GENERAL INFORMATION
Before operating your TV set, carefully read the recommen-
dations preceding the instructions for use.
SAFETY
Here are some recommendations that will enable you to use
your new TV set at its best and safely.
•Do not use the set in case the mains cable or the mains
plug show abnormalities or are damaged.
•The TV set has a high voltage, therefore never remove the
rear panel.
•Never try to recharge, heat or throw the batteries on the
fire: they may explode.
•Always have the TV set checked and repaired by spe-
cialised personnel.
•Make sure children do not introduce objects into the set.
•Do not let children play with the batteries.
•Never use the set in a humid environment or near sprin-
kling water.
•Never let children play with the batteries.
•Never let children play with the packaging parts: bags,
plastic sheets, cardboard because they may cause chok-
ing and injuries.
ECOLOGY
Recommendations for the protection of the environment:
– Packaging
The materials used for packaging are in conformity with envi-
ronmental regulations.
If you do not have space problems, keep them at least until
the product warranty expires.
If you want to eliminate them, do so without damaging the
environment.
– Batteries
The batteries that are not of the ecological (environmentally
friendly) type must be brought to suitable sites for collection
and disposal of polluting material.
INSTALLATION
•In order to obtain a well-contrasted image, position your
TV set so as to prevent light from lamps or the sun rays
from reflecting on the screen.
•Place your TV set in a well-ventilated room. Aeration slots
located on the rear panel must remain free because they
have been designed to cool the set.
If the TV set is installed on a shelf or in a cabinet, leave
enough space around the appliance.
•Never put vases or bowls with water or other liquids on
your TV set. If they should overturn, the liquid could spill
and cause damage.
CLEANING
Your TV set must be cleaned using a soft cloth. Do not use
products containing abrasive substances, solvents or alcohol.
When cleaning your TV set turn it off and do not allow liquids
to get into the aeration slots.
CONNECTIONS
– To the electric supply
• To connect the television to the mains proceed as fol-
lows:
01) - Connect the lead (supplied) to socket (26).
02) - Lastly put the plug (at the other end of the lead) in the
mains socket at 230Vac ~ 50Hz (for Europe) and 110Vac ~
60Hz (for the USA and Japan).
– To the antenna
Connect the antenna cable (75 Ohm coaxial) to the antenna
socket located at the rear of your TV set.
• To use the monopole (2) on the television set, instead of
the fixed home aerial, proceed as follows:
01) - Grip the monopole's plug (27) with your fingers and pull
it out towards you. The plug and its lead will slip out of their
housing easily (27).
02) - Turn the plug (27) downwards and put it in the aerial
socket (25).
03) - Lastly, extract the monopole (2) and turn it until you find
the best reception position.
Remote control
Two 1.5 V batteries are necessary to operate the remote control.
Open the flap on the back of the remote control and insert the
batteries, making sure that the polarities are not inverted.
Never replace batteries individually as those already used take
energy out from the new ones thus reducing their duration.
The batteries need to be replaced when the remote control
efficiency becomes unstable, that is to say when there is a
reduction of the distance or action range.
Never throw run down batteries away, always deposit them in
the appropriate collection and disposal containers.

