refer to the wall-hanging bracket installation manual.
TY-WK3L2RW
Warning
Using other wall-hanging brackets, or installing a wall-hanging bracket by yourself has the risk of personal
injury and product damage. In order to maintain the unit’s performance and safety, be sure to ask your dealer
or a licenced contractor to secure the wall-hanging brackets. Any damage caused by installing without a
qualified installer will void your warranty.
Carefully read the instructions accompanying optional accessories, and be sure to take steps to prevent the
TV from falling off.
Handle the TV carefully during installation since subjecting it to impact or other forces may cause product
damage which will void your warranty.
Do not mount the unit directly below ceiling lights (such as spotlights or halogen lights) which typically give off
high heat. Doing so may warp or damage plastic cabinet parts.
Take care when fixing wall brackets to the wall. Wall mounted equipment must not be grounded by metal
within the wall. Always ensure that there are no electrical cables or pipes in the wall before hanging bracket.
To prevent fall and injury, remove the TV from its fixed wall position when it is no longer in use for an extended
period of time.

Note
As soon as you switch to a digital channel with links to a teletext service,
software is downloaded in the background to enable the teletext function.
This means that when switching to a digital channel, you should wait for
approximately 5 seconds before pressing the TEXT button - this will allow
the software to download. If you press the TEXT button before download is
complete, it will be ignored and you will have to press the TEXT button again
when the download is complete.
While navigating digital teletext, you will find there is a short delay when
moving between pages while the page downloads. There is often a prompt
shown somewhere on the page (for example “Loading”) to let you know that
this is happening.

Timer Programming from Menu
The Timer Programming menu allows you to choose programmes that you wish to remind watching or
record to the external recorder. At the correct time, the TV will tune to the correct channel automatically
to record even if the TV is in Standby mode.
TV Guide may also be used to set timer programming event (p. 19).
Timer Programming can store up to 15 events.
For recording using Timer Programming, the TV must be either On or in standby. For reminders to be displayed,
the TV must be On.
No other channel can be selected while Ext Rec. of a Timer Programming is in progress.
It may not be possible to record an encrypted programme (which is copy-protected).
When recording programmes, be sure to make the proper settings on the recorder connected to the TV.
If a compatible recorder with Q-Link or similar technologies is connected to the TV (p. 58) and the “Link Settings”
(p. 30) are correct, no setting of the recorder is required. Also read the manual of the recorder.
If the recorder is not compatible with Q-Link or similar technologies, set “Q-Link” in the Setup Menu (p. 30) to the
connected terminal (AV1 or AV2), and set the timer of the recorder in addition to the Timer Programming on the
TV. For preparations of a recorder, read the manual of the recorder.
Recordings are always in standard definition composite video via SCART, even if the original programme is in
high definition.
