Please, read these safety instructions and
respect the following warnings before the
ap-pliance is operated:
This TV with the weight of more than 20 kg must be lifted
and carried by at least two people.
Be careful! This TV does not contain any parts which could
be repaired by the user. In case of a fault, contact the produ-
cer or the authorized service. The contact with certain parts
inside the appliance might endanger your life. The guaran-
tee is not provided for the faults caused by non-professional
interactions!
Do not remove the rear part of the appliance.
In order to prevent fire
spread, always keep candles
and other open flames away
from this product.
This appliance is designed for receiving and reproduction of
video and sound signals. Any other use is strictly forbidden.
The ideal distance to watch TV is approximately five times
the diagonal of the screen. The light striking upon the
screen from other light sources can cause reflections and
make the quality of the picture worse.
Please, ensure the sufficient ventilation and appropriate
distance of the appliance from other pieces of furniture.
The TV set is designed exclusively for the operation in a
dry place. When using the appliance outside, please, make
sure it is protected against moisture (rain, splashing water).
Never expose the appliance to moisture.
Do not place any containers with water on the appliance,
such as vases, etc. These containers might get pushed over,
which would endanger electric safety. Place the appliance
exclusively on flat and stable surfaces. Do not place any
objects such as newspaper or blankets, etc. on or under the
appliance.
Make sure the appliance does not stand on any power
cables as they might get damaget. Mobile phones and other
devices such as WLAN adapters, monitoring cameras with
wireless signal transmission, etc. might cause electromag-
netic interference and they should not be placed near the
appliance.
Do not place the appliance near heating elements or in
a place with direct sunshine as it has a negative effect on
cooling of the appliance. Heat storage is dangerous and it
can seriously reduce the lifetime of the appliance. In order
to ensure the safety, ask the qualified person to remove the
dirt from the appliance.
Try to prevent the mains cable or (if it is part of delivery)
mains adapter damage. The appliance can only be connec-
ted with a supplied mains cable/adapter.
Storms are dangerous for all electric appliances. If the mains
or aerial wiring is struck by the lightening, the appliance
might get damaged, even if it is turned off. Thus you should
disconnect all the cables and connectors of the appliance
before the storm.
To clean the screen of the appliance use only a damp and
soft cloth. Use only clean water, never detergents or in no
case dissol-vents.
Warning:
Never connect any external devices to a live appliance.
Switch off not only the TV but also the devices which are
being connected! Plug the appliance plug into the wall
outlet after connecting the external devices and the aerial!
The product construction responds the protection class 1.
Only a properly installed wall outlet with a guard wire (230
V~/50 Hz)of public mains can be used as power source.
Always make sure there is free access to the appliance main
switch and to its mains plug.
The appliance is not designed for a use in a workplace fitted
with monitors.
The systematic use of headphones at high volume might
lead to irreversible hearing damage.
Ensure environmental disposal of this appliance and any
components including batteries. When in doubt, please,
contact your local authority for details of recycling.
While installing the appliance, do not forget that furniture
surfaces are treated with various varnishes, plastics, etc. or
they might be polished. The additions contained in these
products might cause destruction of base material of appli-
ance stand. This will result in the holdovers of this material
stuck to the furniture surface, which are difficult to remove,
if not even impossible.
The screen of your TV responds to the top quality require-
ments and it was checked in details for accidental faulty
pixels several times. Due to the technological properties of
the manufacturing process, it is not possible to eliminate the
existence of a small number of faulty points on the screen
for 100% (even with maximum care while production provi-
ded). These faulty pixels are not considered faults in terms of
guarantee conditions, if their extent is not greater than the
boundaries defined by DIN norm.

