Picture format switching

PALplus is the compatible further development of the PAL colour TV standard with 16:9 picture format which has proved its reliability over tens of years. In relevant programme guides and in Teletext pages (ARD, ZDF), hints will be given with respect to PALplus broadcasts.

In the case of PALplus broadcasts, the TV set automatically switches to the PALplus format.

With the

button you can switch between the picture formats “Panorama Zoom”, “Wide screen”, “Auto Format”, “4:3”, “Zoom 14:9”, “Cinema Zoom”, und “Sky Zoom”.

Auto Format

In the case of 16:9 broadcasts, the TV set automatically switches to the “16:9” picture format. In the case of 4:3 broadcasts, the TV set automatically switches to full screen mode.

14:9

picture format or Widescreen

In the case of 4:3 broadcasts and with the function “Widescreen” or “Zoom 14:9” selected, the picture is horizontally enlarged. The picture geometry is streched in horizontal direction.

Widescreen

In “Zoom 14:9” mode, black stripes are visible at the left and the right side of the picture.

Zoom 14:9

In the case of real 16:9 signal sources delivered by an add-on decoder (e.g., Set-Top Box digital TV system), the picture screen is fully filled and the picture geometry is correct.

Cinema Zoom

This mode is especially appropriate for broadcasts in 16:9 picture format. The advantage of this mode is that the black stripes at the top and the bottom of the picture are no longer visible. In this mode, 4:3 pictures are displayed over the whole picture screen The pictures are enlarged in such a degree that picture information is lost at the top and the bottom of the picture, but the picture geometry is maintained.

Sky Zoom

Like Cinema Zoom. The picture is slightly pushed up to make subtitles visible.

Panorama Format

This mode is especially suited for cinema fims with extreme width/height relations. In the case of 4:3 broadcasts and with the function “Panorama Format” selected, the picture is horizontally enlarged. The picture geometry is streched in horizontal direction.

What is Dolby Surround Pro Logic?

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. For this, the sound is splitted into several channels. The Dolby Surround Pro Logic sound signal comprises:

Ster

eo channels (left/right):

These channels provide for the left/right sound information.

Centre channel:

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).

Sur

round channel:

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 video discs (DVD, laser discs), video cassettes, and television broadcasts.

Loudspeaker equipment necessary for the different Dolby Surround Pro Logic functions

The diffent Dolby Surround functions depend on the loudspeaker equipment available.

Equipment for Dolby Surround Pro Logic

To get the optimum sound quality from the Dolby Surround Pro Logic system, five loudspeaker boxes are necessary: left/right loudspeaker, centre loudspeaker, and 2 sourround loudspeakers.

If you cannot install five loudspeaker boxes, you can still use the following Dolby operating modes: Dolby 3 Stereo or Hall.

However, with these operating modes, it is not possible to get the optimum sound impression such as with Dolby Surround Pro Logic.

Equipment for Dolby 3 Stereo

Use this mode if you cannot install the surround loudspeakers.

quipment for Hall

Use this mode if you can only install left/right and sourround loudspeakers.

Copying video recordings via the TV set

You can copy from a video recorder connected to the EXTERNAL 1 socket to a video recorder connected to the EXTERNAL 2 socket,

from an S-VHS/Hi8 camcorder or video recorder connected to the sockets on the front side of the TV set to a video recorder connected to the EXTERNAL 2 socket.

For copying from an S-VHS/Hi8 video recorder or camcorder the EXTERNAL 2 socket must be activated for S-VHS mode (see chapter “Connecting a video recorder, satellite receiver, SET-TOP box etc. to the EXTERNAL 2 socket” on page 27

pying

Use the

button to select the desired programme position “EXT 1” or “FRONT” from which you wish to copy to the video recorder connected to the “EXT 2” socket.

Copying from a PC to a video recorder is not possible.

During copying it is not allowed to change the programme position on the TV set or to switch the TV set to stand-by.

If you use a Megalogic video recorder as target recorder and you wish to switch the TV set to standby, the red and green pilot lamps on the TV set light up to signal that copying is in progress.

Connectinga computer

You can connect a PC or an Apple Macintosh computer to your TV set.

The TV set recognizes automatically the resolution of the VGA source. The following resolutions are possible: VGA 640 x 480 Pixel, 60 Hz/31.47 kHz

(VGA Standard) VGA 640 x 400 Pixel, 70 Hz/31.47 kHz VGA 640 x 350 Pixel, 70 Hz/31.47 kHz MAC II 640 x 480 Pixel, 67Hz/35.00 kHz

If the VGA signal is not recognized, the indication “VGA >35 KHz” appears in the top right corner of the picture screen. In this case, change the resolution of your graphics card.

Connecting a PC

Connect the “VGA IN” socket at the front or rear side of the TV set with the corresponding VGA socket on the computer using a VGA cable.

Connect the audio output of the computer (if provided) with the “L AUDIO IN R” Cinch sockets using a commercially available audio cable.

Repeatedly press the

button until “VGA” is displayed on the picture screen. The VGA mode is activated.

Connecting an Apple Macintosh computer

With the adapter supplied is is possible to use Macintosh computers with different H and V sync signals.

For Macintosh computers with Composite Sync and Sync on Green signals it may be necessary to use a special adapter or cable. For more information, ask your computer dealer.

Connect the adapter supplied to one end of the VGA cable.

Set the DIP switch to the following positions:
