Important safety information

This unit has been produced according to all current safety regulations. The following safety tips should
safeguard users against careless use and the dangers connected with such use.

Although this appliance has been carefully manufactured and rigorously checked prior to leaving the factory,

•

as with all electrical appliances it is possible for problems to develop. If you notice smoke, an excessive
build-up of heat or any other unexpected phenomena, you should disconnect the plug from the mains power
socket immediately.
Ensure that the unit is suffi ciently ventilated! Never place next to or underneath curtains!

•

This set should be only be connected to an AC 220~240V / 50Hz mains power supply - do not attempt to

•

connect it to any other type of supply.
The socket-outlet must be installed near the equipment and easily accessible.

•

Any repairs must be carried out by qualifi ed service personnel only.

•

Do not open this unit. A non-expert attempting to repair the unit could be dangerous and potentially cause a

•

fi re hazard.
Keep away from rodents. Rodents (and also cockatiels) enjoy biting into electric fl exes.

•

The animal can cause a short cut (fi re hazard!) and receive a fatal electric shock.

•

Always hold plug when pulling out plug from power mains supply system. Do not pull on fl ex. The fl ex can

•

become overloaded and cause a short cut.
Never wet clean. Only use a damp cloth, the same as when cleaning furniture.

•

Do not submerge in or under water!

•

Set up unit so that no one is able to trip over the fl ex.

•

Only use the unit on a stable, shock-free base in order to avoid any danger from falling.

•

Take note that toddlers can pull the unit down from the table or cupboard by means of its fl ex. Children can

•

hurt themselves when doing this.
Do not use the unit near heat sources. The casing and fl ex could be damaged by the impact of heat.

•

Watch out for kiddies copying what adults do! Do not stick any objects through the vents!

•

The vents must remain open! No newspapers or covers should be put on the unit!

•

The remote control is not a toy! Toddlers could swallow the batteries. If a battery has been swallowed, please

•

seek out a doctor immediately.
The screen is made of glass and can break if damage is done to it. Be careful when collecting sharp-edged

•

glass splitters.
You could be hurt or the unit could be damaged.

•

If the unit is mounted on the wall, contact the shop where you purchased the unit for advice, and leave the

•

installation work to experts. Incomplete installation work can cause you injuries.
Taking fall-prevention measures

•

- If these measures are not taken, the unit can fall and you could be injured.

- Contact the shop where you purchased the unit to obtain full details of the measures.
When a TV stand is used,

•

- Ensure the unit is fully on the stand and placed in the centre.

- Do not leave the stand doors open.

- You could be hurt as a result of the unit falling or breaking, or your fi ngers being caught or jammed. Take
extra precautions if you have children.

Avoid placing the unit on any surfaces that may be subject to vibrations or shocks.

•
To protect the unit during a thunder storm unplug the AC power cord and disconnect the antenna. Caution:

•
Do not touch the antenna connector.
When you leave your home for a long period of time, unplug the AC power cord for safety reasons.

•

•

The unit becomes warm when in operation. Do not place any covers or blankets on the unit in order to
prevent overheating. The ventilation holes are not to be blocked. Do not set up near radiators. Do not place
in direct sunshine. When placing on a shelf leave 10 cm free space around the whole unit. Make some space
around TV (Correct shelf assembly).

•

The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects fi lled with liquids, such as
vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
Liquids spilled into the unit can cause serious damage. Switch the set OFF and disconnect the mains power
supply, then consult a qualifi ed service person before attempting to use the unit again.

Please pay attention to the following instructions in order to avoid receiving a life-threatening electric
shock:

•

Protect against moisture. Never use in the bath or sauna.

•

Never use near a bath, shower or swimming pool.

•

Never use the unit if it has got wet. This can also mean condensation moisture, which occurs in the winter
when the cold unit is brought into a heated fl at. Wait before operating the unit especially after it has been
transported in the winter, until the cold unit has adjusted to the room temperature.

•

Do not place any heavy objects on the fl ex. Electrical isolation could be damaged.

•

Never wrap insulating tape around damaged fl exes or on damaged plugs. These should be repaired or
replaced by qualifi ed service personnel.

•

Never use this unit if the cabinet is defective. Do not make provisional repairs if the cabinet is damaged - this
should be replaced by a new cabinet if necessary.

4

•

Unplug the unit from the mains power supply prior to the cleaning of the unit.

•

To prevent fi re, never place any type of candle or open fl ame on the top or near the TV set.