Important safety instructions
Important information regarding use of
video games, computers, captions and
other fixed image displays.
The extended use of fixed image program material can
cause a permanent “shadow image “ on LCD screen (this
is sometimes incorrectly referred to as “burnout to the
screen“ ). This shadow image is then permanently visible
on the screen in the backro-und. It is a partly irreversible
damage. You can avoid such a damage by respecting the
following instructions:
Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum
viewing level.
Do not display the fixed image for a long period of time.
Avoid displaying of:
»Teletext time and charts,
»TV/DVD menu, e.g. DVD contents,
»In the„Pause“ mode (hold): Do not use this mode for a
long time, e.g. while watching a DVD or a video.
»Turn off the appliance if you are not using it.
Batteries
Observe the correct polarity when inser-
ting the batteries.
Do not expose batteries to high tempera-
tures and do not place them on locations
where the temperature might increase
quickly, e.g. near the fire or on the direct
sunshine.
Do not expose batteries to excessive
radiant heat, do not throw them into the
fire, do not disassemble them and do not try ato recharge
unrechargeable batteries. They could leak out or explode.
»Never use different batteries together or mix new and
old ones.
»Dispose of batteries in an environmentally friendly way.
»Most of the EU countries regulate the disposal of batte-
ries by law.
Product disposal
Waste electrical products should not
be disposed of with household waste.
Separate disposal facilities exist. Check
with your Local Authority or retailer for
recycling advice.

of time, it may harm your eyesight.
Watching the TV or playing video games that incorporate
3D imaging with the 3D glasses for a long period of time can
cause drowsiness, headaches or fatigue to you and/or your
eyes. If you have a headache, or otherwise feel fatigued or
drowsy, stopwatching the TV and take a rest.
Pregnant woman, seniors, persons with heart problems or
persons who experience frequent drowsiness should refrain
from watching 3D TV.
Some 3D imaging may cause you to duck or dodge the
image displayed in the video. Therefore, it is best if you do
not watch 3D TV near fragile objects or near any objects that
can be knocked over easily.
Please prevent children under the age of 5 from watching
3D TV as it may affect their vision development.
Warning for photosensitization seizure:
Some viewers may experience a seizure or epilepsy when
exposed to certain factors, including flashing lights or ima-
ges in TV or video games. If you or anybody from your family
has a history of epilepsy or seizure, please consult with
your doctor before watching 3D TV. Also certain symptoms
can occur in unspecified conditions without any previous
history. If you experience any of the following symptoms,
immediately stop watching the 3D imaging and consult
a doctor: dizziness or light headedness, visual transition
or altered vision, visual or facial instability, such as eye or
muscle twitching, unconscious action, convulsion, loss of
conscience, confusion or disorientation, loss of directional
sense, cramps, or nausea. Parents should monitor their
children, including teenagers, for these symptoms as they
may be more sensitive to the effects of watching 3D TV.
Risk of photosensitization seizure can be
reduced with the following actions.
Take frequent breaks from watching 3D TV.
For those who have vision that is different in each eye, they
should watch the TV after taking vision correction measures.
Watch the TV so that your eyes are on the same level as the
3D screen and refrain from sitting too closely to the TV.
Do not watch the 3D imaging when tired or sick, and avoid
watching the 3D imaging for a long period of time.
Do not wear the 3D glasses for any other purpose than view-
ing 3D imaging on a 3D TV.
Some viewers may feel disoriented after watching 3D TV.
Therefore, after you watch 3D TV, take a moment to regain
awareness of your situation before moving.

fig. Afig. B
Getting started - initial set up
As part of our ongoing development to reduce power consumption, we have added an extra function to this Television called
‘Ecohome’ (you will see this during the first time installation set up). Power consumption using the Ecohome function is
approximately 15% lower than some other modes. The picture brightness is reduced using the Ecohome function. If this function is
not suitable for your viewing environment, you can select other modes as necessary. (Please note, ‘Professional’ mode is for optimum
default picture settings, however, power consumption is approximately 15% higher than ‘Ecohome’ mode)
Please refer to the user guide section ‘Picture settings’ in order to change the mode to one that maybe more suitable for your
environment. There is also a shortcut button on the remote control called ‘P-Mode’ should you wish to change to another mode.

