Maintenance

First, remove the mains plug from the socket outlet.

Display panel

Regular care: Gently wipe the surface clean of dirt by using a soft cloth.

Major contamination: Wipe the surface clean using a soft cloth dampened with clean water or diluted neutral detergent by 100 times of water. Then, using a soft dry cloth, evenly wipe the surface clean until it is dry.

After DVB Auto Tuning only some or no DVB services are found

DVB

•Check to ensure your area is covered by DVB transmissions.

•Check that the aerial and antenna cable are designed for DVB. For your safety, the aerial and cable should be inspected / installed by a licenced installer that should comply with Australian Standard AS1417.1.

Note: If you live within 5-10 km of DVB transmission towers, a combined VHF / UHF aerial should be adequate. Outside this area, separate VHF and UHF aerials provide superior reception performance.

•If you live in a unit or apartment, check to ensure the Master Antenna TV (MATV) system is designed for analogue and DVB-T reception. Please consult your body corporate.

Caution
•The surface of the display panel has been specially treated and may be easily damaged.
Do not tap or scratch the surface with your fingernail or other hard object.
•Use care not to subject the surface to bug repellent, solvent, thinner, or other volatile substances
(this may degrade surface quality).
Cabinet
Regular care: Wipe the surface clean using a soft dry cloth.
Major contamination: Dampen a soft cloth with clean water or water containing a small amount of neutral detergent.
Then, wring the cloth and wipe the surface clean with it. Finally, wipe the surface clean with a dry cloth.
Caution	••
•Use care not to subject the TV's surfaces to detergent.
(A liquid inside the TV could lead to product failure.)

Picture regularly breaks up on some programmes, or

“No Signal” message

•Check “Signal Display”. (p. 27)

If “Signal Quality” or “Signal Strength” are displayed in red or constantly changing, check aerial.

If problem persists consult your local TV aerial installer.

•Check that the aerial and antenna cable are designed for DVB. For your safety, the aerial and cable should be inspected / installed by a licenced installer that should comply with Australian Standard AS1417.1.

•Interference (known as impulse noise) from household appliances such as light switches, fridges etc may cause picture break up and / or audio distortion. Use high quality quad shielded coaxial cable fly lead between TV and antenna wall socket to minimise impulse noise pickup. If problem persists consult your local TV aerial installer.

•When “No Signal” message is displayed, check TV aerial connection.

•The received signal may be too weak to allow the TV to reliably lock to the desired “No Signal” programme to generate a stable picture. Repeat the tuning procedure (p. 27). If problem persists consult your local TV aerial installer.

•Use care not to subject surfaces to bug repellent, solvent, thinner, or other volatile substances	FrequentlyAsked	Maintenance
(this may deteriorate the surface by peeling the paint).
•Do not allow the cabinet to make contact with a rubber or PVC substance for a long time.
Mains plug
Wipe the mains plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. (Moisture and dust may lead to fire or electrical shock.)
