Precautions
Safety
The television’s components are sensitive to heat.The maximum ambient temperature should not exceed 35° Celsius.
Do not cover the vents at the back or sides of the television.
Leave sufficient space around it to allow adequate ventilation.
Damp in rooms where the set is installed should not exceed 85% humidity.
If you have to use the television outdoors, do not expose it to water from rain or splashing.
Therefore be careful not to place any object containing a liquid (vase, glass, bottle,...) on or near your appliance.
Moving it from a cold atmosphere into a warm one can cause condensation on the screen (and on some components inside the television).
Leave the condensation to evaporate before turning the television on again.
EN
If you are away for a long period, switch the set off at the on/off switch.
Even when off, some components remain in contact with the mains electricity supply.
To completely isolate it you must remove the plug from the mains supply socket.
According to the model dependent, the on/off switch is located at the front or side of the television.
During thunder storms, we recommend that you disconnect the television from the mains and aerial so that it is not affected by
electrical or electromagnetic surges that could damage it.
For this reason, keep the mains socket and aerial socket accessible so they can be disconnected.
Immediately disconnect the television if you notice it giving off a burning smell or smoke.
You must not under any circumstances open the television yourself.
You are at risk of electrocution if you do so.
The set is provided with adequate shielding to avoid the emission of X-rays.
Work by unqualified persons, modifications to the high voltage or replacement of the tube by a model not complying with the
manufacturer’s recommendations may cause a sharp increase in X-ray emissions.
A set modified in this way no longer meets the original specifications and should not be used.
Care
Clean the screen with a glass care cleaner and the rest of the set with a soft cloth and neutral detergent.
Regularly dust the vents at the back or sides. Using solvents, abrasive or alcohol based products risks damaging the television.
Demagnetization
Badly shielded loudspeakers or other strong magnetic fields near theTV can cause patches of colour to appear on the screen.
Move any magnetised materials away from theTV, switch the set off and switch it on fifteen minutes later.
THOMSON is not liable if the television is used other than in accordance with this manual.
In our efforts to improve the quality of our products, we reserve the right to change their features.The information contained in these instructions are
therefore liable to change and are not contractual.

2
Install two LR03 or AAA batteries in the remote control as indicated below.
(see page 5).
Connect theTV to a mains socket.
EN
It is used to supply power to yourTV which must only be supplied with
220 - 240 V ~ 50 Hz. It must not be connected to a D.C. network.
If the plug is detached from the wire, do not plug it into the mains under
any circumstance as there is a danger of electrocution.
3
Connect the outside aerial or cable network to the g socket at
the back of theTV set.
The aerial socket (75 OhmsVHF/UHF/Cable) located at the rear of theTV set is
intended for the connection of an antenna or another set fitted with a modulator
(videorecorder, satellite receiver, etc.)
We recommend that you do not initially connect other equipment to your TV (VCR,
decoder, etc.) so as not to complicate the set-up procedure with additional factors.
Connect them up when you have finished setting up the channels by referring to page
16 of the manual.
4
Switch theTV on by pressing the on/off button (A).
Depending on the model, this button is located on the front or side of

information on how to update your channels if the channels have already
been set up (if you have moved house, for instance).
Information about connecting other equipment to the AV (Audio-Video) sockets is given on
page 16.
Before referring to it, complete the initial channel set-up procedure on the next page to
avoid any problems with equipment selection.

Adjusting the convergence
Your projection television is equipped with three coloured projection tubes,one each for red,green and blue.The images (red,green
and blue) are projected onto the screen where they converge to form a single colour image. It occasionally happens that after a
certain period of operation or as a result of vibration (if you have moved the television, for instance), the convergence goes out of
alignment.This results in coloured contour appearing around people and objects, requiring the convergence to be adjusted.This
page explains this procedure.
These settings only apply to projection televisions.
