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!
The TV receiver is provided with a Megatron-picture tube with
a special surface layer.
This layer increases the contrast and reduces reflections.
A further advantage is the antistatic effect, i.e. the surface
does not attract dust particles. When the set is switched on,
static charges of the picture screen are avoided to a large
degree by the special surface layer.
Clean the picture screen of your TV set only with a moistened
soft cloth.
Use clear and clean water only.
When cleaning the picture screen, do not apply pressure
(abrasion, scratches).
Do not stick labels of any kind onto the picture screen.
The strength of the magnetic field of the earth is not uniform.
According to the direction in which your TV set is placed, it
can influence the colour purity of the picture screen.
For this reason, make sure not to move the TV set during
operation.
This might falsify the picture colours.
Always switch the set off when transporting it to another
location.

Connecting the Television
Connecting the unit to the aerial
Plug the aerial cable i nto the aerial socket É on the unit.
This highly digitized TV set provides optimum picture and
sound quality.
For this, the following conditions must be met:
Correctly functioning aerial system and connecting leads
with high screening factor (85 dB) between the TV set and
the aerial socket, and between the TV set and the video
recorder, respectively.
Avoid cable loops near the TV set.
Connecting the unit to the mains
Plug the mains cable into the wall socket.
Connecting and Setting Up
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 Safety 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.
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).
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.

Your television is equipped with "ATS euro plus" (Auto Tuning

automatic programme position assignment.
This search and memory system scans the entire reception

respective station name (abbreviation) into a TV station table.
You can change the automatic programme position assignment as you wish and, 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.
