Basic operation  
Viewing a digital text service  
Most digital TV channels broadcast information via their text service. This digital service  
includes high quality text and graphics along with advanced navigation options.  
Additionally, this TV has access to dedicated text channels transmitted by the  
broadcasting authorities. The appearance, content and navigation methods of all digital  
text services are decided by the broadcaster. For example, the BBC’s digital text service  
may look different to ITV’s digital text. However, the digital text services currently  
available use simple navigation methods based on the following buttons:  
The GUIDE button  
to load up the digital text,  
The V, v, B and b buttons (to move around the screen),  
The OK button or the numbered buttons (to select items on screen),  
The four coloured buttons (to access shortcuts).

Memory Stick operation  
Viewing Memory Stick pictures  
A ‘Memory Stick’* is a new recording medium with a data capacity that exceeds a floppy  
disk. It is specially designed for exchanging and sharing digital data among ‘Memory  
Stick’ compatible products. Use ‘Memory Stick’ to display JPEG pictures (DCF version  
1.0 format)** individually or as a slideshow presentation on the TV screen. Because it is  
removable, ‘Memory Stick’ can also be used for external data storage.  
Inserting a ‘Memory Stick’  
Insert a memory stick into the front control panel of the TV set until it clicks into the  
connector. The v symbol must be facing forwards. The red light flashes indicating that  
the memory stick contents are being read.  
Removing a ‘Memory Stick’  
Confirm that the red light is off. Do not pull the memory stick. You must push the  
memory stick and then release. The memory stick will spring out.  
Note:  
Data stored on a ‘Memory Stick’ may become damaged or erased if you remove the ‘Memory  
Stick’ when it is reading or writing data.  
The ‘Memory Stick’ menu  
The ‘Memory Stick’ menu is displayed automatically when you insert the memory stick  
into your TV set. Alternatively, if there is a memory stick already inserted, press the  
MEMORY STICK button on the remote control to display the menu screen. There are 3
