to right):
•AC mains power
•RF (TV antenna) input
•Coaxial digital audio output (RCA socket)
•AV OUTPUT sockets – RCA type sockets for Left and Right audio outputs.
•HDMI 1 (ARC) input
Note: these input and output sockets provide different functionality based on what mode the TV
is in.
•During DTV reception, USB playback and HDMI input operation, the AV OUTPUT sockets
provide only Audio outputs.
•Some settings on the TV (eg. Mute control, Sound Menu settings etc) do not affect the
audio signal from the AV OUTPUT socket.
•Only HDMI 1 input supports ARC (audio return channel) functionality and you must use a
HDMI cable that supports ARC and CEC operation.
•All HDMI inputs support limited CEC (consumer electronics control) functionality.

AV EQUIPMENT Connections
You can use the input and output terminals on the TV set as follows for basic accessory inter-
connections.
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/amplifier is not being
used, connect your accessory equipment directly to the HDMI sockets on this TV using high
quality HDMI certified cabling that supports ARC and CEC operation. All the HDMI inputs
support limited HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) functionality.
HDMI (advanced)
When using a Surround/AV amplifier system, there are numerous connection possibilities,
depending on the capabilities of the amplifier equipment. In most cases, external accessories
(such as Blu-ray players or gaming consoles) that were previously connected directly to the TV
would now be connected to the amplifier via HDMI, and a separate HDMI cable would then be
connected between the TV and the AV amplifier.
This system then allows the Surround/AV amplifier to process the surround channels and
correctly align the video and audio timing. If your Surround/AV amplifier supports HDMI ARC
(Audio Return Channel), then the HDMI ARC compliant cable connecting the amplifier and TV
must be connected to the HDMI 1 input on the TV, otherwise a separate audio connection (either
analogue or coaxial digital) would also be required between the TV and the AV amplifier.
Refer to the user manual of your AV amplifier for details on its specific cabling requirements. Due
to technical differences between equipment manufacturers, HDMI ARC operation may not be
possible in some installations.
10

AV (Audio/Video)
This TV provides an AV input and AUDIO 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).
Audio
For installations where you have an existing stereo system and wish to improve your listening
experience, connect a stereo RCA cable between the AUDIO output R/L sockets on this TV and
the appropriate line-level inputs (eg. AUX input) on your amplifier.
Note: Take care when powering up your TV/Amp combination, as they may be a click or pop
sounds on the audio output of the TV during its powering up/down phase that can be amplified
by your sound system. It is highly recommended that the TV is first powered up, then once the
screen is active you power up the amplifier. When powering down the TV/Amp system, turn the
amplifier off first, then switch the TV back to its standby state.
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 may be needed.
Steps
Be sure that 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, then 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.

6 1024 x 68 60 48.36
1024 x 68 0 56.48
The above resolutions are the only ones guaranteed to be supported. Other resolutions may be supported,
but this must be assessed by the user on a case-by-case basis. This is subject to the limitations of the
computer's video card.
Adjustable Modes
While this TV may support higher resolutions through both the VGA and HDMI inputs, such
operation is dependant on the capabilities of the attached PC (including it's 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 TVs
capabilities and hence will only allow lower resolution screen displays.

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 located on 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 mid-right side of the TV and wait for the Red power indicator on the bottom right 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 a blank colour when the TV is fully powered up, and after approximately 10 seconds the
screen will become active and can be commanded using the remote control.
First Powering on the TV
When you first power up your TV (or reset the TV to its factory settings), it will automatically
enter the TV auto tuning mode. This where the TV searches for available TV stations and stores
the station details it finds. Make sure the TV antenna is connected before proceeding with this
operation.
By default, the TV will offer a language selection (defaulting to English) so press the OK button
to confirm your selection. (Please note the instructions in this manual will follow the English
terms for menu settings). 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 analogue (ATV) and
digital (DTV) stations. Australia does not have any current analogue stations running. This
process takes several minutes, and once completed the TV will skip to the first DTV program.
The “radio” channels found are sound-only services provided by some TV stations. The TV unit
itself does not receive DAB+Digital Radio broadcasts.

