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.
Ensure sufficient clearance between the TV and the wall cabinet.
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.

If the television is subject to sudden changes in temperature, for example if it
is brought in from the cold to a warm room, connect it to the mains supply
and let it stand for at least two hours before you insert a disc.

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.
Keep the television set away from magnetic fields (loudspeaker boxes, for
example).

Do not open the television set under any circumstances. No warranty claims
are accepted for damage resulting from improper handling.

Ensure that the mains cable is not damaged.
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.

Do not insert foreign objects in the disc compartment.
If the device is unable to scan discs perfectly, use a standard, commercially

available cleaning CD to clean the laser optics. Other cleaning methods may
damage the laser optics.

Always keep the disc compartment closed to prevent dust from collecting on
the laser optics.

Clean the screen with a soft, damp cloth. Only use plain water.

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 leaking batteries.

Environmental note

Batteries, including those which contain no heavy metal,
may not be disposed of with household waste. Please
dispose of used batteries in an environmentally sound
manner. Find out about the legal regulations which apply
in your area.
