Preparation
&Place the TV on a solid surface.
For ventilation, leave at least 5 cm free all around the TV.
To prevent any unsafe situations, do not place any objects on top of the TV.
éInsert the aerial plug tightly into the aerial socket xat the back of the TV.
You can improve the picture quality by using the suppressor aerial cable
supplied.
“Ensure the loudspeaker switch at the back of the TV is in the l position.
‘Wireless surround speaker system.
There are two surround loudspeakers supplied. One is the active loudspeaker,
including the RF receiver, a power switch, the mains supply, a channel selector,
a red and black connector clip, and a cinch connector to make a wired
connection with your TV in case the wireless connection is disturbed or is not
possible. The other loudspeaker is a passive one which has to be connected
with the active loudspeaker with the supplied speaker cable.
•Set the slide channel switch 1on top of the active loudspeaker to channel 6.
(In the factory channel 6 has been chosen as the default channel.)
See also Install Setup, p. 8.
•Connect the active to the passive loudspeaker with the supplied speaker cable.
Push the connector clip down, insert one end of the wire into the opening of
one connector clip 2 and push it up again. Insert the other end of the same
wire in the same colour connector clip of the other loudspeaker. Do the same
with the other wire in the other connector clips. Do not insert the wires too
far.
•The Surround sound loudspeakers should always be located behind or to
either side of the listener. If preferred you can also hang the loudspeakers on
the wall.
The maximum distance between the TV and the surround speakers should not
exceed 15 m. The distance between the active and the passive speaker should
maximum be 6 m.
Note: people moving around close to the TV may disturb the sound transmission.
•Connect the active loudspeaker to the mains with the supplied mains cable 3.
•Switch on the active loudspeaker with the POWER switch 4.
The green LED at the front of the active surround speaker shows that there is
sound transmission.
If the red LED is on the speaker has switched to standby. To switch the active
speaker off, use the POWER switch.

Surround Sound
To make use of the wireless surround loudspeakers, use the pπ keys to
select the same channel as you selected on the active loudspeaker. (Ex factory,
channel 6 has been selected as default.)
A disturbance free sound reproduction wil be guaranteed under most
circumstances.
To avoid interferences from external RF (wireless) equipment such as a
headphone, RF audio, remote controls for light, ... it may be necessary to shift
to another channel number.
In practice only 3 or 4 channels are available because at least a step of two
channels are necessary to have enough separation.
Always be sure that the active surround speaker and the Surround Sound
setting are switched to the same transmitting channel. Otherwise no sound or
only a distorted sound will be heard on the surround speakers.
When the TV is tuned to a channel in the neighbourhood of 433 Mhz, then the
transmitter is switched off because no RF surround sound is possible. This is
necessary to avoid disturbed picture.
When no RF surround sound is possible or when there is too much
interference, use the wired back up solution. In this case select off in the
Surround Sound menu item.
Connect the supplied cinch cable with the PRE-AMP IN (TV) connector at the
back of the active surround loudspeaker and with the black and red
REAR R or Lconnector clips at the back of the TV.
NEXTVIEW provider
NEXTVIEW enables you to see a television programme guide on the screen
instead of in a weekly magazine. See NEXTVIEW, p. 18.
NEXTVIEW functionality is based on extended teletext services offered by TV
channels, providers. Normally you will select as NEXTVIEW provider the TV
channel that transmits most information in your language. You can make the
best selection via info from TV announcements or from the newspapers.
•Select the programme number of the desired TV channel as stored in the
favourite programme list, with the por πkeys or with the digit keys. The
selected TV channel will provide a programme guide and additional info of its
own broadcasts as well as from other (non selected) TV channels.
•Select None if you only want the programme guide of the watched TV
channel.
Important:
In order to have the actual time and date displayed in the NEXTVIEW screen and
NEXTVIEW working properly, the first TV channel from the favourite list should also
broadcast teletext.
Please check at startup if the time and date are correct in the NEXTVIEW screen.
Not all TV channels support NEXTVIEW.
How to make use of NEXTVIEW, see p. 18.