Important safety information

Moving the unit or carrying by hand

When the unit is moved a long way, unplug the power cord and disconnect the antenna, con­necting cables and any fall-prevention apparatus.

• Moving without doing so could result in damage to the power cord, a fi re, electric shocks or injuries
from dropping the unit.

When the TV stand has casters, remove caster cups from the stand and push it while supporting
the unit.

• Ensure that you support the unit when the stand is pushed, as this can cause the unit to fall and
you could be injured.

• The appliance could leave indentations in wooden tables with extremely soft wooden surfaces due
to its heavy weight.

• Furniture polish could corrode and dissolve rubber feet. Black imprints could be visible on the
table. You should therefore only use TV benches, which have been constructed for this specifi c
purpose.

Secure the casters when the unit is installed on a TV stand with casters.

• The stand can move and you could be hurt if the casters are not secured.

Remove casters when the stand is placed on a soft surface such as a mat and carpet.

The distance between eyes and the screen should be about 5 ~ 7 times as long as diagonal length
of the screen.

• Viewing from too close a distance can cause strain for your eyes.

When installing the Monitor on a table, be careful not to place the edge of its stand.

• This may cause the Monitor to fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to
the Monitor.

How to attach the stand

NOTE:

• Unplug the AC cord from the AC INPUT terminal.

• Before performing work spread cushioning over the base area to lay the TV on.

• Do not touch or press the TV-screen, glass might break under pressure.

1) Place the TV on its back onto a table.

2) Align the stand’s bottom-plate (supplied) as seen here.
It will fi t in only one direction.

3) Press it in direction of arrow until ‘click’.

Finally secure the bottom-plate with 2
screws (included).

Please note “ ” mark on the stand is facing the LCD
panel side.

Dismantling the base

For wall mounting, the base must be dismantled. To do this, remove 2 screws (M, see page 10) from the
back. Take off the base entirely.

Important safety information

Possible Adverse Effects on LCD Screen: If a fi xed (non-moving) pattern remains on the LCD screen

for long periods of time, the image can become permanently engrained in the LCD TV panel and cause
subtle but permanent ghost images. This type of damage is NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY.
Never leave your TV on for long periods of time while it is displaying the following formats or images:

• Fixed Images, such as stock tickers, video game patterns, TV station logos, teletext pages, and

websites.

• Special Formats that do not use the entire screen. For example, viewing letterbox style (16:9) media

on a normal (4:3) display (Black bars at top and bottom of screen); or viewing normal style (4:3)
media on a widescreen (16:9) display (Black bars on left and right sides of screen).

Attention!

Cleaning instructions for your LCD TV.

Safety note:

Before you start to clean, switch the set’s power off completely and disconnect the plug from the mains
power supply.

Be careful not to scratch the plastic coated front panel - it is highly vulnerable to accidental scratching
(e.g. by fi ngernails or other sharp items). (While cleaning, do not wear jewelry) that could cause surface
scratching (such as rings, wrist-watch, etc.). Use a lint-free cloth and pure water to clean with, but make
sure the cloth is thoroughly wrung out so that it is just damp and not soaking wet - also make sure that
the cloth is free from any dirt that could cause scratching to the surface.
Wipe the set clean using minimal pressure.
Do not use standard window cleaning fl uid. Its alcohol / ammonia will dissolve the front window’s coating.
Never use solvent or thinner. Never use special cleaners which are designed for cleaning PC Monitors or
CRT TVs. Finally carefully rub dry with a clean dry lint-free cloth.
Do not use paper towels or tissues to clean the set - paper can disintegrate when wet or may leave a trail
of dust behind. Some paper can also be abrasive and scratch your screen.

Picture size and resolution

Resolution and picture quality

Broadcast wide screen fi lms in different resolutions. The following table shows the resolution options for
wide screen fi lm broadcast media.

Broadcast media

Resolution of the wide
screen signal

432i x 704 (Letterbox) Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes No

576i x 704 (anamorphic) No Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes No

720 x 1280 (HD) No No No No No Yes Yes

1080i x 1920 (HD) No No No No No Yes Yes

Best image quality results when the inputted resolution received corresponds with the resolution of
the used TV appliance. The 19LD5550U/22LD5550U has a resolution of 1366x768, its picture format
therefore corresponds with 16:9. As a result best image quality results with a picture signal of 1280x720
or higher.