ENGLISH
In any case, in order to protect the environment, always use
batteries that do not contain mercury.
QUICK OPERATION OF THE TV
SET
The previous sections introduced some rules and recom-
mendations that you shall certainly acknowledge as being
useful. This paragraph aims to make up for the lost time and
to satisfy your desire to use your new TV set as soon as pos-
sible.
HOW TO TURN ON YOUR TV SET
1. 1. Effect the connections to the electrical supply and to the
antenna as indicated in the CONNECTIONS paragraph.
2. Push the main switch. After a few seconds the screen
lights up and the TV set switches on programme 1. You
will probably see only some bright moving dots. In techni-
cal jargon this is called "snow effect".
PROGRAMMED SWITCHING ON
You can have your television set switch itself on automatically at
the time wanted and on the programme wanted only when it is
in the standby mode.
You need the remote control to do this:
01) - Enter the OTHER FUNCTIONS menu by pressing the
MENU key (8) 4 times or the blue key (13) once to access the
function directly.
02) - Move the cursor to the "Time --/--" function with the
/keys (5).
03) - Tap in the current time using the numerical keys (4).
04) - Now move the cursor to the next function "On at --/--"
using the /keys (5).
05) - Tap in the time you want the television to come on.
06) - Move the cursor to the next function "Go to prog. 0".
07) - Tap in the number of the programme you want to see
when the television switches itself on using the numerical
keypad (4).
08) - Exit the OTHER FUNCTIONS menu by pressing the TV
key (14).
Programming will remain stored even if you use key (2) on
the remote to switch it off and then it goes in standby but it
will be deleted if switched off via the mains switch (1).
HOW TO STORE PROGRAMMES WITH THE
AUTOMATIC TUNING SYSTEM
To rapidly programme the channels available in your area
proceed as follows:
1. Enter the SUMMARY menu by keeping the MENU button
(8) pressed for at least 2 sec.
2. The SUMMARY menu is displayed on the screen, the cur-
sor is in the position corresponding to programme 1.
3. Start the automatic tuning by keeping the white automatic
tuning button (9) pressed for about 2 seconds until the
cursor begins to flash.
4. You will notice that the system stops for a short period on
each channel found, marks it with "ok" and then the
search starts again. During this time interval several
checks are carried out so as to arrange the channels
according to their importance.
E. g. RAI 1 on programme 1, RAI 2 on programme 2,….
The information box displays the search percentage con-
dition.

INGLESE_OK 12-09-2003 11:47 Pagina 8

5. THE WHOLE AUTOMATIC TUNING SEQUENCE CAN
TAKE FROM 5 TO 10 MINUTES (depending on the num-
ber of broadcasting stations found) . During this time peri-
od DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTON (neither on the front
panel nor on the remote control).
Moreover, it is normal that a TV channel is stored more
than once: for example RAI 2 shall be stored on
Programme 2 but it can be also found on Programme 8.
6. When the tuning operation is over, the information box will
display "SEARCH 100%".
Now the system automatically ARRANGES and STORES the
programmes.
This operation takes a few minutes. Once it is over, the mes-
sage "READY" will be displayed on the screen, the TV set
turns off and then turns on automatically on programme 1.
HOW TO SET THE VOLUME
Buttons + / - (7) reduce and increase the volume.
Any variation is automatically stored.
HOW TO CHANGE THE PROGRAMME
Digitise the figures of the desired programme using the but-
tons 4.
E. g. To select programme 15 digitise
HOW TO ACCESS TELETEXT
1. Press the button TXT (17) to visualise teletext on the chan-
nels broadcasting both TV programmes and Teletext.
2. Insert the page number (always three digits) using the
numerical buttons (4).
E. g. To select page 501 digitise
3. To go back to the TV mode push button (14).
HOW TO TURN THE TV SET OFF (STAND
BY)
Push button (2) on the remote control to turn the TV to stand-by.
The stand-by led (20) on the TV remains on.
HOW TO DISCONNECT THE TV SET FROM
THE MAINS
To switch off the TV set and disconnect it from the mains, viz. at
the end of the day, push the main switch (1) on the front panel.
This operation, already recommended in the paragraph con-
cerning safety, saves energy and reactivates the demagnetis-
ing circuit of the TV screen, which, due to the earth’s electro-
magnetic fields or of a different nature, might display unde-
sired colour spots altering the vision of the image.
Switching off the TV set and switching it on again (after one
hour minimum) allows the inner circuits to make the neces-
sary demagnetisation that removes any possible undesired
colour spots.
AUTOMATIC SWITCH-OFF TO STAND-BY
The TV set is equipped with a safety system that, in absence
of a broadcasting signal (at night for instance), automatically
switches it to stand-by after 10 minutes.
MENU-CONTROLLED FUNC-
TIONS
Your TV set is equipped with a computerised system that,
through access MENUS or simple subsequent selections,
enables you to change the standard adjustments carried out
in the factory and personalise them with a remote control
according to your needs in a quick and simple way. The
MENUS are arranged on two “Carousels”:
- The first “carousel” contains the Menus whose entries are
subject to frequent changes.
(e.g. contrast, brightness, etc.)
Press the MENU button to enter the menu SOUND. The user
can proceed in the “carousel” of subsequent menus
(…..IMAGE, SUMMARY, OTHER FUNCTIONS) by pressing
the menu button (8) again. The TV mode is automatically
accessed at the end of the carousel.

