Follow the instructions on this page on how to switch on your TV set and the remote control before going on to the following pages that describe the channel set-up procedure.

1. Insert two LR06 or AA batteries in the remote control.

	- Only use the battery types specified.
	- Make sure you use the correct polarity.
	- Do not mix new and used batteries.	EN

	- Do not use rechargeable batteries.
	- Do not expose batteries to excessive heat, throw them in a fire, 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
	(several weeks).
	2. Connect the power cable FIRST to the television, THEN to a mains socket.
	Your TV set should only be connected to a 220 - 240 V ~ 50/60 Hz AC supply.
	It must not be connected to a DC supply. If the plug is detached from the cable, do not, under
	any circumstances, connect it to a mains socket, as there is a risk of electric shock.

Equipment for the UK and Ireland is supplied with a mains cable fitted with a moulded plug.

This plug contains safety components and must not be replaced by one sold by general retailers. It is fitted with a fuse that protects your television. If your set has stopped working, the fuse may have blown. If it has, replace it with an identical ASTA or BSI certified (BS 1362) 5-amp fuse.

3.Connect the outside aerial or cable network to the g socket at the back of the TV set.

The aerial socket (75 Ohms - VHF / UHF / cable) can be used for connecting an external aerial or other equipment fitted 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 finished setting up the channels by referring to page 24 of this manual.

4.Switch the TV on by pressing the on/off button A on the side.The TV set takes up to 40 seconds to come on.

Important: read carefully the sections “Specific precautions for DLP™ TV sets” on page 3 and “Switching the TV set on and off” on page 10, which give a detailed description of the procedure for switching the TV set on and off.

Note:The first time you switch on the television, the language selection menu appears.

You will find a description of how to use the remote control on page 4.Then go to page 8 for information on the initial set-up, or to page 9 for information on manual set-up (if the channels have already been set up on your TV).

Note: Before connecting other devices to the AV sockets, carry out the initial channel set-up (described on the next page) in order to avoid any problems with equipment selection.
