Usage Features

General TV Operation: The TV is a remote-controlled colour LCD TV with an OSD menu system for easy navigation. It features automatic programming, manual tuning, and a channel list that can be edited to set favourites or active stations. The TV supports Teletext and an Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) to view current and next programmes, with options to filter, zoom, and search for specific genres. Parental settings allow for locking programmes, channels, and menus with a PIN number, and a Child Lock feature restricts control to the remote only.

Switching On/Off: To switch on, connect the power cord to a 220-240V AC, 50 Hz socket. From standby, press the power button, P+/P-, or any numeric button on the remote control, or use the side function switch. To switch off, press the power button on the remote or use the side function switch to enter standby mode. For complete power down, unplug the power cord from the mains socket. The standby LED may blink to indicate active features like Standby Search or Timer.

First Time Installation: Upon first power-on, a language selection screen appears. After selecting the language, the First Time Installation (FTI) screen guides users through setting preferences. An optional Store mode can be activated, which illustrates the TV's features on screen, but Home Mode is recommended for domestic use. Users can choose to start an automatic channel scan for digital terrestrial TV broadcasts.

Media Playback via USB Input: The TV supports media playback from USB disks (2.5" and 3.5" external hard drives with external power supply, or USB memory sticks). Users can play photo, music, and movie files. The Media Browser menu allows access to Picture, Sound, and Settings menu options. Loop and Shuffle modes are available for continuous playback.

Quick Menu: A Quick Settings menu provides fast access to options like Power Save Mode, Picture Mode, Equalizer Settings, Favourites, and Sleep Timer.

Picture and Sound Settings: The Picture Menu offers various modes (Cinema, Game, Dynamic, Natural) and adjustments for contrast, brightness, sharpness, colour, and backlight. Advanced settings include Dynamic Contrast, Colour Temp, Picture Zoom, HDMI True Black, Film Mode, Skin Tone, Colour Shift, and RGB Gain. For PC mode, specific settings like Autoposition, H/V Position, Dot Clock, and Phase are available. The Sound Menu allows adjustment of volume, equalizer, balance, headphone volume, and sound mode. It also includes AVL (Automatic Volume Limiting) and SRS TruSurround HD.

DVD Mode: The integrated DVD player supports disc playback. Discs are loaded with the labeled side facing front. Playback can be controlled via the remote or front panel buttons. The TV automatically pauses DVD playback if the source is switched and resumes manually when returning to DVD mode.

Maintenance Features

Safety Information: The manual emphasizes safety precautions, including avoiding humid or damp places, direct exposure to rain or water, and placing liquid-filled objects on the TV. Proper ventilation is crucial, with at least 10cm clear space around the TV. It should be kept away from heat sources and open flames. Headphone volume should be managed to prevent hearing loss.

Cleaning: Before cleaning, the TV should be unplugged from the wall socket. Only a soft, dry cloth should be used; liquid or aerosol cleaners are not recommended. For DVD discs, a cleaning cloth should be used to wipe from the center out, avoiding solvents like benzine or thinner.

Batteries: Incorrect installation of batteries can cause leakage and corrosion. Users should not mix old and new batteries or different types. Batteries should not be disposed of in fire or normal household waste but taken to a local recycling centre. If the device is not used for a long time, batteries should be removed and stored in a dry, dust-free place.

Servicing and Replacement Parts: Users are warned not to attempt to repair, service, or modify the TV themselves due to the risk of electric shock. Any servicing or replacement of parts should be done by qualified personnel using manufacturer-specified parts.

Taking Out of Service and Storing: When taking the TV out of service, it should be unplugged from the mains, packed in an appropriate cardboard box, and batteries removed from the remote control. The TV should be stored in a dry and dust-free room.

Troubleshooting & Tips: The manual provides troubleshooting steps for common issues such as the TV not turning on (check power cord, remote batteries), poor picture quality (check TV system, signal level, antenna connection, manual tuning), no picture (check input source, antenna connection), no sound (check mute, volume, balance), and distorted sound. For DVD-specific issues, it advises checking disc surface, loading, type, region code, and OSD language settings. If problems persist, users are advised to contact the Customer Helpline.
