Notes on Safety and Installation

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 lead 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 Television

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 the Battery 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 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.

Switching the Unit On and Off

Press the

button on the television.

If you do not use the televison for extended periods of time (e.g., at night), press this button to turn the televison off. 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).

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.

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.

If you are in doubt, consult your specialized dealer.

Transfer of the TV stations table from the video recorder to the television 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 channel 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 channel position number and the station name are displayed. When data transfer is completed, the picture received on channel position 1 is visible on the picture screen.
