• You can add an additional satellite to your current
satellite installation. The installed satellites and their
channels remain untouched. Some satellite operators
do not allow adding a satellite.
• The additional satellite should be seen as an extra, it is
not your main satellite subscription or not the main
satellite of which you use its channel package. Typically,
you would add a 4th satellite when you have 3 satellites
already installed. If you have 4 satellites installed, you
might consider removing one first to be able to add a
new satellite.
• If you currently have only 1 or 2 satellites installed, the
current installation settings might not allow adding an
extra satellite. If you need to change the installation
settings, you must redo the complete satellite
installation. You cannot use Add satellite if a change of
settings is needed.
(Home) > Settings > Satellite installlation > Search
for satellite > Remove satellite
You can remove one or more satellites from your
current satellite installation. You remove the satellite
and its channels. Some satellite operators do not allow

channel list
You can select your preferred satellite channel list when
press LIST to open satellite channels.
Satellites can offer channel packages that bundle free
channels (free-to-air) and offer a sorting that suits a
country. Some satellites offer subscription packages - a
collection of channels you pay for.
Select From a sorted channel package to install the
channels of the package only or select All channel
unsorted to install the package and all other available
channels too. We recommend a Quick installation for
subscription packages. If you have additional satellites
that are not part of your subscription package, we
recommend a full installation. All installed channels are
put in the channels list.

installlation > Automatic channel update
If you receive digital channels, you can set the TV to

Alternatively, you can start a channel update yourself.
Automatic channel update
Once a day, at 6 AM, the TV updates the channels and
stores new channels. New channels are stored in the All
channels list but also in the New channels list. Empty
channels are removed.
If new channels are found or if channels are updated or
removed, a message is shown at TV start up. The TV
must be in standby to automatically update channels.
Channel Update Message
(Home) > Settings > Satellite installlation > Channel
update message
When new channels are found or if channels are
updated or removed, a message is shown at TV start up.
To avoid this message to appear after every channel
update, you can switch it off.

- LNB - Select the LNB for which you want to add new
channels.
- Polarisation - Select the polarisation you need.
- Symbol rate mode - Select Manual to enter symbol
rate.
- Frequency - Enter the frequency for the transponer.
- Search - Search for transponder.
Troubleshooting
The TV cannot find the satellites I want or the TV
installs the same satellite twice
- Make sure that the correct number of satellites is set in
Settings 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.
With the first satellite set at the strongest signal, select
Search again to find the second satellite.
- Make sure 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 a Unicable system, make sure you assigned
two unique user band numbers for both built-in tuners
in the Unicable settings. 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.
Sometimes the reception is poor
- Check if the satellite dish is solidly mounted. Strong
winds can move the dish.
- Snow and rain can degrade the reception.

• Avoid force coming onto power plugs. Loose power
plugs can cause arcing or fire. Ensure that no strain is
exerted on the power cord when you swivel the TV
screen.
• To disconnect the TV from the mains power, the
power plug of the TV must be disconnected. When
disconnecting the power, always pull the power plug,
never the cord. Ensure that you have full access to the
power plug, power cord and outlet socket at all times.
Risk of Injury or Damage to the TV
• Two people are required to lift and carry a TV that
weighs more than 25 kg or 55 lbs.
• If you mount the TV on a stand, only use the supplied
stand. Secure the stand to the TV tightly.
Place the TV on a flat, level surface that can support the
weight of the TV and the stand.
• When wall mounted, ensure that the wall mount can
safely bear the weight of the TV set. TP Vision bears no
responsibility for improper wall mounting that results in
accident, injury or damage.
• Parts of this product are made of glass. Handle with
care to avoid injury or damage.
Risk of damage to the TV !
Before you connect the TV to the power outlet, ensure
that the power voltage matches the value printed on
the back of the TV. Never connect the TV to the power
outlet if the voltage is different.
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 contains 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
42
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.
Risk of Overheating
Never install the TV in a confined space. Always leave a
space of at least 20 cm or 8 inches around the TV for
ventilation. Ensure curtains or other objects never cover
the ventilation slots on the TV.
Lightning Storms
Disconnect the TV from the power outlet and antenna
before lightning storms.
During lightning storms, never touch any part of the TV,
power cord or antenna cable.
Risk of Hearing Damage
Avoid using earphones or headphones at high volumes
or for prolonged periods of time.
Low Temperatures
If the TV is transported in temperatures below 5°C or
41°F, unpack the TV and wait until the TV temperature
reaches room temperature before connecting the TV to
the power outlet.
Humidity
In rare occasions, depending on temperature and
humidity, minor condensation can occur on the inside
of the TV glass front (on some models). To prevent this,
do not expose the TV to direct sunlight, heat or extreme
humidity. If condensation occurs, it will disappear
spontaneously while the TV is playing for a few hours.
The condensation moisture will not harm the TV or
cause malfunction.
15.2. Screen Care
• Never touch, push, rub or strike the screen with any
object.
• Unplug the TV before cleaning.
• Clean the TV and frame with a soft damp cloth and
wipe gently. Never use substances such as alcohol,
chemicals or household cleaners on the TV.
• To avoid deformations and colour fading, wipe off
water drops as quickly as possible.
• Avoid stationary images as much as possible.
Stationary images are images that remain onscreen for
extended periods of time. Stationary images include
onscreen menus, black bars, time displays, etc. If you
must use stationary images, reduce screen contrast and
brightness to avoid screen damage.

note that backlight bleeding (“Mura effect”) and /or
unevenness of background light that can only be
observed in dark images or in a very dark and dim room
are considered to be within TV specifications. Such
occurrences do not represent a deterioration nor shall
be regarded as a defect of the TV. Hence, we regret
that claims of this nature for warranty, free of charge
service, replacement or refund cannot be accepted
within and/or out of the warranty period.