Access to each single menu is also possible directly by using
the coloured buttons (13):
- RED button – for access to the AUDIO menu
- GREEN button – for access to the IMAGE menu
- YELLOW button – for access to the SUMMARY menu
- BLUE button – for access to the OTHER FUNCTIONS
menu
– The second “Carousel” contains those menus whose
entries are not subject to frequent changes.
(e.g. language selection, channel storing, etc.).
Keep the MENU button pressed for at least two seconds to
gain access to the SUMMARY menu.
You can proceed in the menu carousel by pressing the
MENU (8) button again. The TV mode is automatically
accessed at the end of the carousel.
The second carousel is not accessible if an external source
has been selected (e.g. AV1 or SVHS input) or with TV input
on the models equipped with CHILD LOCK and HOTEL
MODE functions activated.
FIRST CAROUSEL:
The menus of the first Carousel remain active on the screen
until operations are carried out; (e. g. movement of the cursor,
adjustments, etc.). The Menus automatically deactivate after 7
seconds if no operation is carried out , or by pressing the TV
(14) button.
AUDIO MENU:
This menu contains the following functions:
•Volume: volume variation is displayed with a 32-segment
bar. Once the audio level has been set, it is stored auto-
matically.
•AVL:it activates or deactivates the automatic volume limi-
tation. When the TV programme is interrupted by an adver-
tisement, most of the time the audio increases to unpleas-
ant levels; with this function the audio level remains practi-
cally unvaried.
Here is an example of how to activate the AVL function:
1. Enter the AUDIO menu by pressing MENU button (8) or
the RED (13) coloured button for direct access.
2. The screen displays the AUDIO menu with the red CUR-
SOR highlighting the VOLUME function.

image configurations. For instance:
The GAMES selection can be set using scart input video
games with medium-low contrast and brightness.
The CINEMA selection can be set for the vision of video-
tapes, increasing the definition value.
Lastly, the SPORT selection can be set with medium-high
contrast and colour values, to enhance the field depth and to
obtain brighter colours.
If brightness and contrast are wrongly set in such a way

e.g. Cinema. If you want to select Nature, press button (11)
until the word Nature appears on the screen. (See also the
DIRECT ACCESS FUNCTIONS paragraph).
SUMMARY MENU
This menu contains a list of the programmes available. It is
possible to associate a name of about 5 characters to each
programme. For example, in the figure below programme 1
has been associated with the wording RA/1 (to insert the
names, see “Second carousel” chapter).
The main purpose of the SUMMARY menu is to display the
contents of the programmes either by moving the CURSOR

3. It is now possible to digitise number 3 on the remote con-
trol by using the numerical buttons (4), the cursor moves
on 3 and programme 3 appears on the screen.
Alternatively, from the start position 12 (as indicated in the
picture) place the cursor on 3 using buttons /(5) and -
/ +(7).

INSTALLATION MENU
If you know the numbers of the channels received in your
area, you can store them one by one through the installation
menu (NOTE:unless you are an expert user, we suggest you
ask your installer to do this for you). This menu contains the
necessary functions to tune and store each single pro-
gramme. The functions are the following:
•Programme:insert the programme number you want to
store the broadcasting station in. The number can be
inserted either by using the numeric buttons (4) or using
the -/ +buttons (7) (scrolling can be speeded up by keep-
ing one of the two -/ +buttons pressed for a longer peri-
od). NOTE: Reserve programme Ø to store your video
recorder channel with the AFC deactivated.
•System:the TV set can recognise the colour standards
automatically (except for the FRANCE standard which has
to be selected manually).
•Channel type:selects whether a channel is a CH-type (a
traditional band) or a S-type channel (via cable or hyper-
band).
•Channel:insert the channel number of the TV programme
to store.
Insert the number either by using the numeric buttons (4)
or the + / - (7) buttons (keeping one of the two buttons
pressed for a longer period activates the channels auto-
matic search). CH-type channels range from 1 to 69, the
S-type channels range from 1 to 54.
•Fine-tuning:it makes a fine adjustment of the frequency
within the channel possible.
•AFC:automatic frequency control. When it is activated it
automatically hooks onto the correct frequency value. It
deactivates itself when a correction is made using “ Fine-
Tuning”.
•Store:it allows the settings displayed in the menu to be
stored. Press one of the two -/ +(7) buttons: the wording
"stored" appears on the screen for 3 seconds, indicating
that the action has been completed successfully.
Below is an example of how to manually tune into and store a
broadcasting station.
Example: tune into and store channel CH 23 (RAI 2) on pro-
gramme 2:
1. Enter the menus of the Second Carousel by keeping the
MENU button (8) pressed for at least 2 sec.
2. Enter the INSTALLATION menu by pressing the MENU
button (8).
3. The INSTALLATION menu is displayed on the screen with
the CURSOR highlighting the PROGRAMME entry.

