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 into 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 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.
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.
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).
Inserting the Battery into the Remote
Control Handset
Remove the battery compartment cover by pressing on the
catch and then removing the cover.

Picture Format Switching
General
PALplus is the compatible further development of the PAL
colour TV standard which has proved its reliability over tens
of years. It has been realized by european radio stations and
consumer electronics companies. With PALplus, programmes can be visualized in cinema format on the picture screen
without disturbing black bars and with the full number of
lines (side ratio 16:9). At the same time, colour restitution
and picture sharpness have visibly been improved.
With a PALplus receiver, the recovery of a 16:9 picture with
the full number of lines is possible by means of the "letter box
conversion" with "Helper transmission" in the black marginal
areas. Colour coding and decoding according to the Colorplus procedure enables an error-free separation of the brightness and colour information thus avoiding cross colour and
cross luminance disturbances. Rainbow colours do not longer occur at high-frequency black/white transitions. In addition, the bandwidth of the transmission channel is optimally
used. A television picture with highest sharpness is the
result.
In relevant programme guides and in Teletext pages (ARD,
ZDF), hints will be given with respect to PALplus broadcasts.
Operation
In the case of PALplus broadcasts, the TV set automatically
switches to the PALplus format.
In the formats menu, "PALplus" is marked in colour.
This menu can be displayed by pressing the
¢16:9 button.

Adjusting the Picture
If you receive a broadcast in Cinema mode with missing indications in the upper or lower part of the picture (eg. scores in
the case of matches), you can switch back to the 4:3 or 16:9
format so that these indications become visible again.
In the case of 4:3 broadcasts and the 16:9 format selected,
the picture is horizontally enlarged.
The picture geometry is streched in horizontal direction.
If you receive pictures from a real 16:9 signal source by
means of an external decoder (eg. Settop-Decoder of Digital
TV System) via the Euro-AV socket, the picture screen is fully
filled out with correct picture geometry.
Reception of PALplus broadcasts via a
satellite-receiver
Connect the satellite receiver to the black EURO-AV socket.
Select a free programme position on the television receiver.
Select "Descrambler on Stereo" (see page 31," ...for Descrambler").
The PALplus broadcast is visible on the selected programme
position. Condition for this is that a 12V switching voltage is
present at Pin 8 of the EURO-AV socket of the satellite receiver.
The same adjustments and the same condition apply for the
use of a comb filter (see page 27).

Each manually selected function in the formats menu is
automatically switched to PALplus if such a broadcast is
received, and back to the previous format when the PALplus broadcast is over.
With broadcasts in conventional format (4:3), the picture
screen of this set (16:9) will not completely be filled out.
Black stripes are visible at the left and the right side of the
picture.
To avoid this, you can switch to another format.
In the format menu, you can lay down which format is to
have priority when switching on or changing the programme
in the case of conventional standards
(4:3).
At the factory, the "Cinema" format has been preset.
In the Cinema mode, 4:3 pictures are displayed over the
whole picture screen.
This means that the pictures are enlarged in such a degree
that the black stripes at the left and right sides disappear.
However, picture information is lost at the top and the bottom
of the picture, but the picture geometry is maintained.
The advantage of this mode is that the black stripes at the top
and the bottom of the picture which are obtained when widescreen cinema films are watched on a "normal" television, are
no longer visible.
For this reason, this mode is especially suited for wide-screen
cinema films.
When such a film is over, the "Cinema" mode is maintained. If
a PALplus broadcast is received, the TV set automatically
switches to PALplus - in our example from Cinema - and back
to Cinema when the broadcast is over.

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, four additional loudspeaker boxes are
necessary.
The two Surround speaker boxes are supplied with the unit.
As front speaker boxes, we recommend the use of GRUNDIG
PD 1 speaker boxes. These are optically and technically
designed to match this television.
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
TOP-Text Mode
What is TOP-Text?
TOP-Text is an innovation which simplifies and accelerates
the selection of teletext pages. TOP-Text stands for "Table Of
Pages".
TOP allows you to select teletext pages without knowing their
page numbers. TOP does this by arranging all the pages that
are transmitted by the television stations according to topics,
also called blocks, as in a filing cabinet.
For example, all news items are listed under "News". Further
topics include the blocks "Sports", "TV Programmes" and
"Services". These blocks in turn are divided into several
groups; "News", for example, is divided into politics, economics, culture, etc.
The individual teletext pages are found within these groups.
The following illustration shows the dialogue line for a TOP
teletext page.
TOP-Text takes you to the teletext page you want,
quickly and simply.
Teletext is provided free of charge by television stations and
is transmitted together with the television signal in the form
of texts, graphic representations and subtitles which are visible on your screen.
Information pages and dialogue lines offered by your television make it simple to use teletext. The information in the
dialogue lines indicates the various functions available as well
as the buttons used for these functions.
Your television automatically switches to the different teletext
systems (TOP, FLOF) offered by the television stations.
Using TOP-Text to call up teletext pages

2. Select the corresponding AV-position with the
0
AV
button.

unit from the EURO-AV sockets ends this function.
Noise reduction
Noise reduction can improve the picture quality if the television/video signal source is poor.
In addition, colour disturbances (cross-colour) which occur
on the fine vertical black/white lines, are also reduced.
Press
¢
IDTV to call up the IDTV menu.
Select the menu line "Noise reduction" with the |or ]button.
Using the xor cbuttons, select :
Off = if the signal is good;
Auto = for slightly disturbed colour pictures, or
High!= This should only be used for pictures which are
strongly distorted as otherwise "tracers" result
when there are fast movements on the screen.
Press .to remove the menu from the screen.
Convenient Functions
Comb filter
When the PAL television system was introduced, it was the
most superior system available. Even today it still offers
excellent picture quality. However, the ability required at the
time to receive black-white as well as colour broadcasts
results in certain inadequacies in the form of the following
picture disturbances.
The first disturbance is known as cross colour. This is observed as colour flickering on finely detailed objects (such as the
flickering seen on materials with a hering-bone pattern, for
example).
The second disturbance is known as cross luminance, and is
observed as a nacreous streaking during colour transitions.
The comb filter can do away with these disturbances. Cross
colour is eliminated, colour transitions are purer, and the picture is altogether sharper.
Call up the IDTV menu by pressing the
¢IDTV button.
Select the comb filter with the
|
or ]button.
Using button
x
or c, you can choose between:
On = the comb filter is active during PAL- reception. The
comb filter is automatically deactivated during
video recorder operation. NTSC video operation is
similarly enhanced as with PAL reception.
Off = the comb filter is off.
Press the
.
button to quit the IDTV menu.

Convenient Functions
Line flicker reduction
Television sets operate according to the interlaced scanning
process, which means that two frames each are combined to
one picture. This normally results in horizontal edges which
move in 25 Hz cycles.
However, this 100 Hz television set reduces this effect.
This increase in picture quality is especially noticeable with
cinema films.
When recording with an electronic camera, this function
should only be used for films with little movement.
Test this function with a test pattern.
Naturally, edge flicker reduction can also be appreciated
during playback of cinema films via a video recorder.
In addition, color stripes are also reduced during the search
function on a video recorder.
Press the
¢IDTV button to call up the IDTV menu.

speakers.
"Descrambler on Mono-L"
For mono-L, the left sound channel is switched to both
speakers.
"Descrambler on Mono-R"
For mono-R, the right sound channel is switched to both
speakers.
The scrambles programmes are routed from the television to
the decoder, are descrambled, and then are routed back to
