❒

Switching picture formats

PALplus is the compatible further developement of the PAL color television which has proved itself over decades in a new 16:9 picture format which has been developed by European broadcasting corporations and entertainment electronics corporations. PALplus transmissions in 16:9 format are noted specially in relevant magazines and in videotext (ARD, ZDF).

The unit switches automatically to the 16:9 format during PALplus transmissions.

Under bad reception conditions, it is possible for the picture format to switch between 16:9 and 4:3. In this case, the automatic picture format switching function can be turned off. Read page 14 in the chapter «Service» for information on this topic.

With the

button, you can choose between the picture formats: » Automatic format «, » Format 16:9 «, » CINEMA «, » Format 4:3 « and » PANORAMA «.

Automatic format

During 16:9 transmissions, the unit switches automatically to the »16:9« picture format.

During 4:3 transmissions, the picture is always displayed so as to fill the entire screen.

This setting is possible only if the the picture switching format in the »Service« menu is set to »manual« (see page 14)

16:9 picture format

During 4:3 transmissions– with the » 16:9 picture format « function selected – the picture appears spread out horizontally. The picture geometry is stretched out in the horizontal direction.

With actual 16:9 signal sources – fed in from a separate decoder (for example a digital television system » set-on-top « decoder) via the Euro AV socket – the picture is completely filled and the picture geometry is correct.

CINEMA ZOOM

This operating mode is designed primarily for transmissions in the 16:9 format. The black stripes one normally sees above and below the picture are overwritten. The Cinema operating mode displays 4:3 pictures so that they fill the entire screen. The transmitted pictures are enlarged, which means that some picture content on the top and bottom of the screen is lost. Howevere the picture geometry is maintained.

PANORAMA ZOOM

This operating mode is designed for cinema films transmitted by broadcasters – with extreme width/height ratios. For 4:3 transmissions – with the »Panorama Zoom « function selected– the picture appears spead out horizontally. The picture geometry is stretched out in the horizontal direction.

As long as the » Panorama Zoom« operating mode is displayed as a guide to the user on the lower edge of the screen, the picture height can be adjusted by pressing the

or ]key, so that any black stripes remaining on the uppper or lower edge of the screen disappear.

Notes on the environment by Grundig

Technology and ecology combine into a convincing overall concept with this TV set. Ecologically highquality materials are used exclusively. The housing contains a high amount of recyclable parts from used plastics and the surface colours used are water-based, partly recycled. Wherever possible, painting of individual housing parts has been omitted. Due to the optimized housing construction, flame protection materials have been omitted. The number of plastic types has been reduced through and through in order to ensure high-quality recycling when the set is put out of use – all larger plastic parts are marked. For optimum re-use, this TV set has been constructed in such a way as to make dismantling very easy.

❒

Pin assignment for the EURO-AV socket

If you want to connect other devices to your television (for example, a computer or amplifier), your dealer can provide you with a normed standard connection by means of the following table:

Pin Signal

11 = Audio ouput, right 12 = Audio input, right 13 = Audio output, left 14 = Audio earth 15 = Blue, earth 16 = Audio input, left 17 = RGB blue input 18 = Switching voltage 19 = Green earth

The product fulfils the requirements of the

following EU guidelines: 73/23/EEC Guideline concerning electrical operating units within certain voltage limits. 89/336/EEC guideline on electro-magnetic compatibility.

The unit is accordance with the norms: EN 60065, EN 55013, EN 55020

Technical Specifications

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.
