Leave a space of at least 5 cm all around the TV for ventilation, making sure that curtains, cupboards etc. cannot obstruct the air flow through the ventilation apertures. The TV is intended for use in a domestic environment only and should never be operated or stored in excessively hot or humid atmospheres.  \nInterference  \nThe Department of Trade and Industry operates a Radio Interference Investigation Service to help TV license holders improve reception of BBS and IBA programmes where they are being spoilt by interference.  \nIf your dealer cannot help, ask at a main Post Office for the booklet “How to Improve Television and Radio Reception”.  \nMains Connection  \nBefore connecting the TV to the mains, check that the mains supply voltage corresponds to the voltage printed on the type plate on the rear panel of the TV. If the mains voltage is different, consult your dealer.  \nImportant  \nShould it become necessary to replace the mains fuse, this must be replaced with a fuse of the same value as indicated on the plug.  \n1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.  \n2. The replacement fuse must comply with BS 1362 and have the ASTA approval mark. If the fuse is lost, make contact with your retailer in order to verify the correct type.  \n3. Refit the fuse cover  \nIn order to maintain conformity to the EMC directive, the mains plug on this product must not be removed.  \nConnecting the aerial  \nThe aerial should be connected to the socket marked  at the back of the set. An inferior aerial is likely to result in a poor, perhaps unstable picture with ghost images and lack of contrast. Make-shift loft or set-top aerials are often inadequate. Your dealer will know from experience the most suitable type for your locality.  \nShould you wish to use the set in conjunction with other equipment, which connects to the aerial socket such as TV games, or a video camera it is recommended that these be connected via acombiner unit to avoid repeated connection and disconnection of the aerial plug.  \nFitting the stand (if provided)  \nUse only the stand provided with the set, making sure that the fixings are properly tightened. A diagram showing how to assemble the stand is packed with the stand. Never use a make-shift stand, or legs fixed with woodscrews.  \nAccess Code / Code d'accès / Zugangkennziffer / Codice di accesso / Código de acceso  \nWhen the set is in the Standard Security Mode, the Set-up Menu may be accessed either with an Institutional Set-up Remote Control, or with a guest remote control (like the RC2886) by pressing the following Remote Control keys in sequence: (consult Philips iTV)  \nCare of the screen  \nDo not touch, push or rub or strike the screen with anything hard as this may scratch, mar or damage the screen permanently. Do not rub with dust clothes with chemical treatment. Do not touch the surface with bare hands or greasy cloth (some cosmetics are detrimental to the screen) . Unplug the TV before cleaning the screen. When the surface becomes dusty, please wipe gently with absorbent cotton or other soft materials like chamois soaks. Do not use acetone, toluene and alcohol because they cause chemical damage.  \nDo not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Wipe off saliva or water drops as soon as possible. Their long time contact with the screen causes deformations and colour fading.  \nWarning concerning stationary images on the TV screen (42” Plasma)  \nA characteristic of Plasma Display Panels is that displaying the same image for a long time can cause a permanent after-image to remain on the screen. This is called phosphor burn in. Normal use of the TV should involve the showing of pictures that contain constantly moving and changing images that fill the screen.  \nWarning concerning VGA/DVI disp","cbCaibYv0vIC5PSk","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibYv0vIC5PSk","pdf",799060,28,"English","# Positioning the TV\n## Interference and reception help\n## Mains connection and fuse replacement\n## Connecting the aerial\n## Fitting the stand\n## Access code in Standard Security Mode\n## Care of the screen\n## Warnings and display modes\n## Environmental and disposal guidance\n## Wall mounting and table-stand notes\n## Installing the remote control","[{\"question\":\"How should the TV be positioned for best results in the UK?\",\"answer\":\"Choose a spot where light does not fall directly on the screen and keep the TV away from radiators or other heat sources.
