Please note the following instructions when
setting up the television set:
7
This television is designed to receive and display video and audio signals.
All other uses are expressly prohibited.
7
The ideal viewing distance is five times the
diagonal screen size.
7
Light falling on the screen impairs picture
quality.
7
To ensure the device is always adequately
ventilated, make sure there is sufficient space
between the television set and nearby furniture.
7
The 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.
7
Do 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.
7
Do not place any objects such as newspapers
on the television or put cloth or similar items
under it.
7
Do not place the television close to heating
units or in direct sunlight, as this will impair
cooling.
7
Heat 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.
7
Never open the television under any circumstances. Warranty claims are excluded for
damage resulting from improper handling.
7
Make sure the power cord or the power supply unit (if provided) are not damaged.
7
Only operate the television with the power
supply/power cord provided.
7
Thunderstorms 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.
7
Use a damp, soft cloth to clean the screen.
Do not use water with soap or detergent.
7
Only clean the housing of your television set
with the cloth provided. Do not use water with
soap or detergent.
7
When 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.
7
The screen of your LCD/LED 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.
device is switched on. Also switch off other
equipment before connecting it.
7
Do not plug in the power cord of the device
until you have connected the external equipment and the antenna.
7
Make sure the mains plug is freely accessible.
7
Keep the TV away from following devices as
much as possible: cell phone, microwave and
other devices that uses high frequency radio
wave. Otherwise, TV may be malfunction due
to radio wave interference.
7
Do not expose the batteries to excessive heat
such as direct sunlight, fire, etc.
7
Do not use old and unused batteries together.
7
Only replace the exhausted batteries with
those having the same model, value and properties.
7
By ensuring proper disposal of these batteries,
you will have contributed in prevention of potential hazards on the environment and human
health that may arise from inappropriate disposal of the batteries.
7
This is a Class A product. During operation the
device could cause radio interference. In this
case the user may have to remedy this. Please
contact your specialist dealer.
Caution:
7
If 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.
7
When 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.
You can receive and watch digital TV channels using your television set (via DVB-S/S2,
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.
7
Although this television set complies with the
current DVB-S/S2, DVB-T and DVB-C standards (status: August 2010), the compatibility
with future DVB-S/S2 satellite transmissions as
well as terrestrial DVB-T and DVB-C cable programmes cannot be guaranteed.
7
Your 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.
7
The 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.
7
You 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).
Receiving digital channels
7
You require a satellite antenna to receive
digital satellite channels (DVB-S/S2).
7
You 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).
7
If 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.
7
Unlike 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.
7
Various digital television channels from private broadcasters are encrypted (DVB-S/S2,
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 pub-
lic 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.
Grundig SCR system
7
Your TV supports SCR system (Satellite Channel
Router). If your antenna installation is equipped
with an Single Cable Distribution multiswitch,
all television sets which are connected on this
antenna can receive the television channels
stand-alone.
The following information will help you to save
resources – and money as well.
7
If 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.
7
If 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.
7
In 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).
7
The television set uses less energy when the
brightness is reduced.
Notes on still images
Watching the same image for a long time on the
screen may cause a still image remains feebly on
the background. Feeble image(s) on the background is originated from LCD/LED technology
and does not require any action under guarantee. To avoid such cases and/or minimize the
impact, you may observe the tips below.
7
Do not allow the same TV channel to stay on
the screen for a very long time. Channel logos
may cause this situation.
7
Do not allow the images, which are not full
screen, to constantly stay on the screen; if not
streamed in full screen format by the broadcaster, you can convert the images to full
screen by changing picture formats.
7
Higher brightness and/or contrast values will
lead this impact to appear faster; therefore,
you are recommended to watch your TV in the
lowest brightness and contrast levels.
