Getting started

Installation

Care and maintenance

Install the TV set in a properly ventilated room.

Do not install this product on an unstable cart, stand or table.

Do not place it on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surfaces.

Always disconnect the TV set from the mains supply before any

cleaning operation. Clean the screen with a glass-cleaning product.

Never use abrasive products.

Clean the front and cabinet using a soft cloth impregnated with a

neutral detergent. Using solvents, abrasive or alcohol-based

products could damage the set.

Do not install the TV set in an enclosed area unless proper

ventilation is provided.

Do not rest objects on the power cord and avoid placing power

cord near high traffic areas.

Regularly dust the air vents located at the back.

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result

in a risk of fire or electric shock.

Batteries

To reduce the risk of screen burning, do not display still images for

extended periods of time. Examples of still images include still

computer and video game images, logos, pictures, text and images

displayed in 4:3 format.

Precautions on using batteries:

- Only use the battery types specified.

- Make sure you use the correct polarity.

- Do not mix new and used batteries.

- Do not use rechargeable batteries.

When displaying tables, graphics, etc.:

- Decrease the contrast and brightness of the picture as much

as possible.

- Do not expose batteries to excessive heat, throw them on the

fire, recharge them or try to open them, as this could cause them

to leak or explode.

- Display pictures presenting many colours and grading of

colours (photographs).

- Remove the batteries from the remote control if you are not

using it for a long period of time (several weeks).

- Adjust contrast to obtain the least noticeable transition

between dark and light areas (white characters on a black

background).

If the picture displayed is in any way abnormal, turn off the set

using the main power switch located at the back and disconnect it

from the electric outlet.

THOMSON is not liable if the product is not used in

accordance with this manual.

Unpacking and installing

Front panel buttons

Warning:This operation requires two people.

If the batteries in the remote control are run down you can use

the buttons on the TV set’s front panel, under the light, which have

the same functions as the corresponding buttons on the remote

control.They can also be used to navigate through the menus with

the following functions:

1. Place the box upright with its underside on a solid base.The

direction of the arrowheads on the long side of the box

indicates the top of the box.

2. Remove the packaging tape from the opening edge and open

the box’s flap outwards. Remove the two top polystyrene

packing corners and take the accessories box out of the

Before setting up your television set, make sure that the surface you want to put the set on can support its

weight (see the list of specifications provided with the booklet).

Don’t place the set on an unstable surface (e.g. moving shelf, very edge of a unit).

Hanging theTV set on the wall

Warning:This operation requires two people.

If you want to hang your TV set on the wall, proceed as follows:

Holes for

brackets

1. Turn the TV set over (so that the screen is facing the floor)

and place it on a flat, protected surface.

2. Unscrew the four fixing screws from the table stand and

remove the stand.

3. Attach mounting brackets (not provided) to the wall.

4. Position the TV set so that the brackets fit into the holes

provided for this purpose at the back of the appliance.

Make sure that the TV set is securely fixed and cannot fall off.

Note: Check that the wall can support the TV set’s weight and make

sure and use a type of screw that is suitable for the material which

the wall is made of. If necessary, contact a qualified fitter.

Connections and Set-up

Switching on

Follow the instructions on this page on how to switch on your TV set and the remote control before going on to the following pages that

describe how to use the remote control and the channel set-up procedure.

1. Insert two LR06 or AA batteries in the remote control.

2. Connect the TV set to a mains socket.

220 - 240V ~ 50 Hz

Your TV set should only be connected to a 220 - 240V ~ 50 Hz AC supply.

It must not be connected to a DC supply. If the plug is detached from the cable, do

not, under any circumstances, connect it to a mains socket, as there is a risk of

electric shock.

Mains socket in

continental Europe

Equipment for the UK and Ireland is supplied with a mains cable fitted with a

moulded plug.

This plug contains safety components and must not be replaced by one sold by

general retailers. It is fitted with a fuse that protects your television. If your set has

stopped working, the fuse may have blown. If it has, replace it with an identical ASTA

or BSI certified (BS1362) 5-amp fuse.

3. Connect the outside aerial or cable network to the antenna connector (labelled

ANTENNA) on the rear panel of the TV set.

The aerial socket (75 Ohms -VHF / UHF / cable) can be used for connecting an

external aerial or other equipment fitted with a modulator (video recorder, satellite

receiver, etc.).

We recommend that you do not connect other equipment (video recorder, satellite

receiver, etc.) to your TV set to begin with, so as not to complicate the set-up

procedure with the additional steps involved. Connect them when you have finished

setting up the channels by referring to page 16 of this manual.

4. Turn the mains switch on the rear side of the set to position “I”.

Please respect the environment and the relevant regulations. Before you dispose of

batteries (or accumulators), ask your dealer whether they require special recycling

and if he is able to take them back.
