SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.

The mains lead of this product is ﬁtted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 5A fuse.

Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked or

ASA

and of

the same rating as above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used.

Always reﬁt the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover ﬁtted.

In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied,

cut off the mains plug and ﬁt 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 5A socket outlet, as a

serious electric shock may occur.

To ﬁt 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

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:

Teletext

What is Teletext?

Teletext broadcasts pages of information and

entertainment to specially equipped television sets� Your

and decodes them into graphical format for viewing�

News, weather and sports information, stock exchange

prices and program previews are among the many

services available�

Turning on and off Teletext

Select a TV channel or external source providing

1.

a Teletext program.

Press

2. Teletext to display Teletext.

Many stations use the TOP operating system, •

while some use FLOF (e.g. CNN). Your TV

supports both these systems. The pages are

divided into topic groups and topics. After

switching on the teletext, up to 1000 pages

are stored for fast access.

If you select a program with no Teletext signal, •

“No Teletext ” displays.

The same message displays during other •

modes if no Teletext signal is available.

The HDMI connections (High Definition Multimedia

Interface) permit digital video and audio transmission via

a connection cable from a player/recorder� The digital

picture and sound data are transmitted without data

compression and therefore lose none of their quality�

Analogue/digital conversion is no longer necessary in

the connected devices, which also would result in quality

losses�
