Contact a digital TV operator for more information on
terms & conditions.
Smart Card
Digital TV operators provide a CI+ module (Conditional
Access Module - CAM) and an accompanying smart
card, when you subscribe to their premium
programmes.
Insert the smart card into the CAM module. See the
instruction you received from the operator.
To insert the CAM in the TV…
1. Look on the CAM for the correct method of insertion.
Incorrect insertion can damage the CAM and TV.
2. While looking at the back of the TV, with the front of
the CAM facing towards you, gently insert the CAM into
the slot COMMON INTERFACE.
3. Push the CAM in as far as it will go. Leave it in the slot
permanently.

this TV – a wireless speaker or headphones.
To play the TV sound on a wireless speaker, you must
pair the wireless speaker with the TV. The TV can only
play the sound on one speaker at a time.
Attention - Audio to Video synchronisation
Many Bluetooth® speaker systems have a high, so
called, 'latency'. High latency means that the audio lags
behind the video, causing unsynchronised 'lip sync'.
Before you purchase a wireless Bluetooth® speaker
system, inform yourself about the newest models and
look for a device with a low latency rating. Ask your
dealer for advice.
Pairing a Device
Position the wireless speaker within a distance of 5
meters from the TV. Read the user manual of the device
for specific information on pairing and on wireless
range. Make sure the Bluetooth® setting on TV is
switched on.
When a wireless speaker is paired, you can select it to
play the TV sound. When a device is paired, you do not
need to pair it again unless you remove the device.
To pair a Bluetooth® device with the TV:
1 - Switch on the Bluetooth® device and place it within
range of the TV.
2 - Select (Home) > Settings > Wireless &
Networks and press (right) to enter the menu.
3 - Select Bluetooth > Search Bluetooth Device, and
press OK.
4 - Select Search and press OK. Follow the instructions
on screen. You will pair the device with the TV and the
TV will store the connection. You might need to unpair

TV switches off by itself
If the TV switches off suddenly, the setting Switch off
timer might be switched on. With Switch off timer the
TV switches off after 4 hours if no remote control
signals were received. To avoid this automatic switch
off, you can deactivate this switch off. Also, if the TV
does not receive a TV signal nor a remote control
command for 10 minutes, the TV switches off
automatically.
21.3. Remote Control
TV does not respond to the remote control

the broadcaster. In the normal channels list, try to
search for the channel you're missing. If the channel is
still available, you can put it back in the favourites list.
• A channel can be deleted from the channel list during
Automatic channel update. These automatic updates
are done overnight if the TV is on standby.
Channels that do not exist anymore are deleted and
new channels will be added to the channel list.
Exceptionally, a channel can be deleted because the TV
could not find it while checking for its presence. It
might not broadcast at night.
To avoid channels being deleted during the Automatic
channel update because the TV could not find them
although these channels are still there, you can switch
off Automatic channel update.
(Home) > Settings > Channels > Antenna/Cable
installation, Satellite installation* > Automatic channel
update
* Satellite installation is only for models which support
satellite functions.
DVB-T2 HEVC channel
• See the technical specifications to make sure that your

at the start of the installation. You can set the TV to
search for One, Two or 3/4 satellites.
A dual head LNB cannot find a second satellite
• If the TV finds one satellite but cannot find a second
one, turn the dish a few degrees. Align the dish to get
the strongest signal on the first satellite. Check the
signal strength indicator of the first satellite on-screen.
• Check if the settings are set to two satellites.
Changing the installation settings did not solve my
problem
All settings, satellites and channels are only stored at
the end of the installation when you finish.
All satellite channels are gone
If you use an Unicable system, It might be that another
satellite receiver in your Unicable system is using the
same user band number.
Some satellite channels seem to have disappeared
from the channel list
If some channels seem to be gone or displaced, the
broadcaster might have changed the transponder
location of these channels. To restore the channel
positions in the channel list, you can try an update of
the channel package.
I cannot remove a satellite
Subscription packages do not allow removing a
satellite. To remove the satellite, you have to do a
complete installation again and select another package.

