The operating instructions mentioned here are partial abstracts from the ‘Operating
Instruction Manual’. The page numbers of the ‘Operating Instruction Manual’ remain
as in the manual.

The TV consists of a menu system which is based on a series of user friendly on-screen displays and menus. These displays will
help you get the most from your TV, helping you to change picture and sound settings, to alter the size of the TV picture and to
rearrange the TV channels etc.

The picture and sound are preset at the factory. You can however adjust them to suit your own taste.
