SET-UP AND SAFETY ------------------------------------------------------------

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 su cient 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 television set is switched o , 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 di cult or impossible to remove.

4

SET-UP AND SAFETY ------------------------------------------------------------

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 o 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.

GENERAL INFORMATION----------------------------------------

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.

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 television 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 di erent positions until you get the best reception.

2Plug the mains cable supplied into the »AC IN« mains socket of the television.

3Plug 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.

ENGLISH

7

CONNECTION/PREPARATION ----------------------

Inserting batteries in the remote control

1 Open the battery compartment by removing the lid.

2Insert the batteries (3 x 1.5 V micro for example R03 or AAA). Observe the polarity (marked on the base of the battery compartment).

3 Close the battery compartment.

Note:

If the television no longer reacts properly to remote control commands, the batteries may be flat. Be sure to remove used batteries.

The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage resulting from used batteries.

Environmental note

Batteries, including those which contain no heavy metal, may not be disposed of with household waste. Please dispose of used batteries in an environmentally sound manner. Find out about the legal regulations which apply in your area.
