Important information regarding the digital TV 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.

• In digital/freeview mode, on the remote control press ‘LCD menu’ quickly followed by 8-8-8-8 (so

press the number 8 four times)

• You will now enter the ‘First time installation’ mode. (if you do not, please refer to the section

called ‘getting started’ later in this user guide)

First Time Installation

Country

Language

UK

English

Please ensure that the aerial is connected to the connector labelled ‘ RF In ’ on the rear of the TV .Ensure that OK is highlighted in yellow and press ‘OK’ on your remote .If after this scan ,not all digital channels are found ,your aerial may require a signal booster .alternatively ,upgrade your aerial to a high gain digital version .

OK Cancel

• Simply press ‘OK’ or ‘Enter’ on the remote control and your TV will retune.

If you do not retune your TV when advised to do so by Digital UK, you may lose some or all of your channels until you do re-tune.

If you are missing any channels, it may be that they are not available in your area, or that your TV aerial needs upgrading.

For help and support regarding the digital switchover, please contact Digital UK:

Telephone: 08456 50 50 50

Digital UK website: www.digitaluk.co.uk

If you require technical or warranty support on this television, please contact the manufacturer helpline, do not contact Digital UK unless your query is regarding the digital switchover.

English


OK Cancel

Tuning will now take place.

If the TV finds some, but not all, of the Digital channels, the TV is functioning correctly but the signal being received is not strong enough.

(The signal strength needs to be above 85% - you can see the signal strength the TV is receiving when you change channels/ programmes) you will need to increase the signal reception in order to recieve all of the channels available. The most economical way to do this is by purchasing and connecting a 'signal booster' in between the TV and the TV aerial socket.

If this does not solve the problem, you will need to upgrade the TV

CONNECTING A GAMES CONSOLE

Connecting a games console can sometimes seem very difficult. We have simplified it to three options depending on the cables that you have.

Option 1 – Connecting via Scart to AV adapter

If you are supplied with a cable from the console which has YELLOW,

RED & WHITE connectors you must connect via a SCART to AV adapter

(Some console include this)

TV source should be set to SCART.

Option 3 – Connecting via Component cable

If you are supplied with a cable from the console which has RED, GREEN, BLUE,

RED & WHITE connectors you must connect via Component (for picture) and by 3.5mm to phono cable (for sound).

TV Source should be set to Component.

Option 2 – Connecting via HDMI cable

If you are supplied with a HDMI cable is the easiest option. A HDMI cable can output both video and audio and enables you to enjoy digital-quality video and audio with minimal loss of picture quality.

TV Source should be set to HDMI.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Question:

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

The sound quality is high pitched?

I have inserted a disc but it is not playing

The subtitles are switched on when I am watching a DVD

I have connected the TV to my VCR via

SCART but it is not recording

Solution:

1) Check you are in an area that can

receive Freeview. Visit

www.freeview.co.uk or call

08701 111 270.

2) Check you have a suitable aerial.

Many indoor aerials will say they are

digital ready, but you will not get

a good signal

3) Consider purchasing a signal booster,

it is much cheaper than a digital aerial

and cures 70% of poor signal problems.

4) Failing the above for now use the

analogue TV, until the signal becomes

stronger in your area.

For best performance we recommend using an outdoor hi-gain digital aerial. If you are receiving some digital stations first try to connect a signal booster in between the TV and TV aerial socket

Go into the sound settings menu as shown earlier in the manual and increase the level of the bass and decrease the treble

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 ‘Changing

Regions’ in the DVD section of this user guide

Each time you press [Subtitles] button you switch between the different languages.

Off is one of the options. If you still have subtitles on, access through the DVD disc menu and switch off

In addition to connecting via SCART, you should connect the aerial cable from the wall socket to VCR and another aerial cable from the VCR to the TV

If you are still experiencing problems please contact the Helpline
