Keep this Instruction manual safe you’ll need it

• Television in the UK is going digital, bringing us all more.
• Please see overleaf to find out when your area switches to digital.
• Digital UK is the independent, non-profit organisation leading the process of digital TV switchover in the UK. Digital UK provides impartial information on what people need to do to prepare for the move to digital, and when they need to do it.

How the switchover affects your TV equipment:

• Your new TV has a digital tuner built in, which means it is ready to receive the Free view signal by simply plugging it into your aerial socket (check if you can get digital TV through your aerial now, or whether you’ll have to wait until switchover, at www.digitaluk.co.uk ).
• When the TV switchover happens in your area, there are at least two occasions when you will need to re-tune your TV in order to continue receiving your existing TV channels, and also to pick up new ones. Digital UK, the body leading the digital TV switchover, will advise you when you need to re-tune during the switchover.

How to re-tune:

• If you are missing any channels, it may be that they are not available in your area, or that your aerial needs upgrading.
• If you have any questions, please contact Sony on 08705 111 999 or call Digital UK on 0845 6 50 50 50 or visit www.digitaluk.co.uk

When does switchover happen?
*Copeland switches on October 17, 2007
The exact date you switch depends on the transmitter you are served by. To check when you switch, go to Digital UK’s postcode checker on www.digitaluk.co.uk Check your ITV news service or look at Teletext page 106 to see what TV region you’re in.

†Calls charged at BT rate of 3p per minute daytime and 1p per minute evenings and weekends. Rates may vary for calls from non-BT lines.
