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 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 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 Setting Up

Television stations broadcast programmes on different channels. For example, Dillberg station broadcasts ARD (the 1st state channel in Germany) on channel 6. The channels must be assigned to the channel positions of your 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 subsequently connected to a cable television source).

By pressing the P

button, select the ATS line from the menu

and press OK to confirm.

The ATS page appears.

Starting ATS

Press the OK button, ATS starts and the channel search begins at C01 and stops

wherever a station is broadcasting, regardless of the reception picture quality. Channel position P1 is automatically selected.

Storing channels

Only store the channel numbers of those channels with good picture quality. To do so, press the OK button.

If you find a channel with poor picture quality, restart the automatic channel search by pressing the P+ button.

– Once the channel number is stored, channel position P2 is

automatically called up. The channel search continues until the next channel is found. In this way you can store all further channels.
