DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and inter-connections
between the pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer s instructions.
Switch off and withdraw the mains plug before making or changing connections.
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.
DO route the mains lead so that it is not likely to be walked on, crushed, chafed, or subjected to excessive
wear and tear or heat
DONT remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DONT obstruct the ventilation openings of the equipment with items such as newspapers, tablecloths,
curtains, etc. Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.
DONT allow electrical equipment to be exposed to dripping or splashing, or objects filled with liquids, such
as vases, to be placed on the equipment.
DONT place hot objects or naked flame sources such as lighted candles or nightlights on, or close to

provided according to the instructions.
DONT use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from
the requirements of traffic safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.
DONT listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your hearing.
DONT leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated
that it is designed for unattended operation or has a stand-by mode. Switch off using the
switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this. Special
arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Power Source
The unit should be operated only from a 230-240V~ 50 Hz outlet. Please do not open the cover by yourself.
There is high voltage in the set, which will endanger your life. Please contact local service agent for help
and advice. Repairs should be carried out by a qualified technician only.
The apparatus is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall
outlet, even if the apparatus itself has been turned off.
If you are not going to use the apparatus for a long time, be sure to disconnect the apparatus from the wall
outlet.
Power Cord
Do not place the unit, a piece of furniture, etc., on the power cord (mains lead), or pinch the cord. Handle
the power cord by the plug. Do not pull out the plug by tugging the cord and never touch the power cord when
your hands are wet as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock. Never make a knot in the cord or
tie it with other cords. The power cords should be routed in such a way that they are not likely to be stepped
on. A damaged power cord can cause fire or give you an electrical shock. Check the power cord once in
a while. When you find it damaged, ask closest service agent for help. When the AC power cord needs to
be changed, it should be done at a qualified service shop only.
Choice of Location
Please do not place the set in a place subject to direct sun light, excessive dust or mechanical shock or
in a location near heat sources.
The set should be placed on a solid and safe base. Do not place the apparatus on a soft surface such as
a rug that might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.
A location should not be selected such as a room with high humidity, as the condensation, arising in the kitchen
for example, may cause malfunction or damage the set.
Heating or other thermal radiation under the set also may cause malfunction or damage the set.
The hot air, which arises during the operation, should be ventilated with sufficient air circulation. Please do
not put the set into closed areas and do not cover it.
Please avoid the contact of the set with water or humidity. Do not put into operation near bath, swimming
pools.
Take care to provide a good air circulation. Place the apparatus in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent
heat build-up in the apparatus.
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the apparatus and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.

VOLUME CONTROL
The volume level of the sound from the receiver
can be altered with the [V+] and [V-] keys on the
remote control handset. Pressing either key
displays a bar graph of the sound volume on the TV
screen.The volume level selected will remain set,
even when the receiver is turned off and on again,
until it is altered with the [V+] and [V-] keys.
The audio volume adjustment for the receiver is
independent of the volume control on your TV set.
Be careful that both volume controls are kept within
reasonable levels so that when switching from
analogue to digital television viewing, or when first
turning on your TV set, the sound level is not
suddenly very high.You can silence the sound from
the receiver by pressing the [MUTE] key. The sound
remains muted until the [MUTE] key is pressed
again, the [V+] or [V-] keys are pressed, or until the
receiver is turned off and on again.
While the sound is muted in this way, the mute
symbol is displayed in the top left of the TV screen.
The symbol is removed after 3 seconds, but the
sound will remain muted until the [MUTE] key is
pressed for the second time,and the mute symbol
will display for 3 seconds.
DIGITAL TELETEXT
Many digital terrestrial television channels not only
broadcast pictures and sound for programmes but
also pages of information on the programmes, the
weather, news and many other topics. This digital
teletext can be displayed by the receiver.Some
channels are entirely given over to digital teletext
and carry no normal TV programme at all. These
dedicated digital teletext channels will not give a
quarter-screen image in the PG or the Channel List
screen. When such a channel is selected, after a
brief pause, they will usually display the opening
page of information automatically. Other channels
have digital teletext pages broadcast alongside the
television programme and often include a reduced-
size broadcast picture within digital teletext
pages.These usually require the [T XT] button to be
pressed to activate the digital teletext pages.In both
cases, moving through the different pages of
information is accomplished in a variety of ways,
dependent on the individual broadcasters, but
including use of the [UP], [DOWN], [LEFT],
[RIGHT] and [SELECT] keys to select items from
on-screen menus, and the coloured keys to jump
directly to particular pages.You can exit any digital
teletext channel by changing channel in any of the
normal ways. You can leave the digital teletext
function of a combined digital teletext/programme
channel, to return to normal television viewing of that
channel, by pressing the [TEXT] key.Calling for the
information banner or any menu on-screen stops the
receiver from displaying the digital teletext pages
and they are temporarily replaced by a blank picture
while the banner or menu is displayed.Digital teletext
cannot be accessed when the Subtitles are enabled.
SUBTITLE
Subtitle key Shows/hides subtitles of channel. When
the subtitle key is pressed,subtitle ON/OFF
message is displayed.
WIDESCREEN
TV sets are available with screens of the standard
(4:3) format and widescreen (16:9) format. When
you first installed your receiver you specified the
formatof the connected TV (this can now be altered
if necessary; see Configuration)Digital terrestrial
television broadcasts are also made in both standard
and widescreen formats. In particular, films and
dramas tend to be broadcast in widescreen format
to closer emulate the cinema experience, but even
some news bulletins are widescreen. To help get the
most from both TV set and programme when a
widescreen film is watched on a standard TV, or a
standard broadcast is viewed on a widescreen set,
the receiver includes the [WID ] key.So long as the
receiver has been correctly set up for the TV set
connected, a widescreen programme will always be
displayed correctly on a widescreen set, and a
standard format programme will correctly fill the
screen of a standard format TV.With a widescreen
TV set displaying a standard format programme the
[WID ] key switches between displaying the picture
with black bars down the sides, and enlarging the
picture so that it fills the whole width of the screen
but the top and bottom are cropped off.With a
standard format TV displaying a widescreen
programme, the [WID ] key switches between
displaying the picture with black bars at the top and
bottom of the screen, and filling the whole height of
the screen but cropping the sides off according to
instructions broadcast with the programme (called
pan and scan).The effect of the [WID ] key on the
picture display is cancelled by pressing [WID ]
again, changing channel or turning the receiver to
standby.

APPENDIX A - SAFETY
POWER
The receiver should be plugged into a 230V to 240V AC, 50Hz supply only.
LEADS
Ensure the power supply lead, and all other leads, are positioned so they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by things placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to the power lead, where it enters the
mains plug and where it comes out of the receiver. Do not connect or adjust leads when the receiver is plugged
in.
TEMPERATURE AND MOISTURE
Do not leave or use the receiver in a hot, cold or humid area. Do not allow the receiver to get wet - from
drips or splashes - as this may be dangerous. Do not place water-filled objects such as flower vases, on
top of the receiver.
VENTILATION
Slots and openings in the receiver's cover are for ventilation. Do not cover or block them as this could lead
to overheating.
