As soon as you switch to a digital channel with links to a teletext service, software is downloaded
in the background to enable the teletext function. This means that when switching to a digital
channel, you should wait for approximately 5 seconds before pressing the TEXT button - this will
allow the software to download. If you press the TEXT button before download is complete, it will
be ignored and you will have to press the TEXT button again when the download is complete.
While navigating digital teletext, you will find there is a short delay when moving between

Timer Programming
Timer Programming from Menu
The Timer Programming menu allows you to choose programmes that you wish to remind watching or record to the external recorder
or the USB HDD. At the correct time, the TV will tune to the correct channel automatically to record even if the TV is in Standby mode.
TV Guide may also be used to set timer programming event (p. 24).
Timer Programming can store up to 15 events.
For recording using Timer Programming, the TV must be either On or in standby. For reminders to be displayed, the TV must be On.
No other channel can be selected while the recording of Timer Programming is in progress.
It may not be possible to record an encrypted programme (which is copy-protected).
When recording programmes to the external recorder, be sure to make the proper settings on the recorder connected to the TV.
If a compatible recorder with Q-Link or similar technologies is connected to the TV (p.97) and the [Link Settings] (p.41) are
correct, no setting of the recorder is required. Also read the manual of the recorder.
If the recorder is not compatible with Q-Link or similar technologies, set the timer of the recorder in addition to the Timer
Programming on the TV. For preparations of a recorder, read the manual of the recorder.
When recording programmes to the USB HDD, be sure to format the USB HDD and enable it for recording in [Recording
Setup] (p.68).
Recordings to the external recorders are always in standard definition composite video via SCART, even if the original
programme is in high definition.

Maintenance
First, remove the mains plug from the socket outlet.
Display panel, Cabinet, Pedestal
Regular care:
Gently wipe the surface of the display panel, cabinet,
or pedestal by using a soft cloth to clean the dirt or
fingerprints.
For stubborn dirt:
Dampen a soft cloth with clean water or diluted neutral detergent
(1 part detergent to 100 parts water). Then wring the cloth and
wipe the surface. Finally, wipe away all the moisture.
Caution
Do not use a hard cloth or rub the surface too hard. This may cause scratches on the surface.
Take care not to subject the TVs surfaces to water or detergent more than requires. A liquid inside the TV could lead to product failure.
Take care not to subject the surfaces to insect repellent, solvent, thinner or other volatile substances. This may degrade
surface quality or cause peeling of the paint.
The surface of the display panel is specially treated and may be easily damaged. Take care not to tap or scratch the surface with your fingernail or other hard objects.
Do not allow the cabinet or pedestal to make contact with a rubber or PVC substance for a long time. This may degrade surface quality.
Mains plug
Wipe the mains plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. Moisture and dust may lead to fire or electrical shock.
