process all analogue and all digital stations. This television set has an integrated digital and analogue receiver. The digital receiver unit converts the signals from digital stations to provide outstanding audio and picture quality. The TV guide (only for digital stations) tells you of any schedule changes at short notice, and provides an overview of all the stations' schedules for the next few days. If the broadcaster provides it, you can call up detailed information on each programme at the touch of a button. This television has a ver y comprehensive, user-friendly menu system. 2 Receiving digital stations You need a digital outdoor or indoor aerial (passive or active indoor aerial with its own power supply) to receive digital stations. Unlike analogue broadcasting, not every station has its own transmission frequency. Instead, several stations are grouped into what are known as bouquets on a regional or national level. You can find the current transmission information on teletext from various broadcasters, or look in a TV guide or on the Internet. Safety is Important Y safety and the safety of others is important.
