SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 13A fuse. Shouldthe fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked or ASA and of the same ratingas 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 themains 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 ofin a safe manner.Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet, as a seriouselectric 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: NeutralBrown: Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured markingsidentifying 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 coloured black.• The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or coloured red.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:• If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug.• The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead, and not simply over the lead wires.IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

• Check the power control setting. (See page 30.)• Is sleep timer set? (See page 45.)

• Is connection to other components correct? (See pages 31 to 35.)• Has input signal setup been done correctly after connection? (See page 38.)• Is the correct input selected? (See page 38.)• Is a non-compatible signal being input? (See page 52.)• Is picture adjustment correct? (See pages 26 to 28.)• Is the antenna connected properly? (See page 9.)• Is “On” selected in “Audio Only”? (See page 37.)

• Is the volume too low? (See page 16.)• Is “Audio Out (Variable)” selected in “INPUT 4”? (See page 45.)• Is the speaker connected properly?• Is “On” selected in “Centre Channel Input”? (See page 47.)• Make sure that headphones are not connected. (See page 11.)

Troubleshooting

Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments• When the unit is used in a low temperature space (e.g. room, office), the picture may leave trails or appear

slightly delayed. This is not a malfunction, and the unit will recover when the temperature returns to normal.• Do not leave the unit in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight

or near a heater, as this may cause the cabinet to deform and the LCD panel to malfunction.Storage temperature: –20°C to +60°C (–4°F to +140°F).
