Additional Information for Units sold in Great Britain

Units sold in GB are suitable for operation from a 240 V AC, 50 Hz mains supply.

In case this appliance is supplied with a Safet

y Standard

pproved mains lead fitted with a non-rewireable 13 Amp mains plug which, if unsuitable for your socket, should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted by a qualified electrician. The fuse and fuse holder must be removed from the plug as accidental insertion of the redundant plug into a 13 Amp socket is likely to cause an electrical hazard.

Note: The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible

shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

If it is necessary to change the fuse in the non-rewireable plug, the correct type and rating (5 Amp ASTA or BSI approved BS 1362) must be used and the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged the lead and plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained. Replacement fuse covers should be obtained from your dealer.

If a non-rewireable plug or a rewireable 13 Amp (BS 1363) plug is used, it must be fitted with a 5 Amp ASTA or BSI approved BS 1362 fuse. If any other type of plug is used it must be protected by a 5 Amp fuse either in the plug or at the distribution board.

Important: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: BLUE – NEUTRAL BROWN – LIVE As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance may not correspond with the coloured marking identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: Connect the BLUE coloured wire to plug terminal marked with the letter "N" or coloured black. Connect the BROWN coloured wire to the plug terminal marked with a letter "L" or coloured red. In no circumstance must any of the wires be connected to the terminal marked with a letter "E", earth symbol , coloured green or green and yellow.

Replacement mains leads can be obtained from your dealer.

Safety Instructions and Setting Up

The ideal viewing distance is five times the diagonal width of the screen. See illustration.

Switch the television off with the mains switch

1 if you are

not watching it for a longer period of time (e.g., night).

This saves energy.

The unit can also be damaged even when it is turned off if lightning strikes the power supply system and/or the aerial cable.

For this reason, you should always disconnect your television from the mains plug and the aerial plug during thunderstorms.

Never expose the unit to moisture. Do not insert foreign objects into the ventilation openings on the back. Caution! High voltage!

The remote control is the central control unit for your television set. All operational functions and basic settings are carried out with the remote control.

Insert the battery supplied. Note the markings inside the battery compartment! Close the cover. When the battery is dead, "BATTERY TELEPILOT" appears on the screen.

The Remote Control

Replace weak batteries promptly. We cannot assume liability for damages which may result from damaged batteries.

The remote control is supplied with stickers on which you can note down the assignment of the channel positions. At the back of the remote control there is a recess for attaching a sticker.

Assigning Channel Positions

Assigning channel positions for television channels

Different television stations broadcast programmmes on different channels. For example, the television station Dillberg (in the Nürnberg area) broadcasts the first programme (ARD) on channel 6.

These channels must be assigned to channel ("programme") positions in the television.

It is only necessary to make these settings once when you set up your television for the first time or if reception conditions change (for example, if you move to another location or if you are connected to a cable TV system at a later date).

In addition to the 49 channel positions, the programme positions AV1, AV2 and AV3 are available.

Your television can receive channels from television stations (as well as from satellites, cable television networks, and video recorders) which broadcast in the colour norm PAL-BG.

Television channels can be assigned channel positions with the automatic channel search function (ATS euro plus = Auto Tuning System).

A special feature of this new system is the automatic station programming function. This so-called station memory system scans the entire reception range, stores the channels found, and enters them into a table with their respective station identification abbreviations.

The channels found are then evaluated according to the quality of reception. This means that those channels with poor reception quality are entered at the end of the table. In this way, only channels with good picture quality are assigned to the beginning of the table. The search procedure is accompanied by helpful information in the form of a channel number. During the search procedure, the channels, which can be called up later, are sorted according to language and country and read into the TV station table. In this table, you can arrange the automatically assigned channels (without their station identification) according to your specific needs and give them a name of your choice or their respective station identification abbreviation.

Switching on

Switch the televison on with the mains switch 1 .

The start menu "ATS euro plus" will be displayed.

If this menu does not appear, you can call it up by pressing the

button (for approx. 4 seconds).

At the bottom of the displayed menu, as with all other displays, there is a dialogue line consisting of words and symbols. These symbols correspond to the symbols on the buttons of the remote control handset.

The symbols

∨, ∧, <, > designate the following buttons:

∨, ∧ = programme select buttons

and

<, > = volume

and c.

Only the symbols (buttons) actually shown on the screen can be used to call up functions. This system is called on-screen user guide and is referred to in the following sections when required.

Selecting a language and location (country)

For the dialogue with your television, you can select between several languages. After having made a choice, all displays will be in this language.

German is preset at the factory.
