About your TV set
7
With your TV set, you can receive and watch
digital TV programmes over DVB-S, DVB-T
and DVB-C, along with analogue TV.
7
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
7
The TV set is designed for use in dry rooms.
7
Use the TV set with the supplied stand or
a suitable VESA bracket.
7
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.

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:
7
Only use the manufacturer’s recommended
cabinets or stands.
7
Only use furniture that can safely support the
TV set.
7
Make sure that the TV set does not protrude
beyond the dimensions of the furniture on
which it is resting.
7
Do not place the TV set on tall furniture (such
as kitchen cabinets, bookshelves) without
securely anchoring the furniture and TV set.
7
Do not place the TV set on fabric or other
materials located between the TV set and
furniture.
7
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
7
Do not place the TV set next to heating units
or in direct sunlight.
7
To ensure adequate ventilation, maintain
clearance of at least 10 cm around the TV set.
Discolouration of furniture due to rubber feet
7
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
7
Do not dispose of batteries in
stores or public collection points. You help to
protect the environment in this way.

for your product separately according to the
guidelines of local authorities so that they
can be recycled in an environmentally safe
manner.
7
If you are not using your TV set for a while,
turn it to standby mode. In standby mode, the
TV set uses very little energy (≤ 0.5 W).
If you do not use the TV set for an extended
period, turn it off with the power switch or
unplug the power cord from the socket. If you
turn off the device or disconnect it from the
power supply, the switch-on timer and programmed recordings will not work.

GENERAL INFORMATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Special features of your TV
7
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 2012), 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).
7
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.
7
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
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, 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
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.
ENGLISH

GENERAL INFORMATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Important notes on environmental protection
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.

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.
7
»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.
7
»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).
7
»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.
7
»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.
7
»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
7
»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).
7
»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.
7
»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.
7
»Backlight« – Manual setting for back lighting (only active if dynamic back lighting is
switched to “OFF”). This setting also directly
impacts power consumption.