Poor reception
If the TV picture is distorted or variable in quality, the
64
input signal might be poor. A weak digital signal is seen
as a picture that is breaking up in square blocks and
freezes occasionally. Much sooner than a bad analogue
signal, a bad digital signal will fall away.
• Check if the antenna cable is properly connected.
• Large loudspeakers, unearthed audio devices, neon
lights, high buildings and other large objects can
influence reception quality when you are using an
antenna. Try to improve the reception by changing the
antenna direction or moving devices away from the
TV. Bad weather might deteriorate the reception.
• Check if all connections, to and from your devices, are

21.8. HDMI - UHD
HDMI
• Note that HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection) support can delay the time taken for a TV to
display content from an HDMI device.
• If the TV does not recognise the HDMI device and no
picture is displayed, switch the source from one device
to another and back again.
• This is an Ultra HD TV. Some older devices - connected
with HDMI - do not recognise an Ultra HD TV
electronically and might not work correctly or show
distorted picture or sound. To avoid the malfunctioning
of such a device, you can set the signal quality to a level
the device can handle. If the device is not using Ultra
HD signals, you can switch off Ultra HD for this HDMI
connection.
If the picture and sound of a device connected with
HDMI is distorted, check if a different HDMI Ultra
HD setting can solve this problem. You can check on
Help > User manual > General Settings > HDMI Ultra
HD.
• If there are intermittent sound disruptions, make sure
that output settings from the HDMI device are correct.
HDMI EasyLink does not work

Stability Hazards
This product is designed and intended for consumers
and personal use in a domestic home environment,
unless agreed otherwise with the manufacturer in
writing. Failure to follow this recommendation or the
instructions provided in the product user manual and
the product supportive documentation can cause
damage to the product and will void the warranty for
such cases.
A television set may fall, causing serious personal injury
or death. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be
avoided by taking simple precautions such as:
• ALWAYS ensure the television set is not overhanging
the edge of the supporting furniture.
• ALWAYS use cabinets or stands or mounting methods
recommended by the manufacturer of the television
set.
• ALWAYS use furniture that can safely support the
television set.
• ALWAYS educate children about the dangers of
climbing on furniture to reach the television set or its
controls.
• ALWAYS route cords and cables connected to your
television so they cannot be tripped over, pulled or
grabbed.
• NEVER place a television set in an unstable location.
• NEVER place the television set on tall furniture (for
example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring
both the furniture and the television set to a suitable
support.
• NEVER place the television set on cloth or other
materials that may be located between the television
set and supporting furniture.
• NEVER place items that might tempt children to climb,
such as toys and remote controls, on the top of the
television or furniture on which the television is placed.
If the existing television set is going to be retained and
relocated, the same considerations as above should be
applied.
Risk of Batteries
• Do not ingest the battery. Chemical burn hazard.
• The remote control may contain a coin/button cell
battery. If the coin/button cell battery is swallowed, it
can cause severe internal burns in just 2 hours and can
lead to death.
• Keep new and used batteries away from children.
• If the battery compartment does not close securely,
stop using the product and keep it away from children.
• If you think batteries might have been swallowed or
67
placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate
medical attention.
• Risk of fire or explosion if the battery is replaced by an
incorrect type.
• Replacement of a battery with an incorrect type that
can defeat a safeguard (for example, in the case of
some lithium battery types).
• Disposal of a battery into fire or a hot oven, or
mechanically crushing or cutting of a battery, that can
result in an explosion.
• Leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature
surrounding environment that can result in an
explosion or the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.
• A battery subjected to extremely low air pressure that
may result in an explosion or the leakage of flammable
liquid or gas.

libjpeg-turbo (2.1.1)
libjpeg-turbo is a JPEG image codec that uses SIMD
instructions (MMX, SSE2, AVX2, Neon, AltiVec) to
accelerate baseline JPEG compression and
decompression on x86, x86-64, Arm, and PowerPC
systems, as well as progressive JPEG compression on x86
and x86-64 systems. On such systems, libjpeg-turbo is
generally 2-6x as fast as libjpeg, all else being equal. On
other types of systems, libjpeg-turbo can still
outperform libjpeg by a significant amount, by virtue of
its highly-optimized Huffman coding routines. In many
cases, the performance of libjpeg-turbo rivals that of
proprietary high-speed JPEG codecs.

the compiler about where function arguments will be
found on entry to a function. A "calling convention"
also specifies where the return value for a function is
found.
