Information for users in the UK
(Not applicable outside the UK)
Positioning the TV
For the best results, choose a position where light does not fall directly on the screen, and at some
distance away from radiators or other sources of heat. Leave a space of at least 5 cm all around
the TV for ventilation, making sure that curtains, cupboards etc. cannot obstruct the air flow
through the ventilation apertures.
The TV is intended for use in a domestic environment only and should never be operated or
stored in excessively hot or humid atmospheres.
General Points
Please take note of the section 'Tips' at the end of this booklet.
Interference
The Department of Trade and Industry operates a Radio Interference Investigation Service to help
TV license holders improve reception of BBC and IBA programmes where they are being spoilt by
interference.
If your dealer cannot help, ask at a main Post Office for the booklet "How to improve Television
and Radio Reception".
Mains connection
Before connecting the TV to the mains, check that the mains supply voltage corresponds to the
voltage printed on the type plate on the rear panel of the TV. If the mains voltage is different, con-
sult your dealer.
Important
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug.
To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows :
1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2. Fit new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A,A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3. Refit the fuse cover.
In order to maintain conformity to the EMC directive, the mains plug on this product must not be
removed.
Connecting the aerial
The aerial should be connected to the socket marked x at the back of the set. An inferior aerial is
likely to result in a poor, perhaps unstable picture with ghost images and lack of contrast. Make-
shift or set-top aerials are unlikely to give adequate results.
Your dealer will know from experience the most suitable type for your locality.
Should you wish to use the set in conjunction with other equipment, which connects to the aerial
socket such as TV games, or a video camera, it is recommended that you consult your dealer on
the best method of connection.
Stand (if provided)
Use only the stand provided with the set, making sure that the fixings are properly tightened.A dia-
gram showing how to assemble the stand is packed with the stand. Never use a make-shift stand, or
legs fixed with woodscrews.

Operation
EasyLink features are based on the “one touch operation” approach.
This means that a sequence of actions are executed at the same
time in both the television and the video cassette recorder, provided
both are fitted with the EasyLink function and connected with the
eurocable supplied with your video recorder.
