2. Connect the TV set to a mains socket.  
The set should only be connected to an AC supply. It must not be  
connected to a DC supply. If the plug is detached from the cord, 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 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) 13-amp fuse.  
3. Connect the outside aerial or cable network to the antenna  
connector (labelled ANT) on the rear panel of the TV set.  
The aerial socket 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 this additional equipment.  
Connect them when you have finished setting up the channels.  
4. Switch the TV set on by putting the main power switch located at  
the back on the ON position, then pressing the power button on the  
front panel.  
The first time you switch on the TV set, the language selection menu  
appears.  
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.

these maximum values, the TV set will have to artificially eliminate dots in order to fit  
within the physical dot capability of the display; therefore, it is possible that the TV set  
may not be able to show details with adequate clarity.
