6.2 Connection of Antenna cable:
An external PAL socket is provided (number 13, on Fig. 1) for connection
to an external antenna. If using the in-built telescopic TV antenna the
antenna cable attached to the TV unit must be plugged into this socket.
6.3 Connection of AV conversion cable:
This portable TV comes with a composite audiovisual cable adapter that can connect to either the AV Input or AV
Output sockets on the side of the TV panel.
AV Input: Plug the AV conversion cord into AV/IN jack on the TV. Then plug the RCA jacks into the corresponding
colour output sockets on the output device (i.e. Source).
AV Output: Plug the AV conversion cord into AV/OUT jack on the TV. Then plug the RCA jacks into the
corresponding colour input sockets on the input device (i.e. Receiver). (AV/OUT only works in DTV/USB mode).
7. BATTERY OPERATION
This portable television set is fitted with an internal rechargeable battery. Whenever the TV is connected to either
the AC power adapter or the car lighter adapter, the battery will commence charging, even while the TV is
operating. A full charge will be reached within a few hours and will provide about two hours or at most three hours
of continuous operation.
When ‘BATTERY’ flashes in red letters in the top left corner of the screen, the TV has about five minutes more of
operation before shutting down. When this icon appears on the screen, connect the TV to an external power
source if available.
8. AUTOMATIC CHANNEL SEARCHING (Digital TV)
After your device is connected to a power supply and switched on for the first time after purchase, the S 8861 will
implement an installation protocol. The following three options will appear:
OSD LANGUAGE (English is default)
COUNTRY (Set according to you location. Improper configuration may lead to signal reception failure.)
CHANNEL SEARCH
After choosing the language and country settings using the cursor arrow buttons, select ‘CHANNEL SEARCH’ and
press OK. The TV will automatically scan through the channel frequencies and store the working channels in
memory. Once the digital stations have been stored into memory, you can commence viewing TV programs of
your choosing.
NOTE: This same process will be initiated after a user activates a factory reset, which will clear all stored channels
and other settings. If the television has no channels stored, it will engage the Auto Search protocol.
