Important Information Regarding Use of Video Games, Computers,

Captions or Other Fixed Image Displays

The extended use of fi xed 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 fi xed 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 fi xed 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.

Ecohome mode: Select this mode for the most energy effi cient TV set up*

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 fi rst 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.

Why are some options in the menu unavailable and greyed out

Can I stop my TV turning off after 4hrs?

1) Connect a COAX cable* from the TV’s COAX output to your amplifi er/ surround systems COAX input

2) Connect a 3.5mm jack to L/R phono cable* from the TV’s headphone socket (where fi tted) to your amplifi er/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 amplifi er/surround sound.

Please note due to copyright laws it is not possible to output video/sound from the TV on certain sources, i.e. HDMi, DVD etc.

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.

Can I use a USB portable hard drive with my TV?

If you wish to use a portable hard drive larger than 32GB, please note that it must be formatted to the FAT32 fi le 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.

There is a master password of 4711, to gain access to the TV menu and reset the normal password
