Notes on Safety and Setting Up
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 and Setting Up
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.
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).
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 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 follow-ing 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.
Switching the TV Set On/Off
Press the
¢
IO

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 user guide.
The signs ɦ, ɼ,
ʺʺ, ɶɶ
are symbols for the following buttons
on the remote control handset:
ʺʺ, ɶɶ
= programme selection buttons | and ]
ɦ, ɼ = volume x and c
OK = O button
In the following text, the remote control buttons instead of the symbols will be shown.
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.
After pressing the O button, 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 a video recorder equipped with the MEGALOGIC functions is connected to this TV set (the connection must be made via the EURO-AV sockets – socket AV2 on the TV set – with a fully wired EURO-AV cable), the display shown opposite will appear. It is then possible to select between the functions ”MEGALOGIC Upload” and ”ATS”.

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.

Transfer of the TV stations table from the video recorder to the tele­vion set.
The TV set is provided with the MEGA­LOGIC system. In connection with a video recorder which is provided with the same system, operation of the two sets be­comes very convenient. It is possible to transfer the data of the programme positions (stored channels) from the video recorder to the TV set. The ATS search function then is no longer necessary. After transferring the data, you can immediately watch TV and simul­taneously record the programme on the video recorder. For this, the TV set (socket AV2) and the video recorder (Euro-AV socket) must be connected by means of a Euro-AV cable (all pins used). During data transfer, the message ”Transfer of VCR stations table” as well as the programme position number and the station name are displayed. When data transfer is completed, the stations table is displayed on the picture screen.
