First-time setup of your television
26
First-time setup of your television has four
main steps: registration of all connected
equipment, tuning of channels, loudspeaker
setup and sound adjustment. However, which
menus appear depends on whether or not
the TV tuner is enabled and whether or not
you have connected additional speakers to
the television.
The setup procedure described here is
activated when the television is
connected to the mains and switched
on for the first time. You are led
through an automatic series of on-
screen menus in which you must
register the extra equipment you
have connected and loudspeakers.

Handling your television
Avoid placing the television in direct sunlight
or direct artificial light, such as a spotlight, as
this may reduce the sensitivity of the remote
control receiver. Also if the screen is over-
heated, black spots may appear in the picture.
These spots disappear again, once the tele-
vision cools down to normal temperature.
For further information about the
connection panels, refer to page 50.
To avoid injury, use Bang & Olufsen approved
stands or wall brackets only.
Make sure that the television is set up, placed
and connected in accordance with these
instructions.
Place the television on a firm and stable surface.
The standard placement allows you to tilt the tele-
vision, for example to facilitate viewing at a low
placement. To tilt the television pull at the bottom
of the television
The television is developed for indoor use in
dry, domestic environments only. Use within
a temperature range of 10–40°C (50–105°F).
If you are going to place the television on either the
floor stand or the wall bracket, the two standard
‘feet’ must be removed from the television. Follow
the instructions in the Guide enclosed with these
optional accessories.
Do not place any items on top of the tele-
vision.
Do not attempt to open the television. Leave
such operations to qualified service personnel.
The television was designed to be left in standby
mode when not in use. Therefore, to facilitate
remote control operation, it is essential that
you do not disconnect it from the mains. The
television can only be switched off completely,
if you disconnect it from the mains.
47
To remove the two covers for the main connection
panel, first pull out, then pull down at the bottom
– also if the television is placed on a stand. To
release the cover for the Smart Card and CA-
module (3), press the cover to the right.

Always remove cover 1 before removing cover 2.
When you have made all the connections and
fastened the cables, mount the cable covers again.
