to right):
• AC mains power cord
• AV INPUT sockets - RCA type socket for Composite type VIDEO input, and RCA type sockets
for Left and Right audio inputs.
• AV OUTPUT sockets - RCA type socket for Composite type VIDEO output, and RCA type sock-
ets for Left and Right audio outputs.
Note: These input and output sockets provide different functionality based on what mode the
TV is in.
- During ATV reception, DVD playback (using the inbuilt player) and AV mode operation, the
AV OUTPUT sockets provide both Video and Audio outputs.
- During DTV reception, USB playback and HDMI input operation, the AV OUTPUT sockets
provide only Audio outputs.
- During AV mode operation, the AV INPUT sockets will disregard the audio inputs unless
they are accompanied by a composite Video input signal.
- Some settings on the TV (eg. the Mute control, Sound Menu settings etc) do not affect the
audio signal from the AV OUTPUT socket.
SIDE AV Connections
When viewed from the side of the TV, the following connections are visible (from left to right):
• HDMI 1 Input, HDMI 2 Input, HDMI 3 Input
• USB socket for HDTV record/playback
• VGA Input (analogue, 15 pin D-type socket)
• PC Audio Input
• Headphone Output (3.5mm stereo socket)
• Coaxial digital Audio Output (RCA socket)
• RF (TV Antenna) Input
Note: When an HDMI port detects a DVI format signal, the matching audio signal is received
through the PC Audio input socket.
- Don’t connect both an HDMI and an AV cable to the same device (eg. Blu-ray player).
- Use USB ash-drives or low-power portable USB hard-drives for HDTV recording.
- Only the HDMI 1 input supports ARC (Audio Return Channel) and you must use an HDMI
cable that supports ARC and CEC operation.
- All HDMI inputs support limited CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) functionality.

11
INSTALLATION
AV EQUIPMENT connections
You can use the input and output terminals on the TV set as follows for basic accessory
inter-connections.
a) HDMI (basic)
HDMI is a digital connection system that can carry both video and audio information. Using
HDMI connections to this TV is recommended where accessory equipment can support
higher resolution modes (such as 1080i/1080p) from products such as upscaling DVD
players, Blu-ray players and high-performance gaming consoles.
For basic HDMI installations, where an external surround sound processor/amplier is not
being used, connect your accessory equipment directly to the HDMI sockets on this TV
using high quality HDMI certied cabling that supports ARC and CEC operation. All the
HDMI inputs support limited HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) functionality (refer
to page 24 for further details on CEC operation).
b) HDMI (advanced)
When using a Surround/AV amplier system, there are numerous connection possibilities,
depending on the capabilities of the amplier equipment. In most cases, external
accessories (such as a Blu-ray player or gaming console) that were previously connected
directly to the TV would now be connected to the amplier via HDMI, and a seperate HDMI
cable would then be connected between the TV and the AV amplier.
This system then allows the Surround/AV amplier to process the surround channels and
correctly align the video and audio timing. If your Surround/AV amplier supports HDMI
ARC (Audio Return Channel), then the HDMI ARC compliant cable connecting the amplier
and TV together must be connected to the HDMI 1 input on this TV, otherwise a separate
audio connection (either analogue or coaxial digital) would also be required between the TV
and the AV amplier. Refer to the User Manual for your AV amplier for details on its specic
cabling requirements.

12
INSTALLATION
c) AV (Audio/Video)
This TV provides an AV input and output using line-level analogue stereo Audio and
composite format Video signals for compatibility with earlier accessory devices eg. VCRs,
CRT TVs, basic gaming consoles etc. Refer to page 10 regarding the specic characteristics
of these AV sockets. For optimum composite video quality, use only well shielded 75 ohm
video-grade cables.
d) AUDIO
For installations where you have an existing stereo system and wish to improve your
listening experience, connect a stereo RCA cable between the AV Output L/R sockets on
this TV and the appropriate line-level inputs (eg. AUX input) on your amplier.
NB. Take care when powering up your TV/amp combination, as there may be some click or
pop sounds on the audio output of the TV during its powering up/down phase that can be
amplied by your sound system. It is highly recommended that the TV is rst powered up,
and then when its screen is active, you then power up your amplier. When powering down
the TV/amp system, turn Off your amplier rst and then switch the TV back to its Standby
state.

