Setup AND SAFETY-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please note the following instructions when setting up the television set:
7This television is designed to receive and display video and audio signals.
All other uses are expressly prohibited.
7The ideal viewing distance is five times the diagonal screen size.
7Light falling on the screen impairs picture quality .
7To ensure the device is always adequately ventilated, make sure there is sufficient space between the television set and nearby furniture.
7The television is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it outdoors, make sure it is protected from moisture such as rain or splashing water.
Never expose the television set to moisture.
7Do not place any vessels such as vases on the television, as they may spill liquid, thus presenting a safety risk.
7 Place the television on a hard, level surface.
7Do not place any objects such as newspapers on the television or put cloth or similar items under it.
7Do not place the television close to heating units or in direct sunlight, as this will impair cooling.
7Heat build-up can be dangerous and shortens the service life of the television. For reasons of safety, have a repairman remove any dirt in the television from time to time.
7Never open the television under any circumstances. Warranty claims are excluded for damage resulting from improper handling.
7Make sure the power cord or the power supply unit (if provided) are not damaged.
7Only operate the television with the power supply/power cord* provided. (*For products with an adaptor only.)
7Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even when the television is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains or the antenna. Always disconnect the mains and antenna plugs during a storm.
7Use a damp, soft cloth to clean the screen. Do not use water with soap or detergent.
7Only clean the housing of your television set with the cloth provided. Do not use water with soap or detergent.
7When deciding where to put the device, remember that furniture is often coated with various types of varnish and plastic. Many of these contain chemicals which can corrode the feet of the device, leaving marks on the surface of the furniture which can be difficult or impossible to remove.
7The screen of your LCD television meets the highest quality standards and has been checked for pixel faults.
Despite the great care taken in manufacturing, technological reasons make it impossible to completely discount the possibility that some pixels may be faulty.
Provided they are within the thresholds specified by the DIN norm, pixel faults of this kind cannot be regarded as a defect as defined by the warranty.
7 To ensure fires do not occur, always keep candles and other open flames away from the device .
4 ENGLISH
Setup AND SAFETY-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7Do not connect any other equipment while the device is switched on. Also switch off other equipment before connecting it.
7Do not plug in the power cord of the device until you have connected the external equipment and the antenna.
7Make sure the mains plug is freely accessible.
Caution:
7If you plan on using a wall bracket for your television, make sure you read the assembly manual for the wall bracket or have a specialist assemble it.
7When purchasing the wall bracket, make sure that all the fastening points on the television are also on the wall bracket and that they are all used when mounting it.
ENGLISH 5
General information---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Special features of your television set
7You can receive and watch digital TV channels using your television set (via DVB-T and DVB-C)
– including High Definition programmes (HD). However, the reception of digital TV channels in HD is currently limited to a few countries in Europe.
7Although this television set complies with the current DVB-T and DVB-C standards (status: August 2010), the compatibility with future terrestrial DVB-T and DVB-C cable programmes cannot be guaranteed.
7Your television set can receive and process all analogue and non-encrypted digital TV channels. The television set is also equipped with digital and analogue receivers.
7The electronic TV guide (for digital channels only) informs you about any schedule changes at short notice, and provides an overview of all the broadcasters' schedules for the next few days. Detailed information on the individual television programmes are – when provided by the broadcasting station – are also available in the electronic TV guide.
7You can connect various data media, such as an external hard drive, a USB memory stick or a digital camera, to the USB socket. Using the file browser, you can then select and play the file formats of your choice (for example, MP4, MP3 or JPEG data).
6 ENGLISH
General information---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Receiving digital channels
7You require a digital roof antenna or indoor antenna (passive or active indoor antenna with its own power supply) to receive digital television channels (DVB-T).
7If you wish to receive digital television channels via your cable system (DVB-C), the antenna cable for your cable operator must be connected to the television set.
7Unlike analogue broadcasting, not every channel has its own transmission frequency. Instead, several channels 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 by consulting a current TV guide or the Internet.
7Various digital television channels from private broadcasters are encrypted (DVB-T and DVB- C). Watching these channels and the recording and playback functions are only possible with the appropriate CI module and a SmartCard. Ask your specialist dealer.
The range of channels available from the public broadcasting institutions (ARD with EinsExtra, EinsFestival or ZDF with ZDF Info and all third party broadcasters) are not encrypted and can be received without a SmartCard.
Important notes on environmental protection
7The following information will help you to save resources – and money as well.
7If you are not using your television set for several days, you should pull out the mains plug for environmental and safety reasons. This way the television does not consume any electricity.
7As switching off the television set does not completely disconnect it from the mains, pull out the plug to disconnect it from the mains completely.
7If the device is equipped with a power switch, switching it off using this switch will be sufficient. The energy consumed by the television set is reduced to virtually 0 W.
7In standby mode, the television set uses very little energy. However, it may be necessary to leave the television set in standby mode for certain functions (for example automatic switch-on and switch-off and for timer functions).
7The television set uses less energy when the brightness is reduced.
