Typical connections

To view digital Freeview TV channels a signal must
be received from one of the following sources.
•An indoor or outdoor antenna
•RF output from a compatible cable system
NOTE: For receiving over-the-air TV broadcasts, we
recommend that an outdoor antenna is used.
If using an indoor antenna, you must ensure that the
antenna is designed to work in a weak signal area.
Only when in close proximity to a TV transmitter will
an indoor antenna be able to reproduce a signal as
strong as a roof antenna.
Should the picture “freeze” or break-up on any
channel, this is most likely due to poor signal
reception.

some older games consoles. Select SCART in the
Source Menu.

connector. Note: Only DTV signals may be viewed
from this output.
VIDEO & L/R: For connecting products that do not
have SCART or HDMI outputs. Select AV in the
Source Menu

headphones to this TV. Reduce the volume level
before connecting. Inserting the headphone jack
(3.5mm) will cause the internal speakers to be
muted.

want the TV changed from that setting, it is wise to
hide the remote control, this would stop
unauthorised use of other channels or features.
NOTE: If you have no button operation check
the lock settings before calling the helpline.
