*For the Automatic feature to work effectively with North American TV models, the optional TV sensor must be installed and positioned to detect if the TV is on or off. In Europe, a SCART connector serves this purpose. If you do not use a SCART connector, or the TV sen- sor is not positioned properly, the automatic feature is not an option. In that case, leave the TV power set to Manual. This means you must turn your TV on using its power button or with the LIFESTYLE® remote (when it is set to do so).

8.Notice the TV Power Status:

TV Detected means the installed TV sensor is working.

TV Not Detected means the TV sensor (if installed) is not positioned properly, or a SCART connector is installed.

Press System or Exit to leave the System menu.

Note: For information on using the TV sensor, refer to “Installing the TV on/off detector” in your Installation Guide. To check for positioning of the sensor, refer to “The media center” on page 10
