an appropriate safety approved extension lead
or adaptor or consult your dealer.
If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off,
remove the fuse and dispose of the plug
immediately, to avoid a possible shock
hazard by inadvertent connection to the
mains supply.
If a new mains plug has to be fitted, then
follow the instruction given below:
Important
Do not make any connection to the larger
terminal which is marked with the letter E or
by the safety earth symbol or coloured
green or green-and-yellow.
The wires in the mains lead on this product
are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
As these colours may not correspond with the
coloured marking identifying the terminals in
your plug proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be
connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be
connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter L or coloured red.
When replacing the fuse, use only a correctly
rated approved type and always re-fit the fuse
cover.

designed for this TV.
• Make sure that the TV is installed on the wall by a skilled installer.
Installation
Cautions for installation
• Install the TV in a corner on a wall or on the floor so as to keep cords out of the way.
• The TV will generate a slight amount of heat during operation. Ensure that sufficient space is
available around the TV to allow satisfactory cooling. See “Distance recommendations” on
page 4.
Using the stand
This TV comes with a table top stand already attached.
This stand can be used to adjust the direction of the TV screen 5° up, 10° down, and 20° to the left
or right.
Tilt the TV up and down:
While holding the bottom of the stand with one
hand, use your other hand to hold the middle of
the top of the TV and slowly tilt the TV up and
down.
• As a safety measure, the stand needs
constructed so that it requires a certain
amount of force to tilt the TV.
Rotate the TV to the left and right:

Connecting the aerial
• The connecting cables are not provided.
• For further details, refer to the manuals provided with the devices to be connected.
Caution
• Turn off all the equipment including the TV before connecting anything.
If you connect via a device with an
antenna terminal such as a VCR,
follow A→B→C→Din the
diagram opposite.
If you connect the antenna
directly to the TV, follow 1→C.
To use the T-V LINK functions, you must
have a T-V LINK compatible VCR
connected by a SCART cable Dto the EXT-
2 terminal on the TV. For details about T-V
LINK functions, see “T-V LINK functions”
on page 13.
• The two-way splitter is not included.
Please supply one separately.
• If you are not going to watch Analogue
terrestrial broadcasting, only connect C.
In this case, a two-way splitter is not
necessary.
• To connect more equipment, please see
“Connecting external equipment” on
page 63.
• To connect additional audio equipment,
see “Connecting speakers/amplifier” on
page 66.
• If you connect a decoder to a T-V LINK
compatible VCR, set the DECODER
(EXT-2) function to ON. For details, see
“” on page 57.
Otherwise, you will not be able to watch
scrambled channels.
• When receiving Digital terrestrial
broadcasting (DVB-T), reception can
suddenly be lost if the signal becomes
weak. Use a correctly installed high-
performance antenna.
• When connecting via a device with an
antenna terminal such as a VCR, depending
on the connection method, the signal may
be weakened. If this happens, use a booster
to increase the signal strength.
• In areas with a lot of radio communication
such as near ports or airports, noise may
be introduced into the picture or sound. In
such cases, reception may be improved by
using a high-performance antenna.
• Read the instruction manual of the
devices which you connect to the TV.
