Tuning the TV to your region
If you purchased this TV for use in Australia, it is ready to operate out of the box. However, if 
you purchased this TV for use in a country other than Australia, you will need to perform the 
Auto-Installation setup so that the TV can tune to the local available TV stations. 
Both the Auto Installation and Manual Installation menus contain sub-menus which allow 
you to select the country and PAL TV standard which the TV will use for channel selection.  
See Performing Auto installation and Performing Manual installation on page 27.

those countries will be scanned by the TV tuner to determine your local operating TV stations.  
If Others is selected as the country, all frequencies for the selected PAL TV standard will be 
scanned. (The PAL standard used during the scan is selected in the next step 2b.) 
2b.If Others was selected as the country, press  or to select Standard, press OK, then press 
 or  to select the PAL TV standard appropriate for your country, (PAL B/G/I/D/K) and 
press OK.
3. Press  or  to select Start installation, press OK, then press  or to select Ye s, and press 
OK. The TV will start searching for available channels to install them. This may take several 
minutes, depending on which type of scan is being performed. Please let it complete the scan.
After the scan has finished, the TV will display the first station found. You can now view the TV 
channels it located. 
If you had selected Others for the country, the TV sequential channel list will contain channels 
in the order it found them, placing them sequentially from position zero. If you wish to remove 
any unused or unwanted channels from the sequential channel list, see Skipping a channel in 
the sequential channel list on page 28. If you wish to change the order or position of the 
channels stored, see Swapping channels in the sequential channel list on page 29. 
Otherwise, press MENU twice to close the OSD menu.

The manual installation feature allows you to manually add TV channels or change the channel 
positions in the sequential channel list.

Ordering the sequential channel list
When the TV is manufactured, by default, all of the possible Australian TV channels are 
allocated to the sequential channel list (available through the channel up or down buttons). 
You will likely want to remove all of the channels from the sequential channel list which are not 
being used in your area, so you don’t have to cycle through the unused channel positions. 
The TV will do this for you, by scanning the TV channels in your region and only adding those 
that it detects to the sequential channel list, skipping over all of the others (unused channels). 
See Performing Auto installation on page 27. 
Each position in the sequential channel list always remains in the list. Only the availability 
(visibility and access) of each channel in the list is determined by the channel Skip property of 
each channel position in the list. 
By manually changing the channel Skip property to either Skipped or Added, you can 
control whether the channel up and down function will skip over any particular, or any number 
of, channel positions in the sequential channel list. See Adding a channel in the sequential 
channel list and Skipping a channel in the sequential channel list below.
To make working with the sequential channel list easier, you should provide a name for each 
channel you wish to retain and use in the list. For example, ABC analog channel 2 in Sydney 
Australia is allocated to the TV video frequency of 64.25MHz. It is far easier to refer to it as 
channel 2, than as frequency 64.25MHz. The same reasoning applies to the sequential channel 
list. It is easier to name the frequency of 64.25MHz as channel 2, and store it in position 2 in 
the sequential list. The naming of channels is performed in the Manual installation menu.
Naming a channel
1. From the Setup menu, press  or  to select Manual installation and then press OK. 
2. Press  or  to select CH No, and then press OK. 
3. Pressorto select the sequential channel list position of the channel you wish to name, 
and then press OK.
4. Press  to select CH name, and then press OK. 
5. Pressorto move among different character positions, and then press  or to select a 
desired character. When done, press OK.
The channel name is limited to 5 characters. There is no space character available. The question 
marks do not display on screen. The channel name is right aligned when displayed on screen. 
6. You can stay in this menu to name or rename other channels. To name another channel, 
repeat this procedure from step 2 above.  
When you’re finished, press MENU twice to close the OSD menu.
Skipping a channel in the sequential channel list
1. From the Setup menu, press  or  to select Manual installation and then press OK. 
2. Press  or  to select CH No, and then press OK. 
3. Pressorto select the sequential channel list position of the channel you wish to skip, and 
then press OK.
4. Press  or to select CH skip, and then press OK.
