MAINS CONNECTION AND REMOTE BATTERIES
MAINS CONNECTION
The TV is suitable for use on a.c. mains supply, 220-240V, 50 Hz only. It must not
be connected to d. c. mains.
NOTE : The mains lead of the TV is fitted with a moulded plug. If the mains sockets
are not compatible or if for any reason the plug is removed please follow these
directions :
The moulded plug cannot be rewired and if removed must be disposed of safely.
DO NOT under any circumstances plug the severed plug into any mains socket as
this could result in electric shock.
IMPORTANT : If the plug is removed rewire new plug as follows :
The wires in the mains plug are coloured in accordance with the following code :
BLUE - NEUTRAL
BROWN - LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may not correspond
with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as
follows :
BLUE wire to the terminal coded N (Neutral) or coloured black.
BROWN wire to the terminal coded L (Live) or coloured red.
DO NOT make any connection to the terminal in the plug which is marked by the
letter E or by the safety earth symbol or coloured green or green and yellow.
A fused plug must be fitted with a 5A fuse approved by ASTA or BSI to BS 1362
and fuse covers must always be securely replaced.
REMOTE BATTERIES
The remote control requires two batteries size AAA as supplied with the unit.
Unclip the cover at the rear and insert the batteries the correct way round as
shown. The ends are usually marked + and –. Replace the batteries when the unit
no longer operates at normal viewing distances.
For a clearer environment, please dispose of used batteries in the containers
provided for this purpose.
NOTE
When replacing batteries do not mix old and new - do not mix makes and types.
Alkaline types are recommended for long life. Never risk damage to the remote
control by extreme heat - do not leave close to a radiator or on a window ledge in

use fine tune up and down until the VCR output is found. Ounce found then memorise the frequency
against your chosen programme number (eg. 9).

NICAM DIGITAL STEREO
NICAM (Near Instantaneous Companded Audio
Multiplex) digital audio.
The digital signal broadcast together with the
existing sound and pictures of terrestrial
television are decoded by this receiver to enable
high quality stereo sound to be reproduced with
advantages similar to those of compact discs. i.
e. extended dynamic range and channel
separation with low noise and low distortion.
These are considerable benefits compared with
the current standard system. The digital channel
separation will allow the Broadcasters to
transmit dual languages as an alternative feature
after the service is established.
You will be able to take full advantage of this
exciting new facility. The increase in overall
realism and ambience created by this new
dimension in television sound will bring
increased viewing enjoyment to all forms of
programme material-to sport as well as the more
obvious advantages to all forms of musical
entertainment.
In the absence of NICAM signals or if the
NICAM signal becomes extremely weak, the
receiver will select the standard system
automatically.
The standard signal can also be chosen by
selecting the mono mode using the appropriate
IMC on-screen graphics display. This is known
as forced mono.

In addition to the RTE main transmitters listed, there are many RTE transposers throughout the
country. If your area is not covered by a main transmitter and you are not sure of the channel
numbers of your local transmissions, your television dealer is the best person to advise you. He will
also know whether you need a horizontal or vertical aerial to suit the transmissions.
