Disc Care

About Disc Terms:

Title: Generally, pictures or music compressed on a DVD are divided into several sections, "title".

Chapter: The smaller section unit of picture or music in a DVD under the title, usually one title is comprised of one or more chapters and each of them is numbered for easy searching, but some discs may not have a recording chapter.

Track: A segment of picture or music on a CD, each track is numbered for searching.

Care of Disc: Video disc contains high-density compressed data that needs proper handling.

1. Hold the disc with fingers by outer edge and/or the center spindle hole. Do not touch the disc's surface.
2. Do not bend or press the disc.
3. Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heating sources, store discs in cabinet vertically, and in dry condition.

Prevent exposure to: Direct sunlight, Heat or exhaust from a heating device, Extreme humidity.

Clean the disc surface with a soft, dry cleaning cloth, wipe the disc surface gently and radically from center toward the outer edge.

Do not apply thinner, alcohol, chemical solvent, or sprays when cleaning. Such cleaning fluids will permanently damage the disc surface.

Diagrams showing correct handling of a disc (holding by edge/center hole), incorrect handling (bending), and cleaning the disc surface.

Maintenance

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

Be sure to Disconnect the mains cable from the mains socket before any cleaning.

1. Use a soft dry cloth to wipe away the dust from the screen and surfaces.
2. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, clean the TV with a cloth which has been dipped in a weak soapy water. Wring the cloth until it is almost dry, then use it to wipe the TV.
3. Ensure there is no excess water on the screen. Allow any water or dampness to 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

The following table contains various hints and tips to get the best performance from your TV.

• TV cannot be switched on: Check that the TV is connected to the mains supply. Make sure all connected AV devices are switched off before switching on your TV.
• 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 the 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 Auto Standby 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 HDMI.
• Picture appears in wrong ratio: Adjust the Aspect Ratio settings in the PICTURE menu.

The audio function does not work.

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 you'll need to rescan your digital box or TV. Don't worry, it's easy to do. And once you've 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. If you are still experiencing blocking and the signal is strong, consult your local aerial installer for advice.
• 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 you're using a second TV in the bedroom and don't 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.

Display Modes

Specifications

Features and specifications are subject to change without prior notice.

This TV has been tested against the European standards for Energy efficiency using the standard signals and conditions specified in the standard. The result is shown on the energy efficiency label. This is the energy that you would expect the TV to consume under normal working conditions when measured over a period of time. At some times the TV will use more power than this and at some times less. The factors that cause this fluctuation are the actual signals being received, and the Volume setting. Generally speaking the mains voltage, brightness / contrast settings and other settings have a very small effect on energy usage and can to all intense and purposes be ignored. The difference between the power consumed when receiving a high bit rate channel with the volume at max and a low bit rate channel with volume at zero is usually less than 3 watts.

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.

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.

LED screen

The LED 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 LED screen. These points are generated in the manufacturing process and are normal.

Screen Burn

A characteristic of Plasma and LED 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.
