Notes on the environment by
Grundig

Technology and ecology combine into a convincing
overall concept with this TV set. Ecologically high­quality materials are used exclusively. The housing
contains a high amount of recyclable parts from
used plastics and the surface colours used are
water-based, partly recycled. Wherever possible,
painting of individual housing parts has been omit­ted. Due to the optimized housing construction,
flame protection materials have been omitted. The
number of plastic types has been reduced through
and through in order to ensure high-quality recy­cling when the set is put out of use – all larger
plastic parts are marked. For optimum re-use, this
TV set has been constructed in such a way as to
make dismantling very easy.

Safety and installation

❒

Dear customer

In order that you may enjoy the entertainment of
this high-quality comfortable TV set for a long time
it is very important that you observe the following
points when installing the set.

Ń

!

The ideal position for viewing is 5 times the diago­nal width of the screen.
External lights in the direction of the screen have a
negative influence on picture quality.

Ń

!

Sufficient space inside cabinets in a corresponding
location.

Ń

!

Do not place any covers on the ventilation slits.

Ń

!

Heat could build up inside the set.
Heat building up inside the set causes danger and

has a negative influence on the life expectancy of
the set. From time to time, have a specialist remove
the particles which have collected inside the set.

Ń

!

Do not damage the mains supply cable.
“The appliance may only be operated using the
mains cable set supplied. It prevents mains interfe­rence and is an integral part of the device approval”.

Ń

!

Do not set up any magnetic fields (e.g. loud­speakers) near the set.

Ń

!

Make sure that no liquids or external objects pene­trate the appliance (danger of short circuits).

Ń

!

Clean the screen with a soft damp cloth only. Use
only clear water.

Ń

!

Avoid damage by lightning by removing the mains
and aerial cables.

Even if the set is switched off, damage can occur
due to lightning striking the mains supply and/or
the aerial cable.

❒

Switching picture formats

PALplus is the compatible further developement of
the PAL color television which has proved itself
over decades in a new 16:9 picture format which
has been developed by European broadcasting cor­porations and entertainment electronics corporati­ons.
PALplus transmissions in 16:9 format are noted
specially in relevant magazines and in videotext.

The unit switches automatically to the 16:9 format
during PALplus transmissions.

Under bad reception conditions, it is possible for
the picture format to switch between 16:9 and 4:3.
In this case, the automatic picture format switching
function can be turned off. Read page 14 in the
chapter «Service» for information on this topic.

With the

¢

E

button, you can choose between
the picture formats: » Automatic format «,
» Format 16:9 «, » CINEMA «, » Format 4:3 « and
»PANORAMA «.

Automatic format

During 16:9 transmissions, the unit switches auto­matically to the »16:9« picture format.

During 4:3 transmissions, the picture is always dis­played so as to fill the entire screen.

This setting is possible only if the the picture swit­ching format in the »Service« menu is set to
»manual« (see page 14)

16:9 picture format

During 4:3 transmissions– with the » 16:9 picture
format « function selected – the picture appears
spread out horizontally.
The picture geometry is stretched out in the hori­zontal direction.

With actual 16:9 signal sources – fed in from a
separate decoder (for example a digital television
system » set-on-top « decoder) via the Euro AV
socket – the picture is completely filled and the pic­ture geometry is correct.

Ǻ

Ǻ

CINEMA

This operating mode is designed primarily for
transmissions in the 16:9 format.
The black stripes one normally sees above and
below the picture are overwritten.
The Cinema operating mode displays 4:3 pictures
so that they fill the entire screen.
The transmitted pictures are enlarged, which means
that some picture content on the top and bottom of
the screen is lost. Howevere the picture geometry is
maintained.

PANORAMA

This operating mode is designed for cinema films ­transmitted by broadcasters – with extreme
width/height ratios.
For 4:3 transmissions – with the »Panorama Zoom«
function selected– the picture appears spead out
horizontally.
The picture geometry is stretched out in the hori­zontal direction.

Warning

In case this appliance is supplied with a Safety Standard Approved mains lead fit­ted with a non-rewireable 13 Amp mains plug which, if unsuitable for your
socket, should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted by a
qualified electrician. The fuse and fuse holder must be removed from the plug as
accidental insertion of the redundant plug into a 13 Amp socket is likely to cause
an electrical hazard.

Note: The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock hazard

should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

If it is necessary to change the fuse in the non-rewireable plug, the correct type
and rating (5 Amp ASTA or BSI approved BS 1362) must be used and the fuse
cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged the lead and plug must
not be used until a replacement is obtained. Replacement fuse covers should be
obtained from your dealer.

If a non-rewireable plug or a rewireable 13 Amp (BS 1363) plug is used, it must
be fitted with a 5 Amp ASTA or BSI approved BS 1362 fuse. If any other type of
plug is used it must be protected by a 5 Amp fuse either in the plug or at the dis­tribution board.

Important:
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the follow-ing code:

BLUE – NEUTRAL
BROWN – LIVE

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance may not corre­spond with the coloured marking identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed
as follows:
Connect the BLUE coloured wire to plug terminal marked with the letter "N" or
coloured black.
Connect the BROWN coloured wire to the plug terminal marked with a letter "L" or
coloured red.
In no circumstance must any of the wires be connected to the terminal marked
with a letter "E", earth symbol , coloured green or green and yellow.

Replacement mains lead can be obtained from your dealer.
