General Information

General

I would like to have louder 
sound by connecting 
additional speakers

Subject to the TV model and connections, it is possible to connect the TV to an 
external amplifi er or surround sound (subject to connections/inputs on the device) as 
follows:-
1) Connect a COAX cable* from the TV’s COAX output to your amplifi er/surround 
systems COAX input
2) Connect a 3.5mm jack to L/R phono cable* from the TV’s headphone socket (where 
fi tted) to your amplifi er/surround sound L/R input. Please note sound to the TV’s 
speakers will be disabled.  
3) On selected models, it maybe possible to connect a SCART input/output* switch with 
an additional L/R Phono cable* to the TV’s SCART socket and to the L/R Phono Input of 
your amplifi er/surround sound. Please note due to copyright laws it is not possible to 
output video/sound from the TV on certain sources, i.e. HDMi, DVD etc. 
*cables and switches mentioned are available to purchase separately from your 
retailer.

General

Why are some options in 
the menu unavailable and 
greyed out

Some options are only available in certain sources, i.e. HDMI, PC/VGA. They are 
unavailable in the other sources where they have no affect.

TV

I have tuned in Digital TV 
but I am not  receiving any 
or all of the channels and/
or the channels I receive are 
breaking up

1) Check you are in an area that can receive Freeview. Visit www.freeview.co.uk or call 
08701 111 270.
2) Check you are using an aerial that is able to receive a good digital signal. In most 
cases, you will need an outdoor digital hi-gain/wideband aerial. In areas that have 
excellent Freeview coverage, you may be able to use a loft type aerial but it is highly 
likely that you will also need to connect a booster between the back of the TV and 
the TV aerial wall socket. Unfortunately, to receive a good enough digital signal, it is 
not possible to use a portable/indoor type aerial. This may change once the analogue 
signal is switched off in 2012 and the Digital signal strength is increased.

TV

I have re-tuned my television 
but when I switch it off it is 
not storing the channels

Complete a fi rst time installation, please refer to the set-up menu section of the 
manual of how to do this

DVD

I have inserted a disc but it is 
not playing

1) Ensure you have inserted put the disc in facing the correct way forward
2) Ensure the disc is clean and is not scratched
3) Some copied discs will not play.
4) Check the DVD is a region 2 disc – to change the region of the DVD player, refer to 
section ‘Changing Regions’ on the website.

VCR/DVD
Recorder

I have connected the TV to 
my VCR or DVD Recorder via 
SCART but it is not recording

In addition to connecting via SCART, you should connect the aerial cable from the 
wall socket to your VCR/DVD Recorder and another aerial cable from the VCR/DVD 
Recorder to the TV

Game Consoles

I have connected my PS3 to 
the TV via HDMI, but I am 
not receiving any pictures or 
sound on my TV

1) Ensure the TVs source is on HDMI
2) Check your settings on your PS3 are as per the PS3 instruction manual

Game Consoles

I have connected my 
Xbox 360 to the TV via 
Component Cables (Red, 
Green & Blue) but I am not 
receiving any sound

Component cables only provide HD Pictures. For the sound you will need to connect 
the Red & White audio cables on the Xbox to the Red & White phono inputs on the 
rear of the TV. Please refer to the ‘Connections’ pages.

USB Mode

I have inserted a USB 
Memory Key, but the TV 
does not recognise it

Ensure the USB Memory Key is formatted to type FAT32.

USB Mode

Using a USB portable hard 
drive

If you wish to use a portable hard drive larger than 32GB, please note that it must 
be formatted to the FAT32 fi le system in order to operate on this TV. Windows XP/
Vista computers are only capable of formatting up to 32GB, therefore, you will need a 
software programme/utility to format larger hard drives. Please refer to the web site 
for more information.
