Initial auto installation (DTV)
Digital Video Broadcasting is a transmission scheme. It is much more than a simple replacement for existing analogue television transmission. DVB provides more stations, clearer picture quality and other services displayed on the screen. It also allows a range of new features and services including subtitles and multiple audio tracks. To watch DTV broadcasts, follow the procedures below to scan all available services in your area.

Display status indicator

Off Red Green Power off. The TV is in standby mode. The TV is on.
NOTE If you are not going to use this TV for a long period of time, be sure to remove the AC cord from the power outlet. Weak electric power is still consumed even when a is turned off. In DTV input mode, if the power is turned off immediately after a setting change from the menu screen, the new setting or channel information may not be memorised.
Press DTV or b to access the DTV mode. Press DTV MENU and the DTV Menu screen displays. Press c/d to select Installation. Press a/b to select Auto Installation, and then press OK. If you have already set the PIN, enter it here. If not, enter the factory preset PIN 1234.

See page 17 for setting PIN. A confirmation message displays. Press c/d to select Yes, and then press OK to start the search.
Initial auto installation (Analogue)
When the TV powers on for the first time after purchase, the initial auto installation (Analogue) is invoked. You can automatically set language, country and channels in successive operations.
NOTE The initial auto installation functions only once. If the initial auto installation is not completed (ex: When menu screen disappeared by not operating for a few minutes, when the power shut down, etc.), try Auto Installation from the Setup menu. (See page 15.) The initial auto installation stops by pressing RETURN.
The TV starts scanning all available DTV and radio services in your area.

NOTE The language and country settings used in this operation are the settings you have already set while executing the Initial auto installation (Analogue). If you want to reconfigure the country setting, for instance after moving to another country, conduct Auto Installation from the Analogue Menu again. The services are stored according to the channel number information embedded in the stream (if available). If the information is not available, the services are stored according to the order in which they were received. If you would like to sort the order, it is possible to arrange it as explained in page 24. To cancel the scan in progress, press END. You cannot select any DTV-related menu items unless Auto Installation has been completed.
You do not need to do anything during the auto search.
The setup menu disappears and you can watch the programme on channel 1.

Only works when the audiovisual equipment is connected to the EXT 2 terminal on the TV with AV Link via a fully wired SCART. The use of the AV Link function is only possible if the TV-set has enforced a complete auto-installation with the connected audiovisual equipment (page 8, Initial auto installation). The availability of the AV Link function depends on the audiovisual equipment used. Depending on the manufacturer and type of equipment used, it is possible that the described functions may be completely or partially unusable.

Check the detailed information on the Common Interface module card in use.

Inserting a CA card

A single DVB Common Interface (CI) will be implemented to allow adoption of a Conditional Access (CA) system by means of a plug-in CA module. Scrambled Broadcasting service can be routed via the CA system. If the CA system on the CI module requires a smartcard reader, this reader shall be part of the CI module. When the compatible CA card is inserted, you can view the programme without any operations.

Picture is cut off.

Is the image position correct? (See page 18.) Are screen mode adjustments (4:3 Mode/WSS) such as picture size made correctly? (See pages 18 and 20.) Adjust the picture tone. (See pages 13 and 14.) Is the room too bright? The picture may look dark in a room that is too bright. Check the colour system setting. (See pages 16 and 19.) Check the HDMI Setup setting. (See page 19.)
Strange colour, light colour, or dark, or colour misalignment.
Power is suddenly turned off.
The units internal temperature has increased. Remove any objects blocking vent or clean. Check the power control setting. (See page 15.) Is sleep timer set? Press SLEEP on the remote control unit until it sets to Off. Is connection to other components correct? (See pages 9 and 10.) Is input signal type selected correctly after connection? (See page 19.) Is the correct input source selected? (See page 9.) Is non-compatible signal being input? (See page 33.) Is picture adjustment correct? (See pages 13 and 14.) Is the antenna connected properly? (See page 4.) Is On selected in Audio Only? (See page 18.)

No picture.

No sound.
Is the volume too low? (See pages 6 and 7.) Make sure that headphones are not connected. (See page 7.) Check if you pressed e on the remote control unit. (See page 6.) Check if Monochrome is set to On. If so, set it to Off. (See page 14.)
The DTV menu screen is displayed in monochrome and hard to select the item. The TV sometimes makes a cracking sound.
This is not a malfunction. This happens when the cabinet slightly expands and contracts according to change in temperature. This does not affect the TVs performance.
Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments
When the unit is used in a low temperature space (e.g. room, office), the picture may leave trails or appear slightly delayed. This is not a malfunction, and the unit will recover when the temperature returns to normal. Do not leave the unit in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight or near a heater, as this may cause the cabinet to deform and the LCD panel to malfunction. Storage temperature: l20C to e60C.
IMPORTANT NOTE ON RESETTING THE PIN
We suggest that you remove the following instruction from the operation manual to prevent children from reading it. As this operation manual is multilingual, we also suggest the same with each language. Keep it in a safe space for future reference.
