and side of the TV receiver and 2 inches from the rear of the TV receiver and other surfaces.
Also, make sure the stand or base you use is of adequate size and strength to prevent the TV from being accidentally
tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off. This could cause personal injury and/or damage to the TV. Refer to the
Important Safety Instructions on the next page.
The Power button (followed by the power symbol) on this TV and your remote control puts the TV into a very
low-power standby mode but will not completely turn the power off. In order to completely shut the power off, you will
need to disconnect the power cord from the outlet. The mains plug/appliance coupler is used as disconnect device,
the disconnect device shall remain readily operable. Therefore, you should ensure that the TV is installed in a manner
that allows you to disconnect the power cord when desired.

Obtain the Signal
The rst step in connecting your TV is obtaining the signal. The back panel of your TV allows you to receive analog
and/or digital channels by using the ANTENNA/CABLE/SAT IN.
Connect the outside aerial or cable network to the
ANTENNA/CABLE/SAT IN socket on the back of the TV set to
receive off-air channels or cable channnels.
• If you have a set-top box, you may need to call your cable
company or satellite service provider. They may commend
special cables to allow you to view digital channels.
• The aerial socket (75 OHM - VHF / UHF / cable) can be used
for connecting an external aerial or other equipment tted
with a modulator (video recorder, satellite receiver, etc.). We
recommend that you do not connect other equipment (video
recorder, satellite receiver, etc.) to your TV set to begin with,
so as not to complicate the set-up procedure with the
additional steps involved. Connect them when you have
nished setting up the channels.
• Visit www.antennaweb.org for help in deciding what type of antenna to use in order to receive the local digital
channels available to you. Enter your location, and the program will list local analog and digital stations available
using your antenna.
Switching on
Follow the instructions on this page on how to switch on your TV set and use the remote control before going on to
following pages describing how to use the channel scan procedure.
1. Insert two AAA batteries in the remote control.
Precautions on using batteries:
- Only use the battery types specied.
- Make sure you use the correct polarity.
- Do not mix new and used batteries.
- Do not use rechargeable batteries.
- Do not expose batteries to excessive heat such as sunshine, re or the like, throw them in a re, recharge them
or try to open them, as this could cause them to leak or explode.
- Remove the batteries from the remote control if you are not using it for a long period of time.
2. Connect the power cable to a mains socket. (If the power cable is not connected to the television, please rst
connect the power cable to the television.) Your TV set should only be connected to an AC supply. It must not be
