Important information
Safety
Ensure that your domestic mains supply voltage
matches the voltage indicated on the identication
sticker located at the back of your set. Where the
mains plug, AC inlet or an appliance coupler is used
as disconnect device, it shall remain readily operable.
On certain models, the light indicator is located at the
side of the TV set. The absence of a light indication
at the front does not mean that the TV set is fully
disconnected from the mains. To disconnect the TV
set completely, the mains plug must be pulled out.
The TV set’s components are sensitive to heat. The
maximum ambient temperature should not exceed
35º Celsius. Do not cover the vents at the back or
sides of the TV set. Leave sufcient space around it to
allow adequate ventilation. Install the appliance away
from any source of heat (replace, etc.) or appliances
creating strong magnetic or electric elds.
Moisture in rooms where the set is installed should
not exceed 75% humidity. Moving the set from a cold
place to a warm one can cause condensation on the
screen (and on some components inside the TV set).
Let the condensation evaporate before switching the
TV set on again.
The or POWER/ button on the TV set or the
button on the remote control can be used to switch it
on and put it into standby mode. If you are not going
to be watching the TV for a lengthy period of time,
switch it off completely by removing the plug from the
mains power socket.
During thunderstorms, we recommend that you
disconnect the TV set from the mains and aerial so
that it is not affected by electrical or electromagnetic
surges that could damage it. For this reason, keep the
mains and aerial sockets accessible so they can be
disconnected, if necessary.
Unplug the TV set immediately if you notice it giving
off a smell of burning or smoke. You must never,
under any circumstances, open the TV set yourself,
as you run the risk of an electric shock in doing so.

Troubleshooting
Please check the following list before requesting
service.
There is no picture or sound.
• Make sure the power cord is properly inserted in the
power outlet.
• Make sure the source type is set correctly.
• Make sure the antenna is properly connected.
• Make sure the volume is not set to minimum or the
sound is not set to mute.
• Make sure the headphones are not connected.
• The TV may be receiving a signal other than from
TV broadcasting stations.
Picture is not clear.
• Make sure the antenna cable is properly connected.
• Consider whether your TV signal is being properly
received.
• Poor picture quality can occur due to a VHS
camera, camcorder, or other peripheral being
connected at the same time. Switch off one of the
other peripherals.
• The ‘ghost’ or double image may be caused by
obstruction to the antenna due to high-rise buildings
or hills. Using a highly directional antenna may
improve the picture quality.
• The horizontal dotted lines shown on the pictures
may be caused by electrical interference, e.g., hair
dryer, nearby neon lights, etc. Turn off or remove
these.
Picture is too dark, too light or tinted.
• Check the colour adjustment.
• Check the brightness setting.
• Check the sharpness function.
Remote control does not work.
• Check the batteries of the remote control.
• Make sure the remote sensor window on the TV
front is not under strong uorescent lighting.
• Try to clean the remote sensor window on the TV
front with a soft cloth.
If the above suggestions do not solve your technical
issue, please refer to the warranty card for service
information.