13
INSTALLATION
PC Connections
This TV provides an analogue VGA input (15pin) for connection to various desktop or laptop
computers. Refer to
your computer’s User manual or support website to determine if your computer may be compatible,
and what
connection cabling will be needed.
STEPS:
Be sure both the TV and computer are set to
Power off.
1.Connect a VGA and audio cable.
2.Connect the power cord.
3.Power on the TV, switch to PC mode.
4.Power on the PC.
This connection and power-up sequence is very
important. Also, for higher resolution
applications, the use of a high quality shielded
VGA cable is recommended.
PRESET MODE
The above resolutions are the only ones guaranteed to be supported. Other resolutions may also be
supported, but this must be assessed by the user on a case-by-case basis. This is also subject to the
limitiations of the computer’s video card.
ADJUSTABLE MODES
While this TV may support higher resolutions thru both the VGA and HDMI inputs, such operation is
dependant on
the capabilities of the attached PC (including its graphics card, system set-up and operating system)
as well as the
user’s ability to adjust the PC’s settings for optimum screen performance. Some PC graphics cards
will not
correctly identify the TV’s capabilities and hence will only allow lower resolution screen displays.

REMOTE CONTROL /GETTING STARTED
TELETEXT and SUBTITLES
Teletext is an information system broadcast in certain countries which can be consulted like a
newspaper. It may also offer access to subtitles for viewers with hearing problems or who are not
familiar with the transmission language (Refer to your local TV guides or internet program lists to
determine if Teletext is used in your area.)
Getting Started :
Once you have connected your TV antenna and other AV playback equipment (eg. CD, DVD, Blu-ray
player) to the appropriate input sockets on the rear and side of the TV, you will need to be comfortable
with selecting several basic operations before setting up your TV using the Menu system.
Firstly, the TV has two power modes – Standby and On. In Standby mode, the TV is powered up, but
awaits a “power On” command from either the Remote Control or from the Standby push-button locat-
edon the lower right-hand side of the TV.
To switch the TV from off into Standby mode, activate the main On/Off rocker switch located at the
bottom right side of the TV, and wait for the Red power indicator on the front of the TV to light up.
Then, press the red power button on the Remote Control to fully activate the TV (ie. move from Standby
to On mode). The power LED on the front of the TV will change from Red to Blue when the TV is fully
powered up, and after approx 10 seconds the screen will become active and can be commanded using
the Remote Control.

GETTING STARTED
First Powering on the TV :
When you first power up your TV, (or you reset the TV to its factory settings), it will
automatically enter the TV Auto Tuning mode. This is where the TV searches for
available TV stations and stores the station details it finds. Make sure your TV
antenna is connected before proceeding with this operation.
By default, an On Screen Display will offer a language selection (pre-set to English), so
just press the OK button on the Remote Control to confirm this option. The OK button is
located in the middle of the cursor arrow button area of the Remote Control.
The TV will then offer a selection of countries, with Australia as the pre-set option.
Again press the OK button to confirm this selection. Your TV will now scan through
all the analogue TV (ATV) and digital TV (DTV) stations that it can receive using the
connected antenna. This process may take several minutes, but once completed, the TV
will skip to the first DTV program.
The “radio” channels found during the TV Auto Tuning function are the sound-only
services provided by some TV stations.
Using the Main Menus :
Once the TV has run through the Auto Tune mode and found the available programs,
you will then need to know how to select the relevant input you want (eg. DTV, AV,
HDMI etc), and also how to select and adjust the various Menus that allow you to tailor
the operation of the TV to suit your application.
The following pages marked “Menu Settings” will cover the usage and settings of the
various menus in more detail. Please read them carefully to gain the most benefit from
your TV.

Firstly, on the upper-middle section of the Remote Control are the main cursor selector
arrows with the OK button in the middle of them. Directly above and to the left of the
cursor arrows is the Main Menu selector button, which displays the Main Menus on
the TV’s screen. In the following section of the User Manual, when the operation of the
options in the Main Menus are being described, you first need to press the Main Menu
button to activate the Menu function, then press the Left or Right cursor arrow buttons
to select the relevant Menu, and the Up or Down cursor arrow buttons to move within
the options inside each Menu. If at any time you mis-select a Menu or setting, press the