Adjust the volume balance level of the loudspeakers
Most programmes will sound good with the volume balance between the
centre left and right and rear loudspeakers in an equally loud position.
However, some programmes may benefit from an adjustment of the level of
the respective speakers.
Which loudspeakers are active depends on the Surround Mode selection you
make below.
&Select Pro Logic in Surround Mode of the DOLBY PRO LOGIC menu.
éSelect Start Test and press the OK key.
A steady noise tone is switched sequentially through the left, centre, right and
rear loudspeakers, for 2 seconds each. This enables you to adjust the volume
of the separate loudspeakers.
The loudspeakers activated light up in the on screen graphic.
“Select Centre Volume, Balance or Rear Volume and alter the selected
adjustments.
‘Select Stop Test in the DOLBY PRO LOGIC menu and press the OK key when

surround loudspeakers are switched to standby after about 15 seconds.
Pro Logic (with Dolby Surround broadcasting)
In addition to the left and right front speakers, the centre and the rear
surround loudspeakers reproduce the Dolby Surround Pro Logic sounds.
This 4-channel sound is always recorded when the movie or programme is
marked with Dolby Surround.
This mode is especially recommended for such programmes as movies.
Dolby 3 Stereo (with Dolby Surround broadcasting)
The Dolby 3 Stereo sound signal is now distributed over the front left, the
front right and the centre loudspeakers.
The rear loudspeakers do not produce any signal.
Hall (with Dolby Surround broadcasting)
The centre sound signal is distributed over the rear loudspeakers which
creates a hall effect from the rear.
The centre loudspeaker does not produce any signal.
This mode is recommended when you wish to add surround sound to a
broadcast which is not encoded Dolby Surround.
Off
This mode reproduces only the left and right front sound signals.
You only hear a stereo sound if the broadcast which you are watching or
listening to is transmitted in stereo or digital sound.
When the wireless surround loudspeakers are disturbed or when there is too much
interference from other external RF equipment, make use of the wired back up
solution. See Install TV Setup, Surround sound, p. 9.

programme has been selected it can be tagged, to remind you, or to record on
the video recorder automatically (provided the video recorder is equipped
with NEXTVIEWLink), once, daily or weekly. NEXTVIEW also allows direct access
to stored information on programmes provided by the broadcaster.

The NEXTVIEW offers 4 modes to sort
and represent information
Day
The day guide provides an overview of all programme titles active in the
selected time block. Time blocks are 15 minute intervals starting from the
current time of the current day until 03.00 hours of tomorrow.
The default order is based on the programme list of the favourite TV channels
as stored in the installation of the TV. TV channels not marked as favourite TV
channels will not appear. The currently watched programme is selected and
displayed at the top of the list.
Default NEXTVIEW opens with the DAY screen.
If None has been selected as NEXTVIEW provider in the Setup menu, the day
screen will be absent.
Channel
The channel guide provides an overview of all programmes per selected TV
channel on the selected date.
The list will start with the earliest broadcasted programme.
Theme
The theme guide displays a list of all programmes at the selected date, that
matches with the selected category (news, sport, culture, movies...).
The default starting item will be the current or next programme on the current
TV channel.
When more than one programme starts at the same time, they are displayed
according to the programme number.
When another date is selected the list of programmes displayed will start with
the earliest programme.
The THEME selection possibility is only present if programmes in the TV guide,
have defined themes.
Overview
The Overview list provides a list of all reminders and recordings per day. The
first item displayed will be the one closest in time.
When more than one of the same items start at the same time or have an
overlap in time these will be marked by a flashing highlight and a message.
After the programme has been broadcast, all items set for once will be deleted
from the list.

Basic functions
The function Watch is only available if a currently broadcasted programme is
selected. Otherwise the function is not available.
The selection causes the TV to tune to the selected channel and NEXTVIEW is
switched off.
When Info is activated, information relating to the selected programme or
advertisements are displayed.
When Record Ror Remind !are activated the screen turns to Record or
Remind mode. This is indicated by a tag-box appearing after the selected
programme. The default interval is set to Once. The colour of the tag refers
to the interval.
After setting the interval the message Storing appears to indicate the tuner of
the video recorder is programmed.
When watching a certain programme, a message will appear on the screen the
moment the tagged programme with !starts.
When the TV is in standby, the TV switches on the moment the tagged
programme with !starts.
In case where a series tag is broadcast the options daily and weekly can be
replaced by the option series. In this case the system identifies when the next
episode of the series will be broadcast.
Acquisition and updating of NEXTVIEW information for the selected provider, if
any, is done when the TV is switched to standby after watching the TV.
The TV enters a semi standby mode, the indicator remains green and switches
to full standby automatically after all needed acquisition or updating is
complete, the indicater then turns red. As long as the TV remains in standby,
acquisition will again happen during the night.
Acquisition is however only done if the start of the previous period of semi
standby is 12 or more hours in the past. So, the information acquisition for the
selected provider is done as a maximum twice a day.
Acquisition for non selected providers (selection None in the Setup menu) is
only done while watching the TV channel and when NEXTVIEW is not active.
Note: it may be necessary to put the TV into standby mode when all NEXTVIEW
information is outdated, e.g. returning from holiday. In this case a message is
displayed.
