Maintenance

Careful and regular cleaning can prolong the life of your TV.

Be sure to switch off the I/O POWER ON/OFF switch and disconnect the mains cable from the mains socket before you start any cleaning.

Use a soft dry cloth to wipe away the dust from the screen and surfaces.1.

If the surfaces are extremely dirty, clean the TV with a cloth which has been 2. dipped in a weak soapy water. Wring the cloth until it is almost dry, then use it to wipe the TV.

Ensure there is no excess water on the screen. Allow any water or dampness to 3. evaporate before switching the TV on.

Never use alcohol, benzine, paint-thinner, cleaning fluid or other chemicals. Do not use compressed air to remove dust.

Hints and Tips If a problem does occur, it may often be due to something very minor. The following table contains various tips.

The TV does not operate properly.

The remote control does not work

Check to see if there are any objects between the TV and the remote control causing an obstruction. Ensure that you are pointing the remote control directly at the TV. Ensure that the batteries are installed with correct polarity (+ to +, - to -). Install new batteries.

Power is suddenly turned off Check the power of the TV. The mains supply maybe interrupted. Check if the sleep timer is set. Check whether the Off Time setting in the Function menu is activated.

The video function does not work.

No Picture & No Sound Check whether the TV is switched on. Try another channel. The problem may be caused by the broadcaster.

Picture appears slowly after switching on

This is normal, the image is muted during the TV startup process. Please contact your service centre, if the picture has not appeared after five minutes.

No or poor colour or poor picture Adjust the settings in the Picture menu. Try another channel. The problem may be caused by the broadcaster. Check if the video cables are connected properly.

Horizontal / Vertical bar or picture shaking

Check for local interference such as an electrical appliance or power tool.

Poor reception on some channels Station or cable channel may be experiencing problems, tune to another station. Station signal is weak, reposition the aerial for better reception. Check for sources of possible interference.

Lines or streaks in pictures Check aerial (Change the position of the aerial.)

No pictures when connecting HDMI Check if the input source is HDMI1 / HDMI2 / HDMI3 / HDMI4.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Why have I lost some/all of my channels?

It happens sometimes, if you have a weak signal. Usually it just means youll need to rescan your digital box or TV. Dont worry, it easy to do. And once youve done it, you should get all the Freeview channels available to you. If problems persist you may need to get your aerial checked. Talk to your retailer or contact your local aerial installer.

Why do I get blocking on my digital picture?

In most cases, blocking is caused by a reception problem - either the signal is too weak or there is some kind of interference. Talk to your retailer or contact your local aerial installer Blocking can also be caused by a digital signal that is too strong.

Can I watch Freeview using a portable set-top aerial?

Some, but only a few, homes may be able to use a set top aerial. However, for a much better reception, we strongly recommend that you use a rooftop aerial. If you do not have access to a rooftop aerial - for example, if you rent a flat and the aerial is the responsibility of your landlord, or if youre using a second TV in the bedroom and dont want the hassle and expense of using extension cables - a set- top aerial may be your only option.

What type of aerial do I need?

If you are installing a new aerial, we recommend a wideband rooftop aerial rather than a loft aerial. Loft aerials generally receive a weaker digital signal and are more likely to get interference from other electrical devices in the home. We suggest you have an aerial survey done before getting an aerial upgrade. Talk to your retailer or contact your local aerial installer.

Safety Warnings

Read all the instructions carefully before using the unit and keep them for future reference.

Retain the manual. If you pass the unit onto a third party make sure to include this manual.

Check that the voltage marked on the rating label matches your mains voltage.

Damage Please inspect the unit for damage after unpacking.

Do not continue to operate the unit if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way - switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.

Location of Unit The unit must be placed on a flat stable surface and should not be subjected to vibrations.

Do not place the unit on sloped or unstable surfaces as the unit may fall off or tip over.

The mains socket must be located near the unit and should be easily accessible.

This unit is designed for indoor use only.

Temperature Avoid extreme degrees of temperature, either hot or cold. Place the unit well away from heat sources such as radiators or gas/electric fires.

Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and other sources of heat.

Naked Flames Never place any type of candle or naked flame on the top of or near the unit.

Moisture To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or product damage, do not expose this unit to rain, moisture, dripping or splashing. No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the unit.

If you spill any liquid into the unit, it can cause serious damage. Switch it off at the mains immediately. Withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.

Ventilation To prevent the risk of electric shock or fire hazard due to overheating, ensure that curtains and other materials do not obstruct the ventilation vents.

Do not install or place this unit in a bookcase, built-in cabinet or in another confined space. Ensure the unit is well ventilated.

Make sure that there is a gap of at least 10 cm on both sides and a gap of 20 cm at the top.

Safety Always disconnect the unit from the mains supply before connecting/disconnecting other devices or moving the unit.

Unplug the unit from the mains socket during a lightning storm.

Mains Cable Make sure the unit or unit stand is not resting on top of the mains cable, as the weight of the unit may damage the mains cable and create a safety hazard.

If the mains cable is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

Interference Do not place the unit on or near appliances which may cause electromagnetic interference. If you do, it may adversely affect the operating performance of the unit, and cause a distorted picture or sound.

Optimum viewing View the unit in moderate light to prevent eye strain. It is recommended to watch the unit from a distance 3-7 times that of the screen height.

LCD screen The LCD screen is manufactured using high-precision technology. However, some tiny black points and/ or bright points (red, blue or green in colour) may constantly appear on the LCD screen. These points are generated in the manufacturing process and are normal.

Screen Burn A characteristic of Plasma and LCD TV Panels is that displaying the same image for a long time may cause a permanent after-image to remain on the screen. This is called screen burn. Most pictures shown on the unit will be constantly moving and fill the screen.

Examples of images that you need to watch out for are as follows (this is not an all-inclusive list):

1. Black Bars: If black bars appear at the left/right or top/bottom of the screen, it is recommended to change the format so that the picture fills the entire screen.

2. 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.

3. Time Displays 4. Teletext: Do not view a stationary page for long periods of time.

5. TV Menus 6. Pause Mode: Do not leave the screen in pause mode for long periods of time, e.g. When watching videos.

To prevent screen burn if viewing any of the above for long periods of time, reduce contrast and brightness when viewing. Once burn-in occurs it will never disappear completely.
