1.2What is digital TV?

Digital Television offers a far wider choice of TV viewing, free from the interference that you may experience on analogue TV. It promises to transform television viewing into a whole new experience. There is a greater selection of widescreen programming. Many of your favourite programmes are in widescreen on the digital channels - something the analogue TV cannot do properly.

There is new whole experience of interactivity on digital TV. By using your remote control, you can access all kinds of information like the digital text which is much clearer than the old teletext system. It gives you the added enjoyment of related information running alongside the programme you are watching. You can also access an Electronic Programme Guide that provides you with a quick and easy way to view a complete list of digital programmes as you would in a newspaper or TV magazine.

1.3 Digital or Analogue channels?

When the television is powered on for the first time, it will always be in Digital mode.

Use the key of the remote control to switch the TV between analogue and digital

mode. Use the P + / – or to keys to select channels.

Note

•Chapters 6 to 20 contain all the information you need to operate your TV in the Digital mode. Chapters 21 to 30 contain all the information and instructions you need to operate your TV in the Analogue mode.
