Ń

!

When setting up your television, select a location
where as little light as possible falls on the screen.

Ń

!

The ideal viewing distance is five times the diagonal
width of the screen.

Ń

!

If the television is to be built into a compartment or
similarly enclosed, minimum distances must be
maintained.

Ń

!

Do not cover the ventilation openings on the back.

Ń

!

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.

Ń

!

Never set up speakers next to the unit.

Ń

!

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.

Ń

!

Never place the television near heat sources.

Ń

!

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 electrical storms.

Ń

!

Never expose the unit to moisture.

Ń

!

Do not insert foreign objects into the ventilation
openings on the back.
Caution! High voltage!

Mains voltage:

220-240V, 50/60Hz
(power supply control range 165 … 265 V)

This unit may only be operated with the power
supply cable set which has been supplied. It pre­vents interference from the mains, and is consi­dered an obligatory component of this unit.

For a replacement, contact the nearest customer
service center and order only the power supply
cable set with the following designation:
GWN 9.22/article number 8290.991-316.

r

Power consumption:

approx. 55 W
Stand-by: 6 W

r

Channel coverage:

C01 … C99

Sound output:

2 x 8 W music power (2 x 4 W sine power)

This unit conforms to VDE safety regulations and
directives of the Deutsche Bundespost (German
Federal Post Office; see certification mark on the
type sticker on the rear of the unit), as well as all
relevant ordinances governing X-ray emissions.
The picture tube, which emits X-rays, is sufficiently
shielded and therefore represents no danger.
Accelerating voltage is max. 29kV with a mean
beam current of 1.0mA.

Unauthorized tampering with the unit, in particular
making adjustments to the high voltage system, or
installing a different picture tube, can considerably
increase X-ray emissions. Units so altered no
longer conform to applicable safety regulations and
may not be operated.

Subject to alterations. E. and O.E.

dealer can provide you with a normed standard
connection by means of the following table:

Pin Signal

1 = Audio output right
2 = Audio input right
3 = Audio output left
4 = Audio, earth
5 = Blue, earth
6 = Audio input left
7 = RGB blue input
8 = Switching voltage

9 = Green, earth
10 = –
11 = RGB green input
12 = –
13 = Red, earth
14 = Earth
15 = RGB red input (chroma for SVideo)
16 = RGB switching voltage

21 = Shielding/earth

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.
