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.

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/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.

General information---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Special features of your television­ set

7You can receive and watch digital TV channels using your television set (via DVB-S, 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-S, DVB-T and DVB-C standards (status: August 2010), the compatibility with future­ DVB-S 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.

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).

7Your Grundig television and 3D glasses can provide the reality of the cinema when you watch 3D movies in your home.

This TV uses state-of-the-art LED technology to give you the best experience 3D has to offer. To join the 3D world, you just need to put on the Grundig 3D glasses.

7Using 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.

7You 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 51.

7Smart Inter@ctive TV 2.0 feature provides your TV with Internet applications when your TV is connected to Internet. You can surf through the web pages, visit popular video and photo sharing sites as well as social networks with these applications.

7Wireless USB keyboard and mouse support in the web browser application facilitates surfing through the internet pages for the user.

7DLNA feature allows you to use a wired or wireless local network to access your content that were recorded with DLNA compatible devices we use at our daily lives such as a PC, mobile phone or NAS (Network Attached Storage) which are operated as DMS (Digital Medial Server). Thanks to DMR feature, when DLNA application has been started, you can automatically start and stop media playing on devices with DMC feature.

7Devices that contain and serve video, music or image files are called Server. This television receives video, music and image files from the server through home network, allowing you to access and play such media even when your television is located in a different room then the server. A DLNA compatible device such as a PC, mobile phone, NAS or a NAS-like (Network attached storage) device which operates as a DMS (Digital Media Server) is required in order to use home network.

­6 ENGLISH

General information---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Receiving digital channels

7You require a satellite antenna to receive digital­ satellite channels (DVB-S).

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-S, 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.

Grundig SCR system

7Your 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.

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.

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.

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.

7Do not allow the same TV channel to stay on the screen for a very long time. Channel logos may cause this situation.

7Do 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.

7Higher 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.

3D FUNCTION-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Important information about the 3D function

7Keep a sufficient distance from the television. The optimum distance is three times the height of the screen. Watching 3D films from a close distance for a long time could impair your vision.

7Never use the 3D function for longer than 3 hours without a break.

7It is essential that you supervise children watching a 3D programme to prevent damage to their health. Children under 6 years should not watch 3D content because their spatial vision is not yet completely developed.

7Do not use the 3D function if you are anxious, sleepy or overtired.

7If you or a member of your family suffers with epilepsy, you should consult your doctor before watching 3D films.

7If, when watching a 3D film, your vision becomes impaired, you feel dizzy or nauseous, your eyes hurt, you have muscle spasms or have difficulty in concentrating, you must stop watching immediately.

73D images can startle the viewer. We recommend that elderly persons, pregnant women and persons with serious physical complaints avoid watching 3D content.

7Do not use the 3D glasses for other purposes, for example as sunglasses or protective glasses, as this may impair your sight.

Preparing the 3D function

Your Grundig television and 3D glasses can provide the reality of the cinema when you watch 3D movies in your home.

This TV uses state-of-the-art LED technology to give you the best experience 3D has to offer.

To join 3D world, you just need to put on the Grundig 3D glasses.

Note:

7GRUNDIG 3D Glasses supplied with the product are inactive 3D glasses. Inactive 3D glasses are also sold separately. Please contact your dealer from where you have purchased your TV to obtain more information about purchasing.

7The 3D experience depends on the format and features of the movie (resolution, sharpness etc.) being played.

7If 3D mode is activated for a picture which is not in 3D, the picture on the screen may appear blurry both with or without the 3D glasses.

7The 3D effect may degrade if you watch 3D images under fluorescent light. In such cases, either reduce the light or turn off the lamp.