Menu Settings
Using the Main Menus
Once the TV has run through the Auto Tune mode and found the available TV stations, 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 you 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 Exit button (located on the bottom right-hand side of the
cursor arrow buttons) to exist the Menu setting.
To access the Input Source menu where you can select ATV or DTV reception,
plus access signals from your connected audio/video devices (eg. AV composite
video, HDMI or PC VGA), press the Input Source button located at the top right-
hand side of the cursor selector arrow section of the remote control. Once the
Input Source menu appears, use the UP or DOWN cursor arrow keys to select the
desired input, then press the OK button.

2. The Audio Languages and Subtitle Languages options relate to DTV reception only. Some
TV channels transmit their audio and subtitles in more than one language, and if this is
known in advance, you can select this alternative language. At the initial setup stage, the
default language is English, and it is recommended that setting is not changed unless you
are fluent in the new language chosen.
3. HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) allows your TV to share
control of some functions with various compatible equipment via an
HDMI cable connection. The HDMI cable connecting your equipment
to this TV must support both ARC and CEC functionality.
For example, with HDMI CEC set to “on” in the TVs menu and also on
the HDMI connected device that supports CEC (eg. A Blu-ray player),
selecting the HDMI input on this TV sends a signal to the Blu-ray
player and may switch it On from its standby state (depending on the
player's CEC capabilities).
The HDMI CEC system supports a wide variety of commands, many of which may not be
applicable to this TV or any connected HDMI equipment. Refer to the User Manual of your
other equipment to check what areas of the CEC commands they may be able to work
with. If after selecting the CEC option you find the TV or any other connected equipment
behaving unusually (eg. Switching itself back on after you've switched it back to standby
mode), your connected equipment may not be compatible with this TV, and the HDMI
CEC sub-menu should be set to the Off position.

4. HDMI ARC (Audio Return Channel) may allow compatible equipment connected to the
TV (eg. A sound bar) to receive audio from the TV via a “return” channel in a compatible
HDMI cable, so that the sound is heard through the sound bar without having to connect
a second cable between the two devices. Some other functions, such as use of the TVs
remote control to control the volume on the connected equipment may also be
applicable.
HDMI ARC needs to be switched On as part of the HDMI CEC sub-menu in the main
Option Menu, and any ARC compatible equipment must only be connected to the HDMI 1
input. As ARC functionality differs widely between different products and brands, if after
selecting ARC operation you find the TV or any connected equipment performing
unusually, turn off the HDMI ARC function and use the analogue audio output socket or
the coaxial digital audio output socket on the TV to connect audio to your Sound Bar or
home theatre system.
PVR File System
In the PVR File System sub-menu, you will be asked to format your USB 2.0
flash drive or hard disk for PVR operation. If you are not familiar with the
various drive or partition options for storage devices, start this process using
a blank (ie. Unused storage device), or one which does not hold sensitive or
required data.
Select Disc
To view and select the USB drive or hard disc that you would like to record to, press the OK
button to enter the Select Disk sub-menu and then press or buttons on your remote control ◀ ▶
to select the particular storage device type that is connected to the TV. Press the OK button to
return to the PVR File System sub-menu.
Check PVR File System
Press the OK button to start checking the file system of your USB storage or Hard Disk, and
check the recording speed capability of the connected device. Once SUCCESS is shown after
checking, you will then be able to begin recording or use the Time Shift Function. If FAIL is
shown after checking, you will need to format your USB drive or Hard Disc before being able to
record or use the Time Shift feature. Use of the High Speed format option is recommended.
Format
When you format your USB flash drive or Hard Disc, any saved data will be
lost. This TV primarily supports USB 2.0 flash drives and hard-drives, with its
USB socket supporting up to 500mA current drain. USB 3.0 drives (operating
in USB 2.0 compatibility mode) may also be usable, but their compatibility
will need to be checked on a case-by-case basis.
PVR File System Type
There are two types of supported formats: FAT32 and Hi Speed Format. You can press or ◀ ▶
buttons to choose the type of format. If FAT32 is selected, you will have to format the whole of
your USB drive. If Hi Speed Format is selected, you will then be able to press or to select the ◀ ▶
size you wish to use (for example 1GB, 10GB, 20GB... or All). Once a particular size is selected for
recording, you will be able to use the remaining space of your USB drive or Hard Disc for other
data storage.
WARNING: Please not that no matter what size is selected for recording, all of the data on the
allocated partition of the hard disc will be lost after formatting. During Hi-Speed formatting of
some USB drives, you may need to select a smaller time shift size than the maximum capacity of
the drive, as some storage capacity is used in the PVR set-up process.
