Notes on Safety and Setting Up
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 wire 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 has the advantage of an 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.

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 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.
Switching the unit on and off (continuet).
Switching on from standby: Press ] or
1…0
button.
Switching off with remote control handset: Press
b button
twice (switching on again only possible on the unit).
Switching off on the unit: Press
¢
IO
button.
If you do not use the televison for extended periods of
time (e.g., at night), it is recommended to activate the
ecological mains switch
This will ensure that the unit is completely switched off
from standby.
This helps you to save energy.
For further information see the "Settings" function in the
"Special Functions" menu (on page 22).

This procedure can take one minute or
more, depending on the number of
channels that can be received.

Your television is equipped with "ATS euro plus" (Auto Tuning
System). This new system offers you the advantage of automatic channel position assignment.
This search and memory system scans the entire reception
range, stores the channels found, and enters them with their
respective station name (abbreviation) into a TV station table.
You can change the automatic
channel position assignment
as you wish. For example, 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.
