Digital Switchover for Terrestrial broadcasts

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
channels and some Digital TV channels will be missing.
You will need to retune your TV each time this happens to recover your digital channels. Analogue
channels are permanently turned off, it will not be possible to recover them.
●To retune your TV “Auto Setup” in “DVB Tuning Menu”-DVB mode (p. 36)
Users of cable or satellite boxes should still retune the TV to continue to receive Freeview channels
via their aerial. (Your Analogue channel for viewing Cable or Satellite services will change to a new
position.)
●Due to the digital reception technologies involved, quality of the digital signals may be relatively low in some
cases, despite good reception of analogue channels.

Timer Programming from Menu
The Timer Programming menu allows you to choose programmes that you wish to remind watching or
record to the external recorder. At the correct time, the TV will tune to the correct channel automatically
to record even if the TV is in Standby mode.

●Timer Programming can store up to 15 events.
●For recording using Timer Programming, the TV must be either On or in standby. For reminders to be displayed,
the TV must be On.
●No other channel can be selected while Ext Rec. of a Timer Programming is in progress.
●It may not be possible to record an encrypted programme (which is copy-protected).
●When recording programmes, be sure to make the proper settings on the recorder connected to the TV.
If a compatible recorder with Q-Link or similar technologies is connected to the TV (p. 56) and the “Link Settings”
(p. 30) are correct, no setting of the recorder is required. Also read the manual of the recorder.
●If the recorder is not compatible with Q-Link or similar technologies, set “Q-Link” in the Setup Menu (p. 30) to the
connected terminal (AV1 or AV2), and set the timer of the recorder in addition to the Timer Programming on the
TV. For preparations of a recorder, read the manual of the recorder.
●Recordings are always in standard definition composite video via SCART, even if the original programme is in
high definition.

●If you wish to enjoy multi-channel sound (e.g. Dolby Digital 5.1ch) via an
Amplifier, connect the Amplifier to the TV with an HDMI cable and an Optical
digital audio cable (p. 55), and then select “Home Cinema”. If your Amplifier has
“HDAVI Control 5” function, you only need to connect with an HDMI cable. In this
case, connect your Amplifier to the TV’s HDMI2 terminal.
To enjoy the sound from the DIGA Recorder in multi-channel sound, connect an
HDMI cable from the DIGA Recorder to the Amplifier (p. 55).

Note
●These functions may not work properly depending on the connected equipment.
●Image or sound may not be available for the first few seconds when Input mode is switched.
●Easy playback may be available by using the remote control for Player theatre, Blu-ray Disc theatre or Amplifier.
Read the manual of the equipment.
●“HDAVI Control 5” is the newest standard (current as of December, 2009) for HDAVI Control compatible
equipment. This standard is compatible with conventional HDAVI equipment.

■Auto mode
Auto mode determines the best aspect ratio to fill the screen. It does this using a four step process (WSS,
Control signal through SCART / HDMI terminal, Letterbox detection, or Justify to fill the screen).
This process may take several minutes, depending on the darkness of the image.
Letterbox detection: If black bands at the top and bottom of the screen are detected, Auto mode chooses the
best ratio and expands the image to fill the screen.
If no aspect signals are detected, Auto mode enhances the image for optimum viewing pleasure.

Note
●The ratio varies depending on the programme, etc. If the ratio is out of the standard 16:9, black bands at the top
and bottom of the screen may appear.
●If the screen size looks unusual when a widescreen-recorded programme is played back on a VCR, adjust the
tracking of the VCR. Read the manual of the VCR.

 HDMI connection
HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) is the world’s first complete digital consumer AV interface complying
with a non-compression standard.
HDMI allows you to enjoy high-definition digital images and high-quality sound by connecting the TV and the
equipment.
HDMI-compatible equipment(∗1) with an HDMI or DVI output terminal, such as a DVD player, a set top box or a
game equipment, can be connected to the HDMI terminal using an HDMI compliant (fully wired) cable.
For information about connections, see “External Equipment” (p. 62).
■Applicable HDMI features
●Input audio signal : 2ch Linear PCM (sampling frequencies - 48 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 32 kHz)
●Input video signal : 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p
“Input signal that can be displayed” (below)
Match the output setting of the digital equipment.
●Input PC signal : “Input signal that can be displayed” (below)
Match the output setting of the PC.
●VIERA Link (HDAVI Control 5) : “VIERA Link” (p. 57)
●x.v.Colour™
●Audio Return Channel(∗3) (HDMI2 terminal only)
■DVI connection
If the external equipment has only a DVI output, connect to the HDMI terminal via a DVI to HDMI adapter cable(∗2).
When the DVI to HDMI adapter cable is used, connect the audio cable to the audio input terminal (AV3 AUDIO
terminals).
Note
●Audio settings can be made on the “HDMI1 / 2” in the Sound Menu. (p. 29)
●If the connected equipment has an aspect adjustment function, set the aspect ratio to “16:9”.
●These HDMI connectors are “type A”.
●These HDMI connectors are compatible with HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) copyright
protection.
●Equipment having no digital output terminal may be connected to the input terminal of either “COMPONENT”,
“S-VIDEO”, or “VIDEO” to receive analogue signals.
●This TV incorporates HDMI™ technology.
(∗1): The HDMI logo is displayed on HDMI-compliant equipment.
(∗2): Enquire at your local digital equipment retailer shop.

 Maintenance
First, remove the mains plug from the socket outlet.
Display panel, Cabinet, Pedestal
Regular care:
Gently wipe the surface of the display panel, cabinet, or pedestal by using a soft cloth to clean the dirt or fingerprints.
For stubborn dirt:
Dampen a soft cloth with clean water or diluted neutral detergent (1 part detergent to 100 parts water). Then wring
the cloth and wipe the surface. Finally, wipe away all the moisture.
Caution
●Do not use a hard cloth or rub the surface too hard. This may cause scratches on the surface.
●Take care not to subject the TV’s surfaces to water or detergent more than requires. A liquid inside the TV could
lead to product failure.
