52 Additional Information for units sold in the UK.
Please note the following information when setting up your television
set.
This television set is designed to receive and display video and audio
signals.
Any other use is expressly prohibited.
External light falling on the screen impairs picture quality.
To assure sufficient ventilation make sure there is enough space
around it in the wall unit.
The television set is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it in
the open, please ensure that it is protected from moisture, such as
rain or splashing water. Do not expose the television set to any moisture.
Do not place any vessels such as vases on the television, as they may
spill liquid, thus presenting a safety risk.
Place the television set on a solid, level surface. Do not place any
objects such as newspapers on the television set or cloth or similar
items beneath it.
Do not place the television set close to heating units or in direct sunlight, as this will impair cooling.
Heat build-up can be dangerous and shortens the operating life of
the television set. For reasons of safety, have a specialist remove any
dirt deposits in the set from time to time.
Do not open the television set under any circumstances. Warranty
claims are excluded for damage resulting from improper handling.
Make sure the power cord or the power supply unit (if provided) are
not damaged.
The television set may only be operated with the mains cable/
adapter supplied.
Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the
tele vision set is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike
to the mains or the antenna cable. Always disconnect the mains and
antenna plugs during a storm.
Clean the screen with a soft, damp cloth. Only use plain water.
Please note when deciding where to put the device that furniture
surfaces are covered by various types of lacquer and plastic, most
of which contain chemical additives. These may cause corrosion to
the feet of the device, thus resulting in stains on the surface of the
furniture which can be difficult or impossible to remove.
SET-UP AND SAFETY
------------------------------------------------------------
4
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.
Notes:
Do not connect any other equipment while the device is switched
on. Switch off the other equipment as well before connecting it.
Only plug the device into the mains socket after you have connected the external devices and the antenna.
Make sure the power plug is freely accessible.
Caution:
If you want to use a wall bracket for your television, make sure
you read the assembly instructions for the wall bracket carefully
or have your specialist dealer mount it for you.
When buying the wall bracket, make sure that all the fastening
points needed on the television are there on the wall bracket and
that they are all used when it is mounted.

Special features of your television
Your television set enables you to receive and watch digital stations
(via DVB-T), including in High Definition (HD).
At present, reception for these digital television stations in High Definition is only possible in some countries in Europe.
This television can receive and process all analogue and all
unencrypted digital stations. This television set has an integrated
digital and analogue receiver. The digital receiver unit converts the
signals from digital stations to provide outstanding audio and picture
quality.
The TV guide (only for digital stations) tells you of any schedule
changes at short notice, and provides an overview of all the stations’
schedules for the next few days.
Detailed information on the individual stations – if it is provided by
the broadcaster – is also available in the electronic programme
guide.
You can connect various data media, for example, an external hard
drive, a USM memory stick or a digital camera to the USB socket.
Using the file browser, you can then select and play the file formats
you want (for example, MP4, MP3 or JPEG data).
Receiving digital stations
To receive digital stations you need a digital rooftop or indoor antenna (passive or active indoor antenna with its own power supply).
Unlike analogue broadcasting, not every station has its own transmission frequency. Instead, several stations 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 look in a TV guide or on the Internet.
What is Common Interface?
Common Interface (CI) is an interface for DVB receivers.
Encoded stations can only be viewed with a CA module suitable for
the encoding system and the corresponding smart card.
The television set is equipped with a Common Interface slot into
which CA modules from various providers can be inserted.
You can insert the provider’s smart card into the CA module in order
to enable the encrypted stations you want to see.

CONNECTION/PREPARATION
----------------------
Connecting the antenna and the mains cable
1 Plug the cable of the rooftop or indoor antenna (passive or
active indoor antenna with its own power supply for digital television stations) into the antenna socket »
ANT IN« on the tele -
vision set;
or
plug the rooftop antenna cable (for analogue television stations)
into the »
ANT IN« socket on the television.
Note:
When connecting an indoor antenna you may have to try it out
at different positions until you get the best reception.
2 Plug the mains cable supplied into the »AC IN« mains socket of
the television.
3 Plug the mains cable into the wall socket.
Note:
Only plug the device into the mains socket after you have
connected the external devices and the antenna.
Only connect the television using the power cord supplied to a
suitable earthed safety socket.
Do not use an adapter plug or extension lead which does not
meet the applicable safety standards. Do not tamper with the
power cord.
