Obtain the Signal

The first step in connecting your TV is obtaining the signal. The back panel of your TV allows you to receive 

analog and/or digital channels by using the 

ANT/CABLE/SAT IN

.

Connect the outside aerial or cable network to the 

ANT/CABLE/SAT IN

 on the back of the TV set to

receive off-air channels or cable channnels.

•  If you have a set-top box, you may need to call your 

cable company or satellite service provider. They may 

recommend special cables to allow you to view digital 

channels.

•   The aerial socket (75 OHM - 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.

•  Visit 

www.antennaweb.org for help in deciding what type of antenna to use in order to receive the local 

digital  channels  available  to  you.  Enter  your  location,  and  the  program  will  list  local  analog  and  digital 

stations available using your antenna.

Switching On

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

on to following pages describing how to use the channel scan procedure.
1. Insert two AAA batteries in the remote control.

    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.

    - Do not expose batteries to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like, throw them in a fire, recharge   

      them or try to open them, as this could cause them to leak or explode.

    - Remove the batteries from the remote control if you are not using it for a long period of time.

2. Connect the power cable to a mains socket. (If the power cable is not connected to the television, please 

first connect the power cable to the television.) Your TV 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 cable, do not, under any 

circumstances, connect it to a mains socket, as there is a risk of electric shock.   

3. When powered on, if the TV set is in standby mode, press   on the remote control or on the TV set to turn 

on the TV.

Switching Off

To put the TV set into standby mode, press   on the remote control or on the TV, the TV set remains

powered up, but with low energy consumption.

To switch off the TV set, unplug the mains socket from the mains outlet.
