Information for users in the UK
(Not applicable outside the UK)
Positioning the TV
For the best results, choose a position where light does not fall directly on the screen, and at some distance away from radiators
or other sources of heat. Leave a space of at least 5 cm all around the TV for ventilation, making sure that curtains, cupboards etc.
cannot obstruct the air flow through the ventilation apertures.
The TV is intended for use in a domestic environment only and should never be operated or stored in excessively hot or humid
atmospheres.
General Points
Please take note of the section 'Tips' at the end of the English section in this booklet.
Interference
The Department of Trade and Industry operates a Radio Interference Investigation Service to help TV license holders improve
reception of BBC and IBA programmes where they are being spoilt by interference.
If your dealer cannot help, ask at a main Post Office for the booklet "How to improve Television and Radio Reception".
Mains connection
Before connecting the TV to the mains, check that the mains supply voltage corresponds to the voltage printed on the type plate
on the rear panel of the TV. If the mains voltage is different, consult your dealer.
Important
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug.
To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows :
1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2. Fit new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A,A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
In order to maintain conformity to the EMC directive, the mains plug on this product must not be removed.
Connecting the aerial
The aerial should be connected to the socket marked x at the back of the set. An inferior aerial is likely to result in a poor,
perhaps unstable picture with ghost images and lack of contrast. Make-shift loft or set-top aerials are often inadequate.
Your dealer will know from experience the most suitable type for your locality.
Should you wish to use the set in conjunction with other equipment, which connects to the aerial socket such as TV games, or a
video camera, it is recommended that these be connected via a combiner unit to avoid repeated connection and disconnection of
the aerial plug.
Loop aerial (if provided)
The loop aerial packed with the set will give satisfactory reception under good signal conditions. Fit the aerial bracket and lead by
pushing the peg into the square hole in the backcover until it latches in place. Then insert the plug on the lead into the aerial
socket.

NEXTVIEW provider
Most broadcasters in Europe are offering teletext pages containing the days
programme schedule.These pages can be requested by switching the TV to
Teletext Guide.
An increasing number of broadcasters are offering an extended programme
guide service called

the available TV channels which broadcast
NEXTVIEW. Broadcaster defined
menus will not be available.
If you select a programme number of a TV channel stored in the favourite list
as

and additional info of its own broadcasts as well as from other (non selected)
TV channels.
Normally you will select as
NEXTVIEW
provider the TV channel that transmits
most information in your language.You can make the best selection via info
from TV announcements or from the newspapers.
Important:
For a proper functioning of
NEXTVIEW, the first TV channel from the favourite list
should also broadcast the correct date and time via teletext.
Please check at startup if the time and date are correct in the
NEXTVIEW screen.
Remark:
Not all TV channels support
NEXTVIEW.

Tips & Index
Care of the screen
Clean the TV with a slightly damp soft
cloth. Do not use abrasive solvent as it
can damage the TV screen.
Poor Picture
Have you selected the correct TV system?
Is your TV or house aerial located too
close to loudspeakers, non-earthed audio
equipment or neon lights, etc.?
Mountains or high buildings can cause
double pictures or ghost images.
Sometimes you can improve the picture
quality by changing the direction of the
outside aerial.
Is the picture or teletext unrecognisable?
Check if you have entered the correct
frequency. See Installation, p. 5.
Are brightness and contrast out of
adjustment? Select Factory settings in the
Setup menu, p. 7.
Sometimes poor picture quality is possible
when having activated a S-VHS camera or
camcorder connected to the right side of
your TV and another peripheral is
connected to
EXT1 or EXT2 at the same
time. In this case switch off one of the
other peripherals.
No picture
Is the aerial connected properly? Are the
plugs tightly connected in the aerial socket?
Is the aerial cable in good condition and
does it have suitable plugs?
Are the connection facilities to a possible
second TV in good condition? If in doubt,
consult your dealer.
No sound
No sound on any channel? Check the
volume isnt at minimum. Is the sound
interrupted with the mute key ¬? Check
if your speaker configuration corresponds
with the selections made in the Setup
menu, p. 7. E.g. is your amplifier switched
on when you have 2 extra front speakers
connected?
No sound from the rear speakers or the
centre speakers? Select an appropriate
surround mode, according to the
broadcasted sound signal or adjust the
volume. See Surround Modes, p. 13.
Remote control
If your TV no longer responds to the
remote control, the batteries may be
exhausted.
You can still use the keys at the front of
your TV.
Menu
Have you selected the wrong menu? Press
the same key again to exit from the menu.
NEXTVIEW - No information
See Acquisition and updating of
NEXTVIEW
information, p. 21.

100 Hz
100 Hertz provides a superior solution to
the problem of picture flicker which is
particularly noticeable with larger screen
sizes. In a conventional TV, the picture area
is scanned 50 times a second (50 Hertz)
a frequency which is still detectable by the
human eye in the form of a flickering
picture. In 100 Hertz sets, the picture area
is scanned at a rate of 100 times per
second (100 Hertz).At this frequency, the
eye cannot detect flicker, resulting in a
clearer picture which is more relaxing to
the eye.
Automatic Channel Installation (ACI)
Automatically installs all TV channels in
the same order as offered by your cable
company, provided of course that the data
is transmitted. It also automatically
includes programme number and
programme name.
With ACI, channel installation is fully
automatic, simple and fast.
Child Lock
Feature to prevent unauthorised use of
your TV.
Digital Scan
If you look at a television screen you will
see small imperfections in the picture
caused by line vibration. Digital Scan (an
internal process) removes interline flicker.
When combined with 100 Hz, you will see
a totally stable image.
DNR
Digital Noise Reduction.
By encoding signals digitally in 100 Hz
sets, it is possible to clean up picture
noise.This is especially beneficial in poor
signal areas and when viewing poor quality
video tapes.
Dolby Surround Pro Logic
Literally wraps you in 4-channel sound. it
brings your favourite movies to life with
all the realism and impact of cinema sound

memorises Teletext pages and gives you
instant access to them.
Euroconnector
A 21-pin connector system enabling you
