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 possi-

ble 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 lead can be obtained from your dealer.

Notes on Safety and Installation

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 TV receiver is provided with a Megatron-picture tube with a special surface layer.

This has the advantage of an antistatic effect, i.e. the surface does not attract dust particles.

When the set is switched on, static charges of the picture screen are avoided to a large degree by the special surface layer.

Clean the picture screen of your TV set only with a moistened soft cloth. Use clear and clean water only. When cleaning the picture screen, do not apply pressure (abrasion, scratches).

Do not stick labels of any kind onto the picture screen.

Tuning TV Channels (allocating channel positions)

This TV set can reproduce programmes which are transmitted with different sound and colour standards (also from satellites, cable TV systems, video recorders; amongst others, in the standards PAL, SECAM, NICAM)

NICAM is a new method to transmit the sound from the TV station to the television receiver.

For NICAM broadcasts, see the table "NICAM Digital Stereo"

TV stations transmit their programmes on different channels. e.g. the German TV station Dillberg transmits the "First Programme" (ARD) on channel 6.

These channels must be allocated to the channel positions of the TV set.

The adjustments required for this must only be carried out when setting up the TV set the first time or when the reception conditions have changed (e.g. in the case of relocation or connection to a cable TV system).

Information about the channel/special channel numbers and TV standards can be obtained from your post office, your specialised dealer, or our after-sales service stations.

There are different methods possible to allocate TV channels to the channel positions of the TV set:

With the automatic channel search ATS (Auto Tuning System) This method is recommended if you do not know the channel numbers of the stations which are broadcasting the respective TV channels. You can also sort channel positions and add the station identification.

or or

1st possibility

By entering the channel numbers in the menu. In this case it is possible to enter the station identification and to prepare channel positions for descrambler operation. In the menu, it is also possible to select the TV standard (Standard) and to perform fine tuning.

2nd possibility

By directly entering the channel numbers. This method is recommended if you know the channel numbers.

3rd possibility

It is sufficient to use just one of the channel allocation methods. If you have decided on the method of your choice, leave the remaining methods out of consideration.

Volume

If the factory preset volume is too low or too high, adjust the volume to the desired level with the

buttons of the

remote control handset.

Switching on

Switch on the TV set with the mains switch IO 1.

Channel position 1 is selected automatically. On the picture screen, the indication P1 and a station identification (if programmed) are displayed briefly.
