Safety and setting up

Please avoid …

… external light falling on the screen. The ideal viewing distance is 5x screen diagonal.

… lightning damage by disconnecting the mains and aerial cables. Even when the set has been switched off, damage can occur due to lighting strikes conducted by the mains and/or the aerial cables.

… that the ventilation slits become obstructed.

… spacing too small around the cabinet walls in

respect of the surroundings.

… damage to mains cable.

… magnetic fields (loudspeaker boxes) near the set.

… friction and scratches on the screen.

Only clean the screen with a damp, soft cloth. Only use clear, clean water.

Heat exchange in the set produces air circulation, causing dust particles (carpet fibres, curtain fibres and house dust) to be sucked up. These are deposited in the ventilation slits, narrowing them over the years and causing heat build-ups. Heat build-ups are potentially dangerous and reduce the service life of the set. For safety, have the deposits removed from time to time by a professional.

… Opening and adjustment of the set by non-

professionals.

Connecting the set (example)

Connecting set to aerial and mains

This TV set offers optimum picture and sound quality.

The essential preconditions for this are: Perfectly functioning aerial systems and aerial connection cable with high degree of shielding (85 dB) connecting the TV set and aerial jack or TV set and video recorder.

Avoid worn cables near the set.

Switching set on/off

Press the ü button on the set.

If the set is not in use for long periods (for example at night) use this button to switch it off, thus saving energy.

button

In the rest of the text, the remote control buttons are illustrated instead of the symbols for the buttons.

The line on the lower edge of the display acts as operating guide.

The set is equipped with » ATS euro plus « (Auto Tuning System). The special convenience feature of the new system is the automatic channel position assignment. The channel memory system scans the whole reception range, stores the channels found and enters them with the associated station name (abbreviation) in a table.

The automatic assignment of channel positions can be rearranged in accordance with your requirements. For example channels from stations without identification can be allocated a station name – from the displayed range of abbreviations.

Setting dialogue language

You can select any one of several languages for dialogue between you and the TV set. User guidance is displayed in the selected language.

If the language set at the factory is the one you require just press the

button.

If you want to change the language, press buttons

The TV set searches for through all the channel numbers for television channels, arranges them and stores them. The procedure can – depending on the number of channels to be received – last over a minute. After the search procedure, the first channel position is displayed.

The station table is transferred automatically to the video recorder. (Only with Megalogic sets).

The set is equipped with the MEGALOGIC system. This system offers especially high degree of operating convenience with a video recorder. Channel related data (stored channels) can be transferred from the TV set to the video recorder (VCR). This renders channel programming with the VCR unnecessary – see page 20.

Teletext Mode

General

Teletext is additional information which is transmitted simultaneously with the television channel by the television station.

The additional information can be displayed on the screen with a teletext decoder integrated in your televison set.

Teletext is transmitted in the form of text and graphical depictions or as sub-titles for television programmes.

Subtitles are useful for persons with damaged hearing.

The information pages and dialogue lines allow the easy operation of your television set. The statements in the dialogue lines name functions and the corresponding buttons.

TOP-FLOF teletext

TOP and FLOF are new procedures for simplified and fast selection of teletext pages.

With TOP and FLOF you can select teletext pages, without knowing the page numbers. All the teletext pages transmitted by the station are arranged in topic groups – also called blocks –, as in a “card index”.

Thus for example all news reports are gathered in the » Current affairs « block. Other topic groups are for example the »Sport «, » Television programmes « and » Service « blocks. With TOP teletext the blocks are further subdivided into several groups, for example with » Current affairs « into politics, economics, culture etc. The groups consist of normal pages.

The user guide on the screen makes operation extremely simple and straightforward. A commentary line is displayed at the lower edge of the screen and is colour labelled. The displayed colours are also to be found on the remote control. With TOPmode the yellow field shows the next group in the current block. The blue field states the next block.

You switch from block to block with the blue remo-

te control button, from group to group with the yel-

low, and you leaf forwards from page to page with

the green button. The red button takes you back-

wards.

With FLOF-mode a topic selection appears in

coloured script. The colour buttons of the remote

control take you to the displayed topic.

TOP and FLOF thus bring you quickly, simply and

securely to your goal – the required teletext page.

If TOP or FLOF teletext is not transmitted by the

station, a bar with four coloured fields appears.

You can retrieve the available pages with the but-

tons (red, green, yellow or blue).

If the signal from the aerial is not perfect, e.g. fading, the teletext pages may be imperfectly transmitted. If fine tuning the TV set produces no improvement have the aerial system tested.

Something worth knowing

Additional information from the station is needed

for the »TOP « teletext mode. A short delay is there-

fore necessary after switching on or after changing

channel before the TOP-decoder has read its

memory and all information is available.

With the

button you move from every operating mode immediately back into normal television mode.

Please note the user guide displayed at the lower edge of the screen.
