When you switch on the TV for the first time a language menu appears
on screen with the word ‘English’ highlighted. Press the 

V or v buttons on

the remote control to highlight the language you require then press the
OK button to confirm.  From now on all menus appear in your chosen
language.

The picture rotation prompt now appears asking you to check if the
picture is slanted. (Sometimes the Earth’s natural magnetism can cause
the screen to look slanted.)

control.

When the digital autotune is complete, the analogue autotune starts to
search for all the available analogue channels.

you to confirm that the aerial is connected correctly. Check all the aerial
connections and press the OK button to start the autotune procedure
again.

Once all available digital and analogue channels have been stored, the
TV returns to normal operation, displaying the digital channel stored on
programme number 1. If no digital channels are found, the analogue
channel stored on programme number 1 is displayed.

Many broadcasters now provide a digital text service. Digital text services offer all
the familiar information that analogue (conventional) text services provide but with
the look and feel of a graphically rich website.

The appearance, content and navigation methods of all digital text services are
decided by the broadcaster. For example, digital text from the BBC may look
different from digital text from ITV. Most of the digital text services currently
available use simple navigation methods based on the following buttons:

There are two ways to view digital text, either while watching a digital channel or by
accessing a dedicated digital text channel.
