Positionin g the TV
For the best results,choose a position where light
does not fall directly on the screen,and at some
distance away from radiators or other sources of
heat.Leave a space of at least 5 cm all around the TV
for ventilation,making sure that curtains, cupboards
etc.cannot obstruct the air flow through the
ventilation apertures.
The TV is intended for use in a domestic
environment only and should never be operated or
stored in excessively hot or humid atmospheres.
General Points
Please take note of the section entitled 'Tips' at the end
of this booklet.
Interference
The Department of Trade and Industry operates a Radio
I n t e r fe rence Investigation Service to help TV licence
holders improve reception of BBC and IBA pro g r a m m e s
w h e re they are being spoilt by interfe re n c e.
If your dealer cannot help,ask at a main Post Office
for the booklet "How to Improve Television and
Radio Reception".
Mains connection
B e fo re connecting the TV to the mains,check that
the mains supply voltage corresponds to the vo l t a g e
printed on the type plate on the rear panel of the T V.
If the mains voltage is diffe re n t ,consult your dealer.
Important
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded
13 Amp plug.To change a fuse in this type of plug
proceed as follows:
1.Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2.Fit new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A,A.S.T.A.
or BSI approved type.
3.Refit the fuse cover.
If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket
outlets,it should be cut off and appropriate plug
fitted in its place.
If the mains plug contains a fuse,this should have a
value of 5A.
If a plug without a fuse is used,the fuse at the
distribution board should not be greater than 5A.
Note:The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a
possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a
13A socket elsewhere.
How to connect a plug
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accord a n c e
with the fo l l owing code :BLUE - "NEUTRAL" ("N")
BROWN - "LIVE" ("L")
1.The BLUE wire must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter "N" or coloured
BLACK.
2.The BROWN wire must be connected to the
terminal which is marked with the letter "L" or
coloured RED.
3.Do not connect either wires to the earth terminal
in the plug which is marked by the letter "E" or by
the safety earth symbol l or coloured green or
green-and-yellow.
Before replacing the plug cover,make certain that
the cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the lead
- not simply over the two wires.
Connecting the aerial
The aerial should be connected to the socket marke d
Mat the back of the set.An inferior aerial is like ly to
result in a poor,p e r h aps unstable picture with ghost
images and lack of contrast.M a ke-shift loft or set-top
aerials are often inadequate.Your dealer will know fro m
experience the most suitable type for your locality.
Should you wish to use the set in conjunction with
other equipment,which connects to the aerial
socket such as TV games,or a video camera it is
recommended that these be connected via a
combiner unit to avoid repeated connection and
disconnection of the aerial plug.
Fitting the stand (if provided)
Use only the stand provided with the set,making
sure that the fixings are properly tightened.A
diagram showing how to assemble the stand is
packed in the castor bag.Never use a make-shift
stand,or legs fixed with woodscrews.
In some models only,in order to fit the stand it may
be necessary to remove the feet with the key
provided (see illustration).
To fit the stand remove
the feet on the TV using
the key supplied
(see illustration).
