SET-UP AND SAFETY

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

About your TV set

With your TV set, you can receive and watch

digital TV programmes over DVB-S, DVB-T and DVB-C, along with analogue TV.

The TV set can record programmes. For this feature you need a USB storage device, such as an external hard drive (not included). Recorded programmes can only be played on the same TV set. After the TV st is repaired, it is possible that recorded programmes may no longer be able to be played back.

Intended use

The TV set is designed for use in dry rooms.

Use the TV set with the supplied stand or

a suitable VESA bracket.

The TV set is primarily intended for the play-

back of TV programmes, streaming content and audio/video material from external devices. Any other use is strictly prohibited.

It is not intended as an information display or

for predominant use as a computer monitor. If a still image or a non-full-format image is displayed for an extended period, visible traces may remain on the screen for some time.

This is not a defect that can be used as the

basis for a warranty claim.

Safety

WARNING

Risk of electrical accident

Do not open the TV set. Safety risk may arise

and also the guarantee of the product can be void if the television set is opened.

The TV set can only be operated with the

power cable or the AC/DC adapter supplied with the product.

SET-UP AND SAFETY

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WARNING

Injuries caused by falling TV set

Never place the TV set on an unstable surface. The TV set may fall, causing serious injury, possibly leading to death in isolated cases.

Observe the following precautions:

Only use the manufacturer’s recommended

cabinets or stands.

Only use furniture that can safely support the

TV set.

Make sure that the TV set does not protrude

beyond the dimensions of the furniture on which it is resting.

Do not place the TV set on tall furniture (such

as kitchen cabinets, bookshelves) without securely anchoring the furniture and TV set.

Do not place the TV set on fabric or other

materials located between the TV set and furniture.

Instruct children that there is danger associ-

ated with climbing on furniture when the TV set is to be reached.

NOTICE

Shortened service life due to high operating temperature

Do not place the TV set next to heating units

or in direct sunlight.

To ensure adequate ventilation, maintain

clearance of at least 10 cm around the TV set.

Discolouration of furniture due to rubber feet

Some furniture surfaces may discolour when

they come in contact with rubber. To protect furniture, you can place a sheet made of glass or plastic under the stand. Do not use textile underlays or mats such as doilies.

Environmental information

Do not dispose of batteries in

stores or public collection points. You help to protect the environment in this way.

ENGLISH

GENERAL INFORMATION

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Special features of your TV

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.

Although this television set complies with the current DVB-S/S2, DVB-T and DVB-C standards (status: August 2012), the compatibility with future DVB-S/S2 satellite transmissions as well as terrestrial DVB-T and DVB-C cable programmes cannot be guaranteed.

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.

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.

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).

Using the time shift function, you can quickly and easily pause a programme using the remote control and resume it at a later stage. The programme is recorded in an external data medium.

You can record any digital TV channels you choose.

The TV channels are converted by the television and saved on an external data medium which is connected to the USB socket. The saved programmes can be called up and played from the archive on the external data medium at any time. You can also play a programme from the archive while recording another.

More information on recording and playing

TV programmes can be found from page 34.

Receiving digital channels

You require a satellite antenna to receive digital satellite channels (DVB-S/S2).

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).

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.

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.

Various digital television channels from private broadcasters are encrypted (DVB-S/S2, DVBT 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.

Grundig SCR system

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.

ENGLISH

GENERAL INFORMATION

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Important notes on environmental protection

The following information will help you to save resources – and money as well.

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.

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.

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).

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.

Do not allow the same TV channel to stay on the screen for a very long time. Channel logos may cause this situation.

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.

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.

INITIAL SET-UP

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Initial set-up and tuning channels

The television set is equipped with automatic channel search, which searches for satellite channels (DVB-S/S2), terrestrial channels (DVBT), cable channels (DVB-C) and analogue channels.

You start the search and the channels will be stored into the different Program Tables. Following, you can sort the channels in the Program Tables.

The various settings

Depending on the type of antenna connected, you can decide which channels you would like the television to search for.

DVB-S/S2 – Tunes digital channels from the

satellite, from page 18.

You have two options for this search:

–

the basic installation which presets a standard selection, e.g. the satellite Astra 19.2° East; you need only start the search;

–

the professional installation, which allows you to make all required settings and set parameters for your receiver system.

Advanced picture settings

The “advanced picture settings” are in principal digital image improvements which, however, should be only used when necessary when picture quality and transmission is excellent. They may well improve the display with poor material, but may adversely affect the display where transmission and picture quality are excellent.

»Nois Reduction« – Reduces the visible snow by displaying the picture a little less sharply and creating a slight blurring. Should therefore be used minimally with good picture material.

»Block Noise Reduction« – This function can only be selected with digital reception sources and AV presets. It reduces any interference from artefacts (pixel blocks) from digital programmes due to MPEG compression (such as from DVB-T receivers and lower transmission rates or DVD players).

»Vibrant Colour« – Increases the colour contrast and the contrast adjustment. This setting is mostly too strong for use with normal pictures and should only be used where necessary (low or off) otherwise nuances in the image can be suppressed.

»Perfect Clear« – Improves the general image by means of a gentle blue hue (giving the appearance of greater sharpness) and improves the black level by setting this entirely to black from specific shade of back. This reduces the visible grey values in the dark areas of the picture.

»Film mode« detects and processes feature films automatically for all channel sources. This means you will always receive an optimal picture. This functions in the modi 480i, 576i and 1080i in TV playback and for other channel sources. If the »Film mode« is switched on for programmes without a feature film signal, minor problems such as picture freeze, defective subtitles or fine lines in the picture could occur.

ENGLISH

PICTURE /SOUND SETTINGS

»Gamma« – This setting establishes which brightness value should be displayed for which digital transmission value. Most recordings are transmitted with a gamma value of 2.2 (all Windows PCs and newer PCs with a MAC operating system work with this, older MAC systems and transmissions without colour profile mostly operate with a gamma value of 1.8).

»Dynamic Contrast« – The function dynamically and optimally adjusts the contrast for the respective picture content by analysing images and then altering this depending in a change in contrast. This increase the contract, however may also reduce the visible brightness levels in the picture.

»Dynamic Backlight« – Here the device optimally adjusts the back lighting for the picture content by regulating the back lighting depending on the average picture brightness. If a picture has predominately dark areas, then the black level displayed is improved by downward adjustment of the back lighting (in this case the display of the dark areas is improved), and with predominantly bright picture material the back lighting is maximised in order to display these areas more brightly.

»Backlight« – Manual setting for back lighting (only active if dynamic back lighting is switched to “OFF”). This setting also directly impacts power consumption.
