channels are permanently turned off, it will not be possible to recover them.
●To retune your TV “Auto Setup” in “DVB Tuning Menu”-DVB mode (p. 36)
Users of cable or satellite boxes should still retune the TV to continue to receive Freeview channels
via their aerial. (Your Analogue channel for viewing Cable or Satellite services will change to a new
position.)
●Due to the digital reception technologies involved, quality of the digital signals may be relatively low in some
cases, despite good reception of analogue channels.

software is downloaded in the background to enable the teletext function.
This means that when switching to a digital channel, you should wait for
approximately 5 seconds before pressing the TEXT button - this will allow
the software to download. If you press the TEXT button before download is
complete, it will be ignored and you will have to press the TEXT button again
when the download is complete.
●While navigating digital teletext, you will find there is a short delay when

Timer Programming
Timer Programming from Menu
The Timer Programming menu allows you to choose programmes that you wish to remind watching or
record to the external recorder. At the correct time, the TV will tune to the correct channel automatically
to record even if the TV is in Standby mode.
TV Guide may also be used to set timer programming event (p. 19).
●Timer Programming can store up to 15 events.
●For recording using Timer Programming, the TV must be either On or in standby. For reminders to be displayed,
the TV must be On.
●No other channel can be selected while Ext Rec. of a Timer Programming is in progress.
●It may not be possible to record an encrypted programme (which is copy-protected).
●When recording programmes, be sure to make the proper settings on the recorder connected to the TV.
If a compatible recorder with Q-Link or similar technologies is connected to the TV (p. 56) and the “Link Settings”
(p. 30) are correct, no setting of the recorder is required. Also read the manual of the recorder.
●If the recorder is not compatible with Q-Link or similar technologies, set “Q-Link” in the Setup Menu (p. 30) to the
connected terminal (AV1 or AV2), and set the timer of the recorder in addition to the Timer Programming on the
TV. For preparations of a recorder, read the manual of the recorder.
●Recordings are always in standard definition composite video via SCART, even if the original programme is in
high definition.

“Standby Power Save” (p. 30)
The power consumption in Standby mode of the connected equipment is controlled in synchronization with the
TV On / Off state.
When the TV is set to Standby mode, the connected equipment is automatically set to Standby and the power
consumption in Standby mode of the connected equipment is automatically minimized.
When the TV is turned on and the connected equipment is still in Standby mode, the power consumption of the
connected equipment is increased to reduce the startup time.
●This function is effective if the connected equipment can change the power consumption in Standby mode
and is set to higher consumption.
Auto standby for unnecessary equipment Intelligent Auto Standby
Set Intelligent Auto Standby “On (With reminder)” or “On (No reminder)” in the Setup Menu to
use this function
“Intelligent Auto Standby” (p. 30)
When the TV is On, non-watched or non-used connected equipment goes into Standby mode automatically
to reduce power consumption. For example, when the input mode is switched from HDMI, the connected
equipment will go into Standby mode / when Speaker Selection is changed to “TV”, the Player theatre will go
into Standby mode (except when watching a disc).
●If you select “On (With reminder)”, the on screen message will be displayed before the connected equipment
turns to Standby.
●This function may not work properly depending on the connected equipment. If required, set to “Off”.

■Auto mode
Auto mode determines the best aspect ratio to fill the screen. It does this using a four step process (WSS,
Control signal through SCART / HDMI terminal, Letterbox detection, or Justify to fill the screen).
This process may take several minutes, depending on the darkness of the image.
Letterbox detection: If black bands at the top and bottom of the screen are detected, Auto mode chooses the
best ratio and expands the image to fill the screen.
If no aspect signals are detected, Auto mode enhances the image for optimum viewing pleasure.
Note
●The ratio varies depending on the programme, etc. If the ratio is out of the standard 16:9, black bands at the top
and bottom of the screen may appear.
●If the screen size looks unusual when a widescreen-recorded programme is played back on a VCR, adjust the
tracking of the VCR. Read the manual of the VCR.

HDMI connection
HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) is the world’s first complete digital consumer AV interface complying
with a non-compression standard.
HDMI allows you to enjoy high-definition digital images and high-quality sound by connecting the TV and the
equipment.
HDMI-compatible equipment(∗1) with an HDMI or DVI output terminal, such as a DVD player, a set top box or a
game equipment, can be connected to the HDMI terminal using an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable.
For information about connections, see “External Equipment” (p. 62).
■Applicable HDMI features
●Input audio signal : 2ch Linear PCM (sampling frequencies - 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz)
●Input video signal : 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p
“Input signal that can be displayed” (below)
Match the output setting of the digital equipment.
●Input PC signal : “Input signal that can be displayed” (below)
Match the output setting of the PC.
●VIERA Link (HDAVI Control 5) : “VIERA Link” (p. 57)
●x.v.Colour™
●Audio Return Channel(∗3) (HDMI2 terminal only)
■DVI connection
If the external equipment has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI terminal via a DVI to HDMI adapter cable(∗2).
When the DVI to HDMI adapter cable is used, connect the audio cable to the audio input terminal (AV3 AUDIO
terminals).
Note
●Audio settings can be made on the “HDMI1 / 2” in the Sound Menu. (p. 29)
●If the connected equipment has an aspect adjustment function, set the aspect ratio to “16:9”.
●These HDMI connectors are “type A”.
●These HDMI connectors are compatible with HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) copyright
protection.
●Equipment having no digital output terminal may be connected to the input terminal of either “COMPONENT”,
“S-VIDEO”, or “VIDEO” to receive analogue signals.
●This TV incorporates HDMI™ technology.
(∗1): The HDMI logo is displayed on HDMI-compliant equipment.
(∗2): Enquire at your local digital equipment retailer shop.
(∗3): Audio Return Channel (ARC) is a function to be able to
send digital sound signals via an HDMI cable.

Maintenance
First, remove the mains plug from the socket outlet.
Display panel, Cabinet, Pedestal
Regular care:
Gently wipe the surface of the display panel, cabinet, or pedestal by using a soft cloth to clean the dirt or fingerprints.
For stubborn dirt:
Dampen a soft cloth with clean water or diluted neutral detergent (1 part detergent to 100 parts water). Then wring
the cloth and wipe the surface. Finally, wipe away all the moisture.
Caution
●Do not use a hard cloth or rub the surface too hard. This may cause scratches on the surface.
●Take care not to subject the TV’s surfaces to water or detergent more than requires. A liquid inside the TV could
lead to product failure.
●Take care not to subject the surfaces to insect repellent, solvent, thinner or other volatile substances. This may
degrade surface quality or cause peeling of the paint.
●Take care not to tap or scratch the surface with your fingernail or other hard objects.
●Do not allow the cabinet or pedestal to make contact with a rubber or PVC substance for a long time. This may
degrade surface quality.
Mains plug
Wipe the mains plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. Moisture and dust may lead to fire or electrical shock.
