Kogan 65" LED TV (Full HD)

Assembling the Stand

Before attaching or detaching the stand, ensure the TV is turned off. Before performing any work, spread cushioning material over the base area to lay the TV on. This will prevent it from being damaged.

Stand Installation Instructions

The stand is attached to the base of the TV using three BM4X20mm screws on each side. The diagram shows the TV base with two stand legs being attached, each secured with three screws.

Safety Instructions

General Safety Instructions

• Risk of Electric Shock: DO NOT OPEN. Do not attempt to service the television yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to the Kogan customer support team.
• Fire and Electric Shock Prevention: Do not expose this product to rain or moisture. The television should not be exposed to dripping or splashing, and no liquid-filled objects, such as vases, should be placed on the case.
• In Case of Malfunction: In the event of smoke, strange noises, or a strange smell from the unit, follow these steps: Turn off the unit immediately, disconnect the power plug from the power outlet, and contact the Kogan customer support team. Never attempt to make repairs yourself.
• Object Insertion: Never push objects of any kind into the set through the cabinet slots, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-circuit parts, potentially resulting in fire or electric shock. Never spill any liquids onto the set. Use special caution in households where children are present. The television is not suitable for children under 4 years old to operate.
• Power Cords: Power supply cords should be routed safely to prevent dangers due to damaged cords. The mains plug serves as the main disconnect method, so it should be easily accessible and not be obstructed during use.
• Fire Hazards: To avoid fires, do not place naked flame sources, such as lit candles or burning incense, onto the casing of the television.
• Plug Handling: Do not pull the plug out of a power outlet by pulling on the power cable. Always grasp the plug and pull.
• Wet Hands: Never touch the plug with wet hands.
• Antenna System Safety: An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to avoid touching such power lines or circuits, as contact with them may be fatal.
• Usage: Always turn the set off when it is not being used. Unplug the television from the power outlet when it will not be used for a long time or when there is an electrical storm. Never touch the antenna cable during a lightning storm.
• Volume Levels: Excessive volume from earphones and headphones can cause permanent hearing loss. Always monitor the volume of noise from these devices, especially when children are using them.

Installation

• Ventilation: Ventilation should not be impeded or limited by covering the ventilation slots with items such as newspapers, tablecloths, or curtains. At least 10cm of space should be left around the apparatus for sufficient ventilation.
• Heat Sources: The television should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves, or other products that produce heat.
• Lighting: Place the television in a position where the screen is not exposed to direct sunlight. It is best to have soft, indirect lighting while watching, and you should avoid a completely dark viewing environment and reflections to avoid eye fatigue.
• Magnetic Fields: Keep the product away from high magnetic fields (such as near an amplifier speaker) to avoid affecting the tint.
• Stability: Do not place the television on an unstable table, stand, or shelf. The set may fall, causing serious injury as well as damage to the television itself. If moving the television on a cart, move the unit with care, as sudden stops and starts may cause the television to overturn.
• Water Proximity: Do not place this television near water, for example, near a bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool, or in a damp basement.
• Condensation: When moving the television to a warm location from a cold location, allow some time for any dew or condensation inside the television to evaporate fully before you turn the unit on.
• Secure Mounting: To prevent injury, the television must be securely attached to the floor/wall in accordance to the supplied installation instructions.

Cleaning

Unplug the television from the power supply before cleaning. Do not use any liquid cleaners or harsh chemicals. Use a soft, damp cloth.

PVR (Personal Video Recorder)

Personal Video Recorder File System

WARNING:

• Before connecting your USB device to the TV, please back up all of the files on it to prevent them from being corrupted or lost.
• A USB disk must be formatted when first used for PVR. Any existing data on the disk will be lost during the formatting process. Please back up the disk if you do not want to lose the data on it. Kogan recommends using a dedicated storage device for PVR storage. Do not remove or disconnect the disk during formatting or during reading/writing.
• Do not modify the PVR files on a PC.

Note: Make sure the USB device is compatible with the TV and is capable of supporting PVR recording.

Formatting the USB

Press the LIST button to enter the PVR setting menu, then press the [Right Arrow] to select the Device list. Press ENTER to enter the submenu. In the Device list menu, press the [Up Arrow] or [Down Arrow] to select the USB drive you want to use for the PVR service, then press the RED button to start the formatting. Note: The disk must be formatted when first used for PVR. Do not disconnect the disk or turn the power off during formatting. The larger your device, the longer the format process will take. This is not a malfunction; please wait for the process to finish.

PVR Guide

If the disk for the PVR is ready, programs can be recorded in DTV mode.
