… to digital terrestrial television

Welcome to a new form of entertainment with new free to air – and subscription
services.
Future features are interactive via the modem and Common Interface, and are
used for home shopping, home banking and other services.

What is digital TV and why is the world changing to
digital transmission?

Digital transmission will do for the eyes what the Compact Disc brought for the
ears!
No noise in the picture, no cross effects between the picture and sound content,
no influence of multipath reception as a result of reflections to the aerial. The
quality of reception is outstanding.
Digital terrestrial television is received through the same aerial that is used for
existing analogue TV reception and is transmitted preferably in the widescreen
format 16:9 (speak 16 by nine).
Please note, a few TV transmitter stations will have to transmit some of the digi­tal services on new frequencies outside of the existing frequency range.
This would make it necessary to have a broadband aerial installed in order to
receive all the new services.

How can I record digital transmissions?

Dont worry, this is possible via the Scart extension from your Grundig TV. Refer
to page 14.
More good news: Digital terrestrial TV was introduced in november ‘98, but
new features for interactivities may change the existing TV’s software. Don’t
worry! Your TV is prepared for updating any kind of change via the Common
Interface (PCMIA) slot on the rear of the TV. Refer to page 10.
Flashcards to do this are available, if needed, via your dealer or our Service
Organisation.
If you want to judge the picutre quality, just follow the instructions on page 57.
Your GRUNDIG IDTV (Integrated Digital TV) displays an integrated colour bar
test pattern in digital mode – in digital resolution.
Impressive this new TV generation – isn’t it. Grundig made for you.

INSTALLATION AND SAFETY

_______________________________

In order to assure that this high-quality and easy-to-use TV set will be able to
provide you with good service and pleasure for a long time to come, it is impor­tant that you observe the following points when installing the set.

This set has been designed for the reception and reproduction of picture and
sound signals.
Any other use is explicitly forbidden.

The ideal viewing distance from the screen is 5 times the diagonal width of the
screen.
External light shining on the screen adversely affects picture quality.

Make sure that there is enough space inside the cabinet.

Make sure that there is enough space inside the cabinet.

The TV set is designated for operation in dry rooms. Should you nevertheless
operate it outside, make absolutely sure that it is protected against dampness
(rain, water splashes). Never expose the TV set to any sort of moisture.

Do not place vessels filled with fluid (vases or similar things) on the TV set.
The vessel may tip over and the fluid may adversely affect electrical safety.
Put the TV set on an even and hard surface. Do not place objects (for example,
newspapers) on the TV set or place the set on a cloth cover, etc.

Do not place the TV set close to the heating or in direct sunshine as it could
overheat.
Heat build-up can be dangerous and is detrimental to the service life of the
equipment. From time to time, have a technician come to clean the inside of the
set.
Keep the TV set away from magnetic fields (for example stereo speakers).

INSTALLATION AND SAFETY

___________________________________________________

Do not open the TV set under any circumstance. The manufacturer will offer no
liability for damage resulting from unauthorized tampering.

Be sure that the mains cable is not damaged at any time.

Storms represent a danger for every type of electrical device. Even if the set is
switched off, it could be damaged by a lightning strike hitting the mains and/or
the aerial lead. Therefore, always disconnect the mains plug and aerial plug
when there is a storm.

When cleaning the screen, use only a soft, damp cloth. Use only clean water.

Technology and ecology are combined into a convincing overall concept with
this TV set. Ecologically high-quality 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.

INSTALLATION AND SAFETY

___________________________________________________

Warning

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
other 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 colou-

red 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.

TV OPERATION

__________________________________________________________________________

Picture format switching

In digital mode the TV set automatically is in „16:9“ picture format. When in
analoge mode the reception conditions are poor, it may happen that the picture
format changes between 16:9 and 4:3. In this case the „automatic picture for­mat switchover “ should be switched off. See chapter “Service – Picture for mat
switchover” on page 38 for information about how this is done. When in digital
mode the digital signal will automatically select the correct viewing mode. You
now are able to change the format by pressing »E«. If digital channels are
changed, the picture format returns automatically back to „16:9“ picture format.

1 Press »

E

« to select the picture format. The selected picture format, e.g.
»16:9«, appears on the picture screen.
– You may switch between the following picture formats:

Automatic format

In the case of 16:9 programmes, the TV set automatically switches to the “16:9”
picture format. In the case of 4:3 programmes, the TV set automatically switches
to full screen mode. This setting is only possible if the picture format switchover is
set to «manual». See chapter “Service – Picture format switchover” on page 38
for information about how this is done.

Format 16:9

In the case of 4:3 broadcasts and with the function “Format 16:9” selected, the
picture is horizontally enlarged. The picture geometry is stretched in the hori­zontal direction. In the case of real 16:9 signal sources delivered by an add-on
decoder connected to the Euro-AV socket, the picture screen is fully filled and the
picture geometry is correct.

Cinema

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. The pictures are enlarged and picture informa­tion is lost at the top and the bottom, but the picture geometry is maintained.

Panorama

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” selected,
the picture is horizontally enlarged. The picture geometry is streched in the hori­zontal direction.

What is MHEG?

The MHEG functions (Multimedia and Hypermedia Experts Group) are an
extended and convenient teletext service.

With the MHEG functions and the integrated modem, your TV set is prepared
for interactive operation with external devices and TV stations, such as home
shopping and homebanking.

The MHEG functions will probably be introduced by the TV broadcasters at the
end of 1999.

Please consult your specialized dealer for more information about software
updates and retrofit kits via a common interface.

Operation with the MHEG functions

If a station is broadcasting the MHEG service, this is indicated by the yellow LED
next to the mains button.

The »TXT«, » CL«, »,,«, »..«,»FF«,»EE«, and the four colour buttons are
automatically switched over to MHEG mode.

Pressing the »i Activ« button switches between MHEG mode and normal TV
mode.

MHEG FUNCTIONS

______________________________________________________

50

Notes:

Connect your modem socket only to an exchange line.
Do not use the modem as an extension to a pay telephone.
Your TV set is provided with a so-called Ringer Equivalence number. The

number is 1.
It is possible to connect further telecommunication devices to the telephone

line provided not more than 4 Ringer Equivalence numbers are used.
The modem in your TV set is provided to function with Common Interface (CI)

modules.
For further instructions see the Common Interface user manual.

Connecting the TV set to a telephone socket

1 Connect the »ü LINE« socket on the TV set (RJ11 plug) and the telepho-

ne adapter (431A plug) with a commercially available modem cable (with
ferrite-clip).

2 Connect the telephone lead with the second socket on the telephone

adapter.

3 Plug the telephone adapter into the telephone socket.

Note:

When using a cable without ferrite clip, this must be retrofitted. When doing
this, one winding must be inserted through the clip. This clip is available from
your Grundig dealer.

Settings for modem operation

With this setting you determine
– the dialling mode.

This requires you to inform the modem of what type of phone line you use
(pulse or tone dialling). Pick up and listen to the sound coming from your
phone during dailing. If it is continuous, then you must select ”TONE”, if it is
intermittent, then you must select ”PULSE”

– the dialling prefix and prefix number.

The TV set may be operated in a place where its use and viewing is commu­nal, for example in offices, schools or shops. If this is the case, the prefix
needs to be enabled. This is done by selecting the ”ENABLE” setting. In addi­tion, the prefix number (0 to 9) needs to be adjusted to accommodate that of
the normal phonelines of the office, school or shop.
If the TV set is used at home, this setting is not required.
