Notes on Safety and Installation

I

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

¢

IO

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).

Sound (stereo, two-channel sound, mono)

If your television is able to receive two-channel sound trans­missions, for example when a film is broadcast in the original
sound track on sound channel A2 (Mono B or NICAM B), and
the synchronized version on sound channel A1 (Mono A or
NICAM A), you can select the version you want to hear (indi­cation: Mono or NICAM).

Your television automatically switches to stereo if the pro­gramme is transmitted in stereo (indication: Stereo).

If stereo reception is poor, you can switch to "Mono" and thus
improve the sound quality (see example).

Example: To switch from "Stereo" to "Mono", highlight the
"Sound" function with the |or

]

button, then select

"Mono" with the

c

button.
If you wish to always receive a channel in mono, enter ",MO"
from the fourth position of the the station name on, for exam­ple, "ARD,MO" (see "Changing or renaming a station name" on
page 10).
If you can receive TV programmes in the SECAM L NICAM
colour standard, make sure that one of the indications
NICAM A, NICAM B, NICAM Stereo or NICAM is shown in the
"Sound" line of the Audio menu.
If this should not be the case, check whether the SECAM L
NICAM standard has been set on the programme position
concerned.
To do this, quit the Audio menu and call up the data of the
programme position to be checked by pressing the

m

but­ton.
If you wish to assign a different TV standard to this pro­gramme position, follow the example given on page 7 in the
chapter "Assigning Channel Positions Manually".

Important Information

This system has been developed to allow you to enjoy the
dramatic realism and impact of multi-channel Dolby movie
theater sound in your own home.
The Dolby Surround Pro Logic signal comprises:
Stereo channel (right/left)
Centre channel
Surround channel
With Dolby Surround, the sound created by the conventional
stereo channels (right/left) is improved by an additional
centre channel which makes it possible to precisely locate the
origin of the individual tones.
This centre channel fixes the voices (dialogues) in the sound
centre (corresponding to the picture).
The Surround channel (also called back channel) completes
the sound system. Two additional loudspeakers which are
located behind the listener create the actual "Surround"
sound, that is the realistic sound atmosphere (depth of
space, special effect sounds). The listener is "placed inside
the action".
With the Dolby Surround Pro Logic system, the sound/pic­ture sources can be laser discs, video cassettes, and tele­vision broadcasts.

Loudspeaker Systems for
Dolby Surround Pro Logic

To get the optimum sound quality from the Dolby Surround
Pro Logic system, two Surround speaker boxes and two front
boxes or two Surround boxes and one centre box are requi­red.

1. Loudspeakers with Dolby Surround Pro Logic

The front boxes should be placed at a distance of approx.

1.5 m from the television.

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.

The blue button of the remote control handset is used to
advance from one block to the other, the yellow button is
used to go from one group to the next, and the green button
is used to go to the next page. To return to the page the red
button is used.

In the case of FLOF operation, a choice of subjects appears in
coloured characters. The required subject is selected by pres­sing the corresponding coloured button on the remote con­trol.

In this way, TOP and FLOF lead you quickly, easily, and sure­ly to the goal - the desired Teletext page.
If no TOP or FLOF Teletext is transmitted by the station, a red
colour bar with a - and a green colour bar with a + will
appear in the commentary line.

Note

If the aerial signal is poor, eg: noisy, it may happen that the
Teletext pages are not correctly reproduced. - If fine tuning
on the TV set brings no improvement, we recommend you to
let check your aerial system by a specialist.

What you should know

For the Teletext mode "Top", additional information is re­quired from the TV station. - For this reason, after having
switched on the TV set or after having changed the program­me, please wait some moments until the GRUNDIG Top
decoder has read the data into its memory and all of the infor­mation is at your disposal.

By pressing the button

, you can immediately return from

each operating mode back to normal TV operation.

Please observe the currently displayed user’s guide with the
dialogue lines on the bottom edge of the picture screen.

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.

example, a computer or amplifier), your dealer can provide
you with a normed standard connection by means of the fol­lowing table:
