SET-UP AND SAFETY  
Please note when deciding where to put the device that furniture  
surfaces are covered by various types of lacquer and plastic, most  
of which contain chemical additives. These may cause corrosion to  
the feet of the device, thus resulting in stains on the surface of the  
furniture which can be difficult or impossible to remove.  
The screen of your LCD television meets the highest quality  
standards and has been checked for pixel faults.  
Despite the great care taken in manufacturing, technological  
reasons make it impossible to completely discount the possibility that  
some pixels may be faulty.  
Provided they are within the thresholds specified by the DIN norm,  
pixel faults of this kind cannot be regarded as a defect as defined  
by the warranty.

INFORMATION  
Additional Information for units sold in the UK.  
Units sold in the UK are suitable for operation from a 240V ac, 50Hz mains  
supply.  
The range of multi-system receivers is built to work in most European coun-  
tries. However, the mains plug and socket system for the UK differs from  
many European countries.  
This appliance has been supplied with a fitted, non-removable, approved  
converter plug for use in the UK. This converter plug is fitted with a 5A rated  
fuse.  
In case this appliance is supplied with a moulded 2-pin Euro plug only,  
which is unsuitable for UK operation, this must be cut off and immediately  
disposed of. An approved 13A, 3-pin UK plug should then be fitted by a  
qualified electrician.  
Note:  
The severed Euro plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock  
hazard should it be inserted into a socket elsewhere.  
If a non-rewireable 3-pin plug or a rewireable 13A (BS1363) 3-pin plug is  
used, it must be fitted with a 5A ASTA or BSI approved BS1362 fuse. If any  
other type of plug is used it must be protected by a 5A fuse either in the  
plug, or at the distribution board. If this type of plug becomes defective,  
ensure that the fuse is removed before disposal, to eliminate potential shock  
hazard.  
If it is necessary to change the fuse in the non-rewireable plug, the correct  
type and rating (5A ASTA or BSI approved BS1362) must be used and the  
fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged, the lead and  
plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained. Replacement fuse  
covers should be obtained from your dealer.  
Important:  
The wires in the mains lead are colour coded in accordance with the follo-  
wing code:  
BLUE – NEUTRAL  
BROWN – LIVE  
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance may not cor-  
respond with the coloured marking identifying terminals in your plug, pro-  
ceed as follows:  
Connect the BLUE coloured wire to plug terminal marked with the letter “N”  
or coloured black.  
Connect the BROWN coloured wire to the plug terminal marked with the let-  
ter “L” or coloured red.  
In no circumstance must any of the wires be connected to the terminal mar-  
ked with the letter “E”, earth symbol “z”, coloured green, or green & yel-  
low.
