Digital Switchover
Starting in late 2007 and ending in 2012, TV services in the UK will go completely
digital, TV region by TV region.
If you have any questions, please call Digital UK on
08456 50 50 50
or visit
www.digitaluk.co.uk
Digital Switchover will cover a period of several weeks. When it starts you will lose
all Analogue TV programmes and some Digital TV programmes will be missing.
You will need to retune your TV each time this happens to recover your digital
programmes.
To retune your TV “Auto Setup” in “Tuning Menu” (p. 32 and p. 33)
Cable or Satellite users should still retune the TV to continue to receive Freeview
services via their aerial. (Your Analogue programme for viewing Cable or Satellite
services will change to a new position.)
Due to the digital reception technologies involved, quality of the DTV signals may be relatively low in some cases,
despite good reception of analogue programmes.

How to use
In all cases, it is possible to navigate the pages using buttons on the
remote control, but because the commands available must apply to all
manufacturers of DVB equipment, some on screen commands may
not correspond exactly to the remote control buttons.
For example:
When “select” or “go” is displayed
When “”, “”, “”, “” symbol is displayed
When the key words are displayed on colour bar
red
green
yellow

When options with numbers are displayed

You can enjoy news, weather forecasts and subtitles, etc. (depending on the broadcaster)
Note
As soon as you switch to a DVB programme with links to a teletext service,
software is downloaded in the background to enable the teletext function.
This means that when switching to a DVB programme, you should wait for
approximately 5 seconds before pressing the TEXT button - this will allow
the software to download. If you press the TEXT button before download is
complete, there will be a short delay before the text screen is displayed.
While navigating DVB teletext, you will  nd there is a short delay when
moving between pages while the page downloads. There is often a prompt
shown somewhere on the page (for example “Loading”) to let you know that
this is happening.

DVB teletext services
DVB teletext services differ greatly from analogue teletext.
When you switch to a DVB teletext service, the images
you see can contain graphics and text, laid out and
controlled in a manner decided by the broadcaster.

GUIDE
Using TV Guide
TV GuideElectronic Programme Guide (EPG) provides an on-screen listing of the programmes
currently broadcast and the forthcoming broadcasts over the next seven days (depending on the
broadcasters).
This TV supports the GUIDE Plus+ system.
The Gemstar branding partner will supply the rating informations in the event information and the recommended
group in the Prog.Type list.
Analogue programmes will be listed after DVB programmes. “D” means DVB programme and “A” means
Analogue programme.
When this TV is turned on for the  rst time, or the TV is switched off for more than a week, it may take some time
before the TV Guide is completely shown.
