7: Performing the initial 
set-up
1Connect the TV to your AC power 
outlet (mains socket).
2Press 1 on the TV. The = (power) 
indicator will light up in green.
When you switch on the TV for the first 
time, the Language menu appears on the 
screen.
~
When you turn on the TV for the first time, the 
TV requires some internal processing for 
optimization before you can perform the 
initial setup. There will be no picture and 
sound, and the timer indicator on the front of 
the TV blinks orange for about 40 seconds. Do 
not turn off the TV during this process.
This process has been completed at the factory 
for some TVs. 
Follow the instructions on the screen.Satellite Auto Tuning: 
The following procedures may be required 
depending on the area:
1Please select “Preferred Satellite” or 
“General Satellite”.
2For “Preferred Satellite”, select your 
preferred operator.
“Satellite Auto Tuning” automatically 
tunes in available satellite channels. Digital 
Satellite Equipment Control (DiSEqC) 1.0 
management allows setting of up to four 
different channels. The following settings 
are independent for each connection. To 
set-up DiSEqC input in the “DiSEqC 
Control”, use “LNB Configuration”.
1 “Scan Type” and “Advanced Settings” 
(for common satellite setting- Satellite 1 
to 4):
Allows you to set tuning settings in more 
detail to better find the type of services you 
would prefer to tune.
“Scan Type”: If no channel is found using 
“Network Scan”, try “Full Scan”.
“Full Scan”: Performs a complete 
frequency scan and guarantees tuning to 
all possible programmes for the currently 
set LNB configuration. Previously-tuned 
programmes will be lost.
“Network Scan”: Performs a scan in the 
transponders of a network (aka NIT 
scan). Since “Network Scan” is faster 
than “Full Scan”, it is recommended 
when tuning to a known network 
(normally associated with a satellite). A 
transponder must be specified, from 
which network information (other 
transponders) will be retrieved. 
Previously-tuned programmes will be 
lost.
2 “LNB Configuration” (for each satellite 
setting- Satellite 1 to 4):
In the case of a non-standard LNB (low-
noise block), manual setting is available.
–In the case of a single satellite channel, 
you can leave it on the initial setting.
–For two satellite channels, you need to 
set “Toneburst A” (1st satellite) and 
“Toneburst B” (2nd satellite) in the 
“DiSEqC Control” setting.

Getting Started
–Or you can use DiSEqC command A 
(1st satellite) and B (2nd satellite), if 
your LNB or multi switch can handle 
these commands.
–For four satellite channels, DiSEqC 
control A, B, C, and D is required.
“LNB Low Band Frequency” and 
“LNB High Band Frequency”:
–Specifies LNB frequency bands. Be 
sure to check your LNB 
documentation to set frequencies 
(normally appears as “L.O. 
frequency”).
–The default values are for a universal 
LNB.
–If your LNB can handle both bands 
(low and high), you can specify both. 
If it handles only one, specify low 
band.
“22 kHz Tone”: If your LNB is dual 
band (low and high bands), set to “Auto”. 
The TV will take care of everything 
automatically; otherwise, set to “Off”.
“LNB Voltage”: Specifies the set 
voltage for a dual polarisation LNB.
–13/18V: default.
–14/19V: if LNB cable is over 60m 
long.
–Off: if an external power supply can be 
used.
3 “Transponder” (for each satellite 
setting- Satellite 1 to 4):
There is no need to set the transponder 
when you select “Full Scan”.
“Scan for new services”:
–Tunes to a single transponder.
–This is an incremental scan, and it 
should be used in cases when a new 
transponder is added to a satellite.
–Previously-tuned programmes are kept 
and found ones are added to the 
program list of the satellite connection 
you are editing.
1Press HOME, then select   > “Digital 
Set-up” > “Satellite Auto Tuning”.
2Follow the instruction on the Satellite 
Auto Tuning.
~
“Scan for new services” is unavailable while 
performing the initial set-up.
When you scan for the new services, please 
check if the satellite signal is available.
Digital Auto Tuning: When you select 
“Cable”, we recommend that you select 
“Quick Scan” for quick tuning. Set 
“Frequency” and “Network ID” according 
to the information supplied from your cable 
provider. If no channel is found using 
“Quick Scan”, try “Full Scan” (though it 
may take some time).
~
“Full Scan” may not be available depending 
on your region/country.
Programme Sorting: Changes the order of 
analogue channels stored in the TV.
1Press F/f to select the channel you want 
to move to a new position, then press  .
2Press F/f to select the new position for 
the channel, then press  .
~
For satellite channels, select “Satellite 
Programme Sorting” in “Digital Set-up” of 
“Settings” to change the order of satellite 
channels in the same procedure above after 
initial set-up completed.
You can also tune channels manually.