•AV1:it selects the external source, be it a VCR or a
Decoder.
•Max. Volume:it limits the maximum volume level.
To gain access to these functions, proceed as follows:
1. Enter the menus of the second Carousel by keeping
MENU button (8) pressed for at least 2 seconds.
2. Enter the CONFIGURATION menu by pressing MENU but-
ton (8) twice.
3. The screen displays the CONFIGURATION menu with the
CURSOR on NATION .
Your TV has been pre-set before leaving the factory so as to
correctly match Nation, Language and Channel list.
However it may be necessary to carry out some changes either
of Nation or Language in order to have a correct arrangement of
channels during the automatic tuning operation.
In the above cases follow this procedure:
1. Position the cursor on the entry to be changed, using the
/buttons (5).
2. Select the correct configuration by using the -/ +buttons (7).
CHANNEL MEMORISATION
This operation cannot be carried out in the factory as the
channels that can be received vary according to the area
where the receiver is located.
You can memorise channels one at a time or using the auto-
matic tuning system.
MANUAL TUNING SYSTEM
To carry out manual tuning, see instructions on chapter
“INSTALLATION MENU”.
AUTOMATIC TUNING SYSTEM
(SOME INFORMATION)
To carry out automatic tuning see the instructions in the
"Quick operation of the TV set" chapter.
The AUTOMEMO automatic tuning system automatically
tunes into and stores channels; those also transmitting their
recognition code are stored in the first programmes according
to their importance, e.g. RAI 1 in programme 1 (the pro-
gramme name is also inserted automatically), RAI 2 in 2,
RAI 3 in 3 and so on. The channels without recognition code,
usually those that do not broadcast Teletext, are stored in the
sequence in which they are found during automatic tuning.
Channels with a poor reception are stored at the end.
BEFORE STARTING THE AUTOMATIC TUNING OPERA-
TION MAKE SURE THAT THE CONFIGURATION MENU
CONTAINS THE APPROPRIATE NATION, OTHERWISE THE
CHANNEL ARRANGEMENT OPERATION DOES NOT TAKE
PLACE.
The whole automatic tuning sequence can take from 5 to 10
minutes (depending on the number of stations detected).
During this period do not give any command to the TV (nei-
ther using the front panel nor the remote control). It is normal
that a broadcasting station is stored more than once, e.g..
RAI 2 is stored on Programme 2 and on Programme 8 as
well. If you do not want multiple storage, simply eliminate the
unwanted ones from the SUMMARY menu by means of the
CANCEL button (see the SUMMARY MENU paragraph).
IMPORTANT! (for multi-standard models only)
To effect automatic tuning/automemo on TV sets receiving
also French signals, SET THE CHANNEL LIST ON
“FRANCE”.
IMPORTANT! (for multi-standard models only)
In multi-standard models the automemo creates some multiple
storages, some of which do not reproduce the sounds correct-
ly; this occurs because the audio standard is not the same for
all Countries. In this case simply eliminate the programmes that
are not tuned properly.
DIRECT ACCESS FUNCTIONS
These functions do not require access to a menu, but they
are directly available on the remote control.
•Button (3) Audio zero setting: this button is also called
MUTING and it rapidly turns off and restores the audio. It

