SETUP AND SAFETY
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
(min 10 cm).
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 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
7
Do not connect any other equipment while the
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
To avoid safety problems arising from the batteries used with the product, follow the instructions below.
7
In case of misplacement of batteries, they may
cause explosion due to short circuit.
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
To avoid environmental health problems arising from the product, batteries and accessories.
7
Make sure the mains plug is freely accessible.
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.

GENERAL INFORMATION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Special features of your
television set
7
You 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.
7
Although 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.
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 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-T and DVBC). 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.

ENGLISH
GENERAL INFORMATION
Important notes on
environmental protection
7
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
As switching off the television set does not
completely disconnect it from the mains, pull
out the plug to disconnect it from the mains
completely.
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.
