SET-UP AND SAFETY

___________________________

Please note the following information when setting up your television set.
This television set is designed to receive and display video and audio

signals.
Any other use is expressly prohibited.

The ideal viewing distance is 5 times the screen diagonal.
External light falling on the screen impairs picture quality.

To assure sufficient ventilation make sure there is enough space
around it in the wall unit.

The television set is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it in the
open, please ensure that it is protected from moisture, such as rain or
splashing water. Do not expose the television set to any moisture.

Do not place any vessels such as vases on the television, as they may
spill liquid, thus presenting a safety risk.
Place the television set on a solid, level surface. Do not place any
objects such as newspapers on the television set or cloth or similar items
beneath it.

Do not place the television set close to heating units or in direct sunlight,
as this will impair cooling.
Heat build-up can be dangerous and shortens the operating life of the
television set. For reasons of safety, have a specialist remove any dirt
deposits in the set from time to time.

Do not open the television set under any circumstances. Warranty
claims are excluded for damage resulting from improper handling.

Ensure that the mains cable and the mains adapter are not damaged.
The television set may only be operated with the mains cable/adapter
supplied.

Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the tele­vision set is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the
mains or the antenna cable. Always disconnect the mains and antenna
plugs during a storm.

Only clean the plasma screen with a chamois leather and commercially
available glass cleaner.
Only clean the housing of the plasma television with a damp, soft cloth,
and plain water.

The Plasma screen is equipped with a glass plate. If the device is
subjected to excessive strain, for example through vibration, bending or
heat shocks the glass plate can break.
Do not hit or put pressure on the glass plate.
Should the glass plate be damaged, pull out the main plug immediately.

Plasma screens use the principle of luminescent material. This techno­logy can suffer sticking effects under certain operating conditions. This
can include:
– Prolonged display of a freeze-frame
– Constant display of the same background
– Use of a picture format (such as 4:3) which does not fill the screen.

Once these sticking effects occur, they cannot normally be reversed.
To avoid sticking effects please note:
– During the first 100 operating hours, ensure that the television

displays mostly moving pictures or frequently changing stills which fill

the screen
– Use a picture format which fills the screen (16:9)
– Always activate the screensaver when using a PC
– Decrease the contrast and brightness as much as possible
– Switch off the device when it is not in use

If a freeze-frame is on the Plasma screen for a very long time (several
hours), it is possible that this will be visible as a ghosting effect for some
time when you switch to another channel. However, after a certain
amount of time this ghosting disappears again.
This can be caused by a type of memory effect. In order to prevent this
effect, we recommend activating the screen saver when using a PC.

After a lengthy period without use (longer than one year) a temporary
colour discrepancy is possible in some circumstances.
This effect is normal for plasma screens. After a while these colour
discrepancies disappear again.

A plasma screen is made up of around. 1.2 million colour pixels.
Within the industrial standard tolerance, a very small number of pixels
(0.001 %) can be defective. This is not regarded as a device defect
under the terms of the warranty.

The plasma screen functions with inert gases and air pressure.
At 2,000 m above sea-level or higher, the picture can become unstable
and the picture quality is reduced. However, when the device is returned
to below 2,000 m above sea-level, this effect disappears and the device
functions perfectly.

Please note when deciding where to put the device that furniture sur­faces are covered by various types of lacquer and plastic, most of which
contain chemical additives. These may cause corrosion to the feet of the
device, thus resulting in stains on the surface of the furniture which can
be difficult or impossible to remove.

Note:

Do not connect any other equipment while the device is switched on.
Switch off the other equipment as well before connecting it.
Only plug the device into the mains socket after you have connected the
external devices and the antenna.

sion and the corresponding sockets on the hi-fi system/
AV receiver with a cinch cable.

to the corresponding socket on the AV receiver using a cinch
cable (video signal).

Inserting batteries in the remote control

1 Open the battery compartment by removing the lid.
2 Insert the batteries (Mignon type, for example UM-3 or

AA, 2x1,5V). Observe the polarity (marked on the base
of the battery compartment).

3 Close the battery compartment.

Note:

If the television no longer reacts properly to remote
control commands, the batteries may be flat. Be sure to
remove used batteries.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage re­sulting from used batteries.
