P

When setting up your television, select a location where as
little light as possible falls on the screen.

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

If the television is to be built into a compartment or similarly
enclosed, minimum distances must be maintained.

Do not cover the ventilation openings on the back.

The heat exchange inside the unit generates an air circulation.
which attracts dust particles (carpet and curtain fibres and
home dust). These particles accumulate inside the ventilation
slots obstructing these over the years and causing a build-up
of heat.

Heat build-up can reduce the service life of your television,
and can also be dangerous.

For your own safety, let remove the dust deposits by a spe­cialist from time to time.

Never set up speakers next to the unit.

When setting up and using this unit, please make sure that
the mains connection wire is free and not jammed in order to
avoid damage.

Never place the television near heat sources.
Even if your television is switched off, it can still be damaged
by lightning striking the mains and/or aerial cables.
For this reason, you should always disconnect your television
from the mains and the aerial system during thunderstorms.

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

Connecting the Unit

Connecting the unit to the aerial

Plug the aerial cable into the aerial socket É on the unit.

Connecting the unit to the mains

Plug the mains cable into the wall socket.

Connecting and Setting Up

Inserting Batteries into the Remote
Control Handset

Remove the battery compartment cover by pressing on the
catch and then removing the cover.

Insert the battery supplied. Make sure it is inserted correctly
(note the markings in the battery compartment).

Switching the Unit On and Off

Press the

¢

IO

button on the television.

If you do not use the televison for extended periods of
time (e.g., at night), turn it off with this button.
This helps you to save energy.

When the battery is dead, the following display appears on
the screen: "Battery Telepilot".
Dead batteries must be removed immediately.
We assume no responsibility for damage resulting from
battery leakage.
Dead batteries should be disposed of properly (environ­mental protection).

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 Safety Standard Approved 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
othe 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.

The Automatic Tuning System "ATS euro plus"

After switching on the television set, the "ATS euro plus" page
appears.
If this page does not appear, press and hold down the mbut­ton until the "ATS euro plus" page appears on the screen.
The dialogue lines at the bottom of the screen are used as

Assigning Channel Positions

You can choose between several lan­guages for the on-screen dialogue with
your television. After you select a lan­guage, all menu guide messages and
information will appear in the language
you selected.
German is preset at the factory.

The "ATS euro plus channel search" is
started.
The television searches for all available
channels, sorts, and stores them.
This procedure can take one minute or
more, depending on the number of
channels that can be received.
When the search procedure is com­pleted, the TV picture received on the
first channel position will be shown.

If you can receive channels in the
SECAM L NICAM colour standard,
observe the information given on page

12.

Your television is equipped with "ATS euro plus" (Auto Tuning
System). This new system offers you the advantage of auto­matic channel position assignment.
This search and memory system scans the entire reception
range, stores the channels found, and enters them with their
respective station name (abbreviation) into a TV station table.

You can change the automatic

channel position assignment
as you wish. For example, for channels without identification,
you can choose a name (station name) in a list of abbrevia­tions displayed on the screen and assign it the channel.

Teletext Mode

General

Teletext is an additional information that is broadcast by the
TV station along with your TV programme.

The built-in Teletext decoder of your set enables you to dis­play this additional information on the screen.

Teletext is transmitted in the form of texts or graphic repre­senta-tions, or as subtitles to the TV programme.

The latter is intended to help the hard of hearing.

By means of information pages and dialogue lines, Teletext
operation is made very easy. The indication in the dialogue
lines denote the functions with the allocated buttons to use.

TOP/FLOF-Teletext

TOP (Table of Pages) and FLOF (Full Level One Features)
are new methods for quick and easy selection of Teletext
pages.
Using TOP and FLOF you can select Teletext pages without
knowing the page numbers. This is possible since all Teletext
pages are transmitted ordered according to topics - also cal­led blocks - as if they were in a "filing box".
For example, the latest news are grouped in the block "Actua­lities". Further topics are for example the blocks "Sports", "TV
Programmes" and "Service". In the case of TOP Teletext, the
blocks are subdivided into several groups, eg: "Actualities"
into the groups politics, economics, culture, etc. Within the
groups you will find the normal Teletext pages.
With the help of the user’s guide on the picture screen, Tele­text operation is very simple and fool-proof. A coloured com­mand line is visible on the bottom edge of the screen. The
shown colours are the same as those on the remote control
handset. In the case of TOP operation, the yellow field deno­tes the selected block and the following group. The blue field
indicates the next block.

Service note for the dealer

This unit conforms to VDE safety regulations and directives
of the Deutsche Bundespost (German Federal Post Office; see
certification mark on the type sticker on the rear of the unit),
as well as all relevant ordinances governing X-ray emissions.
The picture tube, which emits X-rays, is sufficiently shielded
and therefore represents no danger. Accelerating voltage is
max. 27kV with a mean beam current of 1.5mA.

Unauthorized tampering with the unit, in particular making
adjustments to the high voltage system, or installing a dif­ferent picture tube, can considerably increase X-ray emissi­ons. Units so altered no longer conform to applicable safety
regulations and may not be operated.

Subject to alterations.
