Philips 32DW6834/25 User manual

Positionin g theTV
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 entitled 'Tips' at the end of this booklet.
Interference
The Department ofTrade andIndustry operates a Radio Interference Investigation Service to
helpTV licence holders improve reception of BBCandIBA 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 theTVto the mains,check that the mains supply voltage corresponds
to the voltage printed on the type plate on the rear panel of theTV.If the mains voltage
is different,consult your dealer.
Important
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13Amp 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 Mat the back of the set.An
inferior aerial is likely to result in a poor,perhaps unstable picture with ghost images on
analogue channels. Make-shift loft or set-top aerials may not give best 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 asTV games,or a video camera it is recommended that these
be connected via a combiner unit to avoid repeated connection and disconnection of
the aerial plug.
Fitting the stand (if provided)
Use only the stand provided with the set, making sure that the fixings are properly
tightened.A diagramshowing how to assemble the stand is packed with the stand.Never
use a make-shift stand,or legs fixed with woodscrews.
Information for users in the UK (Not applicable outside the UK)
ßRecycling directive
YourTV set uses materials which are reusable or which can be recycled.
To minimise the amount of waste in the environment,specialist companies recover
used sets for dismantling and collection of reusable materials (consult your dealer).
