Moving the television
The earth's magnetic field can affect the colour quality of the picture, but your television has a built-in
demagnetisation system to prevent this. The system works whenever the mains power is switched on while the
television is cool. So if you have to move the television, leave it for at least 15 minutes before you switch it on.
Make the connections
The aerial
Connect the aerial lead to the aerial socket at the back of the television (see diagram 1).
You will need a good-quality aerial to receive teletext and nicam sound.
• If an aerial cable is supplied with your television, connect it between your old aerial
cable and the television. One end only plugs into your aerial cable and the other
end only plugs into your television. If you have a video recorder, replace the aerial
cable between your video recorder and your television with the one we have
supplied.
Other equipment
If you have a video recorder, you will need to connect the aerial lead to the video
recorder. Then, connect the aerial output lead from the video recorder to the television
aerial socket. There is information about connecting aerials and other equipment in
'How to connect scart cables' on page 9.
The scart (AV) sockets
This television has two special interconnecting sockets called 'scart' (AV). You don't
have to use these straight away, but using scart cables gives you the best picture and
sound quality and can get rid of picture interference. And you will only get stereo
sound from other equipment if it is connected with a stereo scart cable. If you have
other equipment with scart sockets, please read 'How to connect scart cables' on
page 9.
Putting the batteries in the remote control
• Slide your thumbnail under the edge of the battery cover where it says 'open' and
press with your thumbnail while lifting the cover up (see diagram 2).
• Put in the two batteries that came with your television (size AAA or LR3)
• Make sure that the (+) and (-) marks on the batteries agree with the (+) and (-)
marks inside the battery compartment.
• Replace the cover by sliding it into position and pressing down at the end marked
'open'.
• Throw away the old batteries carefully. Do not put them on a fire.