The low resolution of analogue cable TV is not recommendable for HD-ready appliances resulting in
poorest visual image quality. Analogue cable TV is however completely suffi cient for analogue tube TV
appliances.

Picture quality and black bars

Wide screen fi lms come in different formats. The format is the
relationship between the width and height of the picture. For example,
with a 16:9 fi lm the width to height ratio is 16:9 or 1.78:1. Only 16:9 fi lms
can fi ll a HD-ready screen without black bars. Therefore, black bars are
always visible when a format other than 16:9 is received. E.g. 4:3, A 4:3
displays vertical black bars to the right and left.

If a 4:3 picture is increased to 16:9 format then it either appears
distorted (see illustration) or some parts of the picture are cropped off at
the top and the bottom. This is completely normal and is not a fault in
the wide screen TV.

Super Cinemascope fi lms are wider than 16:9 fi lms. They are in the
format 2.4:1 or 22:9, for example. This is clearly wider than16:9.
Therefore, Super Cinemascope fi lms display black bars at the top and
bottom on any HD-ready TV set. The 19LD5550U/22LD5550U cannot
remove the black bars from Super Cinemascope fi lms.

Picture format and resolution

There is no connection between the picture format and the resolution received. For example, the Super
Cinemascope format can be received in all resolutions, even in the HD resolution1080ix1920. For HDTV
reception too an HD-ready set may display black bars at the top and bottom.

Picture format

Picture Size

The required picture format can be set by pressing
the PICTURE SIZE button. Press PICTURE SIZE
until the required format is displayed.
Tip: The picture goes dark for a short time every
time the button is pressed before appearing in the
required format.
You move through the following formats when you
press the button: AUTO, 4:3, 16:9, CINEMA, 14:9
REAL (HDMI only).

AUTO

The picture is automatically only then shown in
a format-fi lling display when a WSS-TV signal is
received.

Example:

If the analogue tuner receives a letterbox image
with WSS signal then the resulting image looks like
this:

illustration 1:
Letterbox image is increased

WSS:

Public broadcasters include 16:9 identification,
the WSS signal (WideScreenSignalling), during
transmission in order to ensure automatic conversion
to 16:9.
Most private broadcasters do not transmit a WSS
signal. Their 16:9 fi lms are always broadcast in
letterbox format. AUTOmatic does not recognise
anything without WSS signal and does not
automatically alter the picture size. Use the
PICTURE SIZE button to set the required picture
size for private channels.
If AUTO is set then the built-in tuner checks whether
the WSS signal is present after every switch-over to
another programme.
If the WSS signal is rediscovered the screen goes
intermittently black.
The picture can also go black during adverts when
adverts are transmitted in both 4:3 and 16:9 .

Switch off AUTOmatic if you are bothered by the
intermittent darkness of the picture. Switch off
AUTOmatic by pressing the PICTURE SIZE button
until the required format appears, e.g. 16:9.

Other formats

Press PICTURE SIZE until the desired size is
reached.

4:3

The picture is displayed in 4:3
format with black bars to the
right and left.

16:9

The width of the picture will be zoomed evenly.
16:9 is particularly suitable for DVD players,
DVB-T, DVB-C and satellite receivers, which can
transmit and show 16:9 feature fi lms without black
bars. In the set-up menu of the set, adjust it to
show that a 16:9 TV set is connected.

CINEMA

Use CINEMA to increase a small 4:3 letterbox
signal. How do you recognise whether the
broadcasting station / the set operating is using
a 4:3 letterbox signal that is too low? Press the
PICTURE SIZE button on the remote control until
the 4:3 format appears. If the picture is surrounded
by a black border as in the illustration, this is a
4:3 letterbox signal. Limited by the broadcasting
station / the set operating, this signal is much
too low for a 16:9 HD-ready screen. CINEMA
increases this picture that is too small as far as
possible. Natural visible poor focus emerges,
rather as if a postcard were being increased
to poster size. This unfocused appearance is
conditioned by input signals that are too low and
is in no way a production fault in this TV set.

4:3 Letterbox picture increased to CINEMA format.

14:9

The picture is increased somewhat but not up to
the full screen width. Black bars remain on the
right and left and also at the top and bottom.

REAL (HDMI mode only)

The picture is displayed with
original size.

Note:

The picture size cannot be adjusted in PC operation.

•
For 720p and 1080i signals the PICTURE SIZE feature

•
is available only for 16:9 or REAL (HDMI only) format.
External receivers can automatically adjust the picture

size via a SCART cable. Please read the instructions
