Glossary
RGB Signals:
These are 3 Red, Green and Blue video signals which directly drive the red, green and blue
emitters in the cathode ray tube. Using these signals provides better picture quality.

S-VHS Signals:
These are 2 separate Y/C video signals from the S-VHS and Hi-8 recording standards.The
luminance signals Y (black and white) and chrominance signals C (colour) are recorded separately
on the tape.This provides better picture quality than with standard video (VHS and 8 mm) where
the Y/C signals are combined to provide only one video signal.

NICAM sound:
Process by which digital sound can be transmitted.

System:
Television pictures are not broadcast in the same way in all countries.There are different standards:
BG, DK, I, and L L’.The SYSTEM setting (p. 6) is used to select these different standards.This is not to
be confused with PAL or SECAM colour coding. Pal is used in most countries in Europe, Secam in
France, Russia and most African countries.The United States and Japan use a different system called
NTSC.The inputs EXT1 and EXT2 are used to read NTSC coded recordings.

16:9:
Refers to the ration between the length and height of the screen.
Wide screen televisions have a ration of 16/9, conventional screen TV sets have a ration of 4/3.

 IMPORTANT

Information for users in the UK (not applicable outside the UK)

Positioning the TV
For the best results, choose a position where light does not fall directly on the screen, and at
some distance away from radiators or other sources of heat. Leave a space of at least 5 cm all
around the TV for ventilation, making sure that curtains, cupboards etc. cannot obstruct the air
flow through the ventilation apertures.
The TV is intended for use in a domestic environment only and should never be operated or
stored in excessively hot or humid atmospheres.

Please take note of the section entitled 'Tips' at the end of this booklet.
Interference
The Department of Trade and Industry operates a Radio Interference Investigation Service to
help TV licence holders improve reception of BBC and IBA programmes where they are being
spoilt by interference.
If your dealer cannot help, ask at a main Post Office for the booklet "How to Improve Television
and Radio Reception".
Mains connection
Before connecting the TV to the mains, check that the mains supply voltage corresponds to the
voltage printed on the type plate on the rear panel of the TV. If the mains voltage is different,
consult your dealer.
Important
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug.To change a fuse in this type of
plug proceed as follows:
1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2. Fit new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A,A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3. Refit the fuse cover.
In order to maintain conformity to the EMC directive, the mains plug on this product must not
be removed.
Connecting the aerial
The aerial should be connected to the socket marked : at the back of the set.An inferior
aerial is likely to result in a poor, perhaps unstable picture with ghost images and lack of contrast.
Make-shift loft or set-top aerials are often inadequate.Your dealer will know from experience the most
suitable type for your locality.
Should you wish to use the set in conjunction with other equipment, which connects to the aerial
socket such as TV games, or a video camera it is recommended that these be connected via a
combiner unit to avoid repeated connection and disconnection of the aerial plug.
Fitting the stand (if provided)
Use only the stand provided with the set, making sure that the fixings are properly tightened.A
diagram showing how to assemble the stand is packed with the stand.
Never use a make-shift stand, or legs fixed with woodscrews.
