may occur if you leave the TV in direct sunlight
or near a heater. Avoid places subject to extremely high
temperatures or humidity, or locations where the
temperature is likely to fall below 5°C (41°F).
DON'T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to
dripping or splashing or objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, to be placed on the equipment.
DON’T place hot objects or naked flame sources,
such as lighted candles or nightlights on, or close to
equipment. High temperatures can melt plastic and
lead to fires.
Mains Supply…
The mains supply required for this equipment is 230v
AC 50Hz. Never connect to a DC supply or any other
power source. DO ensure that the TV is not standing
on the mains lead. DO NOT cut off the mains plug
from this equipment, this incorporates a special Radio
Interference Filter, the removal of which will impair its
performance. In the UK, the fuse fitted in this plug is
5A, and is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362. It
should only be replaced by a correctly rated and
approved type and the fuse cover must be
DON'T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with
wood screws. To ensure complete safety, always fit the
manufacturer’s approved stand or legs with the fixings
provided according to the instructions.
DON'T listen to headphones at high volume, as such
use can permanently damage your hearing.
DON'T leave equipment switched on when it is
unattended, unless it is specifically stated that it is
designed for unattended operation or has a standby
mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment
and make sure your family know how to do this.
Special arrangements may need to be made for
infirm or handicapped people.
refitted. IF IN DOUBT PLEASE CONSULT A
COMPETENT ELECTRICIAN.
Do…
DO read the operating instructions before you attempt
to use the equipment.
DON'T continue to operate the equipment if you are
in any doubt about it working normally, or it is
damaged in any way – switch off, withdraw the mains
plug and consult your dealer.
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the
mains plug, extension leads and inter-connections
between pieces of equipment) are properly made and
in accordance with the manufacturers’ instructions.
Switch off and withdraw the mains plug before making
or changing connections.
ABOVE ALL – NEVER let anyone, especially
children, push anything into holes, slots or any
other openings in the case – this could result in a
fatal electric shock.
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about
the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.
NEVER guess or take chances with electrical
equipment of any kind – it is better to be safe
than sorry.
DO be careful with glass panels or doors
on equipment.

SETTING UP
Installation and
other points to follow
Where to install
Locate the television away from direct sunlight and strong lights.
Soft, indirect lighting is recommended for comfortable viewing.
Place the TV directly on the floor or a sturdy platform. The
mounting surface should be flat and steady. If you install
the TV onto a soft floor covering, make sure that the
covering will not be damaged by the weight of the TV.
Use curtains or blinds to prevent direct sunlight
falling on the screen.
Always take great care when moving this TV as it
could mark polished floor surfaces or damage floor
coverings.
If stationary images generated by TELETEXT, CHANNEL IDENTIFICATION LOGOS, COMPUTER DISPLAYS, VIDEO
GAMES, ON SCREEN MENUS, etc. are left on the TV screen for any length of time, they will become
permanently ingrained.
If you use your television to display completely still images, or moving pictures which have a permanent still
image superimposed i.e. broadcast network logos, it is always advisable to reduce BOTH the brightness and
contrast settings.
THIS DAMAGE IS EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR AND IS NOT PROTECTED BY YOUR WARRANTY AS IT IS THE
RESULT OF MISUSE.
Cleaning the screen and cabinet…
After turning off the power, clean the screen and cabinet with a soft, dry cloth. We
recommend that you do not use any proprietary polishes or solvents on the screen or cabinet
as this may cause damage.
Disposal…
When the set reaches the end of its useful life please dispose of it in accordance with Local
Government Regulations or at a recycling centre.

Why am I having problems with teletext?
Good performance of text depends on a good
strong broadcast signal. This normally requires a
A
roof or loft aerial. If the Text is unreadable or garbled,
check your aerial. Go to the main index page of the
teletext service and look for the User Guide. This will
explain the basic operation of teletext in some detail. If
you need further information on how to use text see the
teletext section.
If you connect external front left and right speakers, you
must set the External speaker switch to EXT to get the full
benefit of Dolby Digital – if the switch is left on INT the
external speakers will not function. Turn the television
off before changing the position of the switch.