3D settings
For the best 3D picture effect, watch your TV from vertical angle +/- 10°.
3D Type- When connecting a 3D product sometimes the picture maybe displayed incorrectly; choose from the following settings to
correct this. You can toggle these settings by pressing the '3D' button on your remote (see page 11).
3D off Turns 3D off
Side by Side 3D format is commonly used in 3D broadcasting, works by halving the horizontal resolution of videos to
store left and right eye images in each frame. It effectively displays up to 960 x 1,080-pixel pictures to each
eye, enabling TV stations to telecast 3D content at a much lower bandwidth compared with 3D Blu-ray discs.
Typical supported resolutions are limited to 720p and 1080i for 3D TV programs.
Users will need to manually select the correct 3D format to properly display side-by-side
3D content on a 3D TV.
Top Bottom 3D format is alternative for 3D broadcast, which is pretty similar to side-by-side 3D except that it halves the
vertical resolution instead. Available primarily up to 720p resolution, top-and-bottom 3D offers 1,280 pixels
horizontally. The higher pixel count is generally considered more suitable for displaying panning motion in
sports programs.
Frame Packing As its name suggests, this format stacks the left and right eye images in each frame to retain the content's
original resolution for the best 3D pictures. Most, if not all, 1080p 3D Blu-ray movie discs and 720p PS3 3D
games are produced utilizing this technique. Another key differentiator is that all 3D TVs should be able to
automatically detect frame-packing 3D signals and correctly display the content without user intervention.
Line by Line The picture signals for left and right eyes are interleaved in alternate lines. The left clip’s resolution is halved
then placed in the odd lines of the video stream. Correspondingly, the right clip’s resolution is halved then
placed in the even lines of the video stream. When combined the video stream totals 1920×1080.
Exchange 3D L/R- change picture sequence for different viewing
2D to 3D- Changes the picture from regular 2 dimensions to 3 (3D). Please note as content is being changed by the TV the effects are limited

General I would like to have louder
sound by connecting
additional speakers.
There are 2 options:
1) Use Digital COAX output connected to an external amplifier/surround sound
system.
2) Use the 3.5mm headphone output and a 3.5mm to phono cable (available
separately) to connect to an amplifier/surround sound system.
General Why are some options in
the menu unavailable and
greyed out.
Some options are only available in certain sources, i.e. HDMI, PC/VGA. They are
unavailable in the other sources where they have no affect.
TV I have tuned in Digital TV
but I am not receiving any
or all of the channels and/
or the channels I receive are
breaking up.
1) Check you are in an area that can receive Digital TV .
2) Check you are using an aerial that is able to receive a good digital signal. In most
cases, you will need an outdoor digital hi-gain/wideband aerial. In areas that have
excellent digital coverage, you may be able to use a loft type aerial but it is highly
likely that you will also need to connect a booster between the back of the TV and the
TV aerial wall socket. Unfortunately, to receive a good enough digital signal, it is not
possible to use a portable/indoor type aerial.
TV I have re-tuned my television
but when I switch it off it is
not storing the channels.
Complete a first time installation, please refer to the set-up menu section of the
manual of how to do this.
VCR/DVD
Recorder
I have connected the TV to
my VCR or DVD Recorder via
SCART but it is not recording.
In addition to connecting via SCART, you should connect the aerial cable from the
wall socket to your VCR/DVD Recorder and another aerial cable from the VCR/DVD
Recorder to the TV.
Game Consoles I have connected my PS3 to
the TV via HDMI, but I am
not receiving any pictures or
sound on my Television.
1) Ensure the TVs source is on HDMI.
2) Check your settings on your PS3 are as per the PS3 instruction manual.
Game Consoles I have connected my Xbox
360 to the TV via Component
Cables (Red, Green & Blue)
but I am not receiving any
sound.
Component cables only provide HD Pictures. For the sound you will need to connect
the Red & White audio cables on the Xbox to the Red & White phono inputs on the
rear of the TV. Please refer to the‘Connections’pages.
USB Mode I have inserted a USB Memory
Key, but the TV does not
recognise it.
Ensure the USB Memory Key is formatted to type FAT32.
USB Mode Using a USB portable hard
drive.
If you wish to use a portable hard drive larger than 32GB, please note that it must
be formatted to the FAT32 file system in order to operate on this TV. Windows XP/
Vista computers are only capable of formatting up to 32GB, therefore, you will need a
software programme/utility to format larger hard drives. Please refer to the web site
for more information.
System Lock I have changed the password
on the television and now
forgotten it.
There is a master password of 4711, to gain access to the TV menu and reset the
normal password.
3D mode The picture is not displaying
correctly
Press the 3D button to toggle through the different 3D picture formats.
3D mode I have downloaded a 3D
