for the first time, if any signal is detected, the channel information will be
saved on the TV, you may then switch back to the portable antenna supplied
and change your location to find the best place to receive the signal.

6. To search for Analogue TV, press MODE on the remote and you should see
either “AUTO”, “PAL” or “SECAM” at the top right corner of the screen.
Pressing MENU repeatedly will move to “PRESET” and “AUTO
SEARCH” is selected, press RIGHT to start searching for channels.
7. Please note the included portable antenna may only be used in areas where
signal is very strong. There may be difficulties in receiving signal with the
portable antenna in some regions at present, this is due to the fact that
Freeview (www.freeview.co.uk) is yet to operate in full power in the UK.
The government aims to achieve a full switchover by 2012, which will
occur in stages, region by region between 2008 and 2012, at present the
quality of Freeview reception varies in different regions across the UK.
As mentioned on the Freeview website, only 73% of the UK population is
able to receive Freeview at present and only a small number of households
might be able to use a set top aerial at present. This only applies if you live
in an area with coverage close to a transmitter, but reception would still be
unreliable and they strongly recommend that you use a roof top aerial for
good reception.
The reception will be improving along with the progress of the Digital
Switchover Program. Reception may also be affected by various factors
such as how close you are to transmitters, tall buildings, thick walls,
ceilings and weather etc.

1.A LCD display panel comprises a very large number of pixels and each pixel contains
three sub-pixels - red, green and blue. Due to the complex manufacturing process,
occasional pixel anomalies may occur. Pixel anomalies cannot be fixed or repaired and
can happen at any stage in the LCD's life. August products should not be deemed as
faulty if there are no more than three bright and dark pixels respectively.
2.Portable TV antennas included in the box are for people to watch Freeview TV in areas
where the signal is very strong and there may be difficulties in receiving signal with the
included portable antennas in some regions at present. This is due to the fact that
Freeview is yet to operate in full power in the UK. August TVs should not be deemed
as faulty if it can receive Freeview by connecting to a proper digital rooftop aerial.