•Button (12): this button displays the correct time (on chan-
nels broadcasting Teletext), the programme number (and
its name if previously assigned), the pre-set image and
the audio level.
•Button (10): Timer: it has the same function as the timer

ration.
•Button (7): these buttons increase or decrease the vol-
ume. An audio level bar is displayed on the screen.
•Button (5): this button allows forward () and backward
() scrolling of programmes.
•Button (15): this button modifies the OSD or TXT back-
ground from a) completely transparent, to b) semi trans-
parent or to c) black. When the transmission standard is in
PAL this key displays no "Programme Number" information
on the screen.
•Button (6):this button modifies the video input source for
your TV, e.g.
1. By pressing the AV (6) button once you select AV
2. By pressing the AV button a second time you select S-VHS
3. By pressing the AV button a third time you select the TV
source
TELETEXT FUNCTIONS
The Teletext is a video information system (video magazine)
broadcast by many TV stations and concerning specific top-
ics. This data, grouped under headings, is organised in
pages, each of which is identified by a three-digit number.
One of the pages (usually page 100) contains the general
index with the relative identification number.
Different stations broadcast Teletext in different ways. The
identification of the broadcasting mode is carried out auto-
matically by the internal decoder of the TV set.
Currently, two more types of Teletext are available besides the
standard one: TOP and FLOF or FASTEXT.
The page numbers or the information headings appear on the
bottom line in different colours and they can be selected by
pressing the button with the same colour on the remote con-
trol.
Note: the Teletext information is superimposed on the TV sig-
nal and is broadcast cyclically; for this reason, a short time
may pass after selecting a page or a heading before the page
appears on the screen.
– STANDARD Teletext:
In the following picture, the four buttons (13) select the page
number displayed on the bottom line. After each selection the
page numbers are updated, i.e. the first three on the left indi-
cate the subsequent pages and the last on the right, indicates
the page before the one being displayed.
– TOP Teletext
In the following picture, the two RED (13) and GREEN (13)
buttons corresponding to the arrows change (forward and
backward) the page number sequentially. The YELLOW but-
ton (13) selects the heading, whereas the BLUE (13) button
selects the subject. In the picture, the general heading is
"Ultim'ora" (Latest News) in the specific subject “Sport news”.

– FLOF/FASTEXT Teletext
In the following picture, the four buttons (13) choose amongst
the subject headings displayed on the bottom line. At each
selection the headings change according to the criterion fixed
by the broadcasting station.
Note: the functions described here are accessible only after
activating the Teletext by the TXT button (17).
•Numerical buttons (4):You can select the page using the
four coloured buttons (13) as well as digitising the three
digits with the numerical buttons (4). The system briefly
waits for the page requested to be broadcast and then dis-
plays it.
•/buttons (5):these two buttons allow the pages to be
selected sequentially. Shortly after the Teletext selection,
the internal memory of the TV set stores four information
pages: the page displayed as well as the previous and the
two successive ones. This makes appearance of these four
pages on the video quicker when selected.
•Buttons (9):to facilitate the reading of the text, this button
enables you to enlarge it. By pressing it successively the
upper half is enlarged first, followed by the lower part. The
third time you press it, the text is restored to its normal size.
•Button (12):gives you direct access to the index page
(often corresponding to page 100) or the MENU page with
the subjects.
If the page looks like the one in the picture, it means that
the Teletext broadcast is not standard and does not even
broadcast the MENU. In this case, press button (12) again
to exit the menu function.
•Button (16):this button stops on a page on the video. In
some cases the information can be contained in groups of
more than one page that scroll automatically during vision.
If you want to stop on a page, press this button (16). On
the upper left part of the page, the word "STOP" will be
displayed instead of the page number. To unlock the page,
press button (16) again.
•Button (18):In some cases it may take a while for a page
to be displayed. If in the meantime you want to watch a TV
programme, press this button (18). As soon as the desired
page is reached, the number will appear on the screen. To
view it, press button (18) again.
Note: while waiting, the TV remains in the Teletext function
therefore it will be possible to change the pages but not
the TV programmes using the numerical buttons.
IMPORTANT: When in the MENU mode (e.g. AUDIO,
