The LCD panel is a very high technology product, giving you fine picture details. Due to the very large number of pixels, occasionally a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red. This is within product specifications and does not constitute a fault.

E When using the EXT 2 (SCART) terminal
If your VCR supports TV-VCR advanced AV Link systems, you can connect the VCR using a fully wired SCART cable.

Decoder

NOTE In cases when the decoder needs to receive a signal from the TV, make sure to select the appropriate input terminal to which the decoder is connected in Manual adjust in the Analogue Setting menu. (Page 27) TV-VCR advanced AV Link systems may not be compatible with some external sources. Do not connect the decoder to the EXT2 terminal.

Controlling devices with SCART using AV Link
This TV incorporates four typical AV Link functions for smooth connections between the TV and other audiovisual equipment. One Touch Play While the TV is in standby mode, it automatically turns on and plays back the image from the audiovisual source (e.g. VCR, DVD). TV Standby When the TV enters standby mode, the connected audiovisual equipment (e.g. VCR, DVD) enters standby mode as well. WYSIWYR (What You See Is What You Record) When the remote control unit of the connected VCR has the WYSIWYR button, you can automatically start recording by pressing the WYSIWYR button. Preset Download Automatically transfers the channel preset information from the tuner on the TV to the one on the connected audiovisual equipment (e.g. VCR) via the EXT 2 terminal.
NOTE Refer to the operation manuals of external equipment the details. 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 9, 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. 17

Strange colour, light colour, or dark, or colour misalignment. Power is suddenly turned off.

No picture.

No sound.
Is the volume too low? Make sure that headphones are not connected. Check if you pressed e on the remote control unit. 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.
The TV sometimes makes a cracking sound.
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: e5C to e35C.

SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K. The mains lead of this product is tted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 13A fuse. Should the or and of the same rating as above, fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used. Always ret the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover tted. In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut off the mains plug and t an appropriate type.

DANGER: The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed immediately and disposed of in a safe manner. Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet, as a serious electric shock may occur. To t an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below: IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Blue: Neutral Brown: Live As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or coloured red. Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-pin plug. Before replacing the plug cover make sure that: If the new tted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug. The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead, and not simply over the lead wires. IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
