Safety and setting up

r

Please avoid …

Ń

!

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

Ń

!

… 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.

Ń

!

… that the ventilation slits become obstructed.

Ń

!

… spacing too small around the cabinet walls in

respect of the surroundings.

Ń

!

… damage to mains cable.

Ń

!

… magnetic fields (loudspeaker boxes) near the set.

Ń

!

… friction and scratches on the screen.

Ń

!

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

Ń

!

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.

Ń

!

… Opening and adjustment of the set by non-

professionals.

Connecting the set
(example)

r

Connecting set to aerial and mains

This TV set offers optimum picture and sound qua­lity.

Ń

!

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.

Ń

!

Avoid worn cables near the set.

r

Switching set on/off

Press the ü button on the set.

Ń

!

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

The station memory system
»ATS euro plus«

and

O

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.

r

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

O

button.

If you want to change the language, press buttons

and confirm

with the Obutton. This starts the search.

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.
