SETUP AND SAFETY

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

Please note the following instructions when setting up the television set:

This television is designed to receive and display video and audio signals.

All other uses are expressly prohibited.

The ideal viewing distance is five times the diagonal screen size.

Light falling on the screen impairs picture quality.

To ensure the device is always adequately ventilated, make sure there is sufficient space between the television set and nearby furniture.

The 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.

Do not place any vessels such as vases on the television, as they may spill liquid, thus presenting a safety risk.

Place the television on a hard, level surface.

Do not place any objects such as newspapers on the television or put cloth or similar items under it.

Do not place the television close to heating units or in direct sunlight, as this will impair cooling.

Heat 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.

Never open the television 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.

Only operate the television with the power supply/power cord provided.

Thunderstorms 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.

Use a damp, soft cloth to clean the screen. Do not use water with soap or detergent.

Only clean the housing of your television set with the cloth provided. Do not use water with soap or detergent.

When 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.

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.

To ensure fires do not occur, always keep candles and other open flames away from the device.

ENGLISH

SETUP AND SAFETY

Do not connect any other equipment while the

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

device is switched on. Also switch off other equipment before connecting it.

Do not plug in the power cord of the device until you have connected the external equipment and the antenna.

Make sure the mains plug is freely accessible.

Caution:

If you plan on using a wall bracket for your

television, make sure you read the assembly manual for the wall bracket or have a specialist assemble it.

When purchasing the wall bracket, make

sure that all the fastening points on the television are also on the wall bracket and that they are all used when mounting it.

ENGLISH

GENERAL INFORMATION

Special features of your television set

You can receive and watch digital TV channels using your television set (via DVB-S, DVB-T and DVBC) – 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, 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.

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.

Your Grundig television and 3D shutter 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 supplied with your television.

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 on page 35.

DLNA feature allows you to use a wired or wireless (with WiFi USB dongle) 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).

Devices 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.

You can also listen to the internet radios with vTuner feature, provided that the local network to which your television is connected can connect to internet.

ENGLISH

GENERAL INFORMATION

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

Receiving digital channels

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

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, 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 pub-

lic 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.

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.

As switching off the television set does not completely disconnect it from the mains, pull out the plug to disconnect it from the mains completely.

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 low 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.

ENGLISH

Notes:

You can only select the »Mpeg NR« function

on digital and AV presets. »Mpeg NR« reduces any interference from

artefacts (pixel blocks) from digital programmes due to MPEG compression (such as from DVB-T receivers or DVD players).

The »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 pro-

grammes without a feature film signal, minor problems such as picture freeze, defective subtitles or fine lines in the picture could occur.

The function »Dynamic Contrast« adapts the

contrast dynamically and optimally for the respective picture content.

With »Dynamic Backlight«, the device opti-

mally adapts the background lighting to the picture content.

The »Backlight« can only be set manually

when the function »Dynamic Backlight« is deactivated.

»MEMC« (Motion Estimation, Motion

Compensation) ensures a smooth picture display for movements and camera pans. MEMC feature is not supported in 3D mode.
