Dear customer, thank you for purchasing this

Metz product. We have equipped this TV set

with a menu system which uses "file cards" and believe that this will provide you with a user interface that is easy to understand.

If you have any problems, you can press the "INFO" key to display a help function that will assist you in setting up your TV set.

However, you should read at least sections 1 to 7 of the Operating Instructions before putting your new TV set into service.

1. Installation

• Take care that no bright artificial light or sunshine falls directly on the screen. This could cause reflections which have a negative effect on the brilliance of the picture.

• The optimum viewing distance is about five times the screen diagonal dimension. For TV sets with a 70 cm screen, it is thus about 3.5 metres.

• The antenna cable and any other components (such as a video recorder) connected between the antenna socket in the wall and the TV set must comply with the European standard EN 60966-2-4.

• There may be no magnetic fields in the immediate vicinity of the TV set. Keep loudspeaker boxes well away from the set.

• The antenna cable used for connecting the TV set must have a screening attenuation of at least 75 dB.

• The use of non-approved cables will invalidate the operating permission for the TV set.

5 x cm

• For details of how to connect peripheral devices such as video recorders, DVD players, etc. press the „INFO“ key to call the help function, select „Connecting AV devices“ with the cursor and press „OK“ to display the information.

2. Safety notes

• Always place the monitor on a solid, stable surface.

• If a cold TV set is moved to a warm room, always allow any condensation on the screen to evaporate before switching it on.

• The TV set is intended for use in a dry room. If, in exceptional circumstances, you use it outdoors, take care that is protected against moisture (rain, splashed water, dew).

• TV sets need adequate ventilation. Never cover the openings on the rear of the set with curtains, doilies, newspapers, etc. Also take care that the slits in the bottom of the case are freely accessible so that the intake of the cooling air is not hindered.

• If you place the TV set in a wall unit, leave sufficient space on all sides for the

circulation of cooling air.

• Do not place the TV set close to a radiator, since this would effect adequate cooling.

• Do not place burning candles or

vessels containing liquids (vases, etc.)

on top of the TV set, since any hot wax or water dripping into the set could cause serious damage to the electronic components and could also jeopardize the electrical safety of the set.

2. Safety notes

• Lightning can damage electrical equipment. A lightning flash entering the power cable or the aerial cable can damage the TV set even if it is switched off. You should therefore disconnect the power cable and aerial cable from their outlets or from the TV set in the case of a thunderstorm.

• The monitor may be opened and repaired only by a qualified person.

CAUTION! HIGH VOLTAGES CAN KILL! If repairs should be necessary, consult your local dealer.

• Always switch off the TV set before cleaning it.

• Do not hold the remote control directly in front of your eyes and press a button. The remote control emits infrared radiation!

• Do not place rechargeable batteries in the battery compartment of the remote control. Use only two 1.5 V dry batteries of the type LR03/AM4/AAA (Micro).

• The TV set is intended only for the reception and reproduction of picture and sound signals.

• The TV set may be operated only from a mains voltage of 230 VAC, 50/60 Hz. Australia: 240 VAC.

• Lay the power cable so that nothing stands on it and no-one can trip over it.

infrared light. You should always point the remote control unit directly at the TV set. The remote control unit may possibly interfere with other infrared devices (such as infrared headphones) within its range. Sunlight falling directly on the TV set may interfere with the operation of the remote control unit, because the TV set cannot detect the infrared signals from it. The TV set must first be switched on with the main switch before the remote control unit can be used.

• Press the „MENU“ key to open the TV menu.

• Press the green key to open the menu „Timer“.

• Use the cursor control key to select the file card „Set time“.

• Press the „OK“ key twice.

• In the setting window, enter the current time with the numeric keys.

The local time offset is the difference between the local time and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). This time difference and any necessary switching between summer time and winter

time are normally detected automatically by the TV set.

They need to be set manually only if the TV set does not detect them automatically.

22.1 AV playback

AV playback

(Devices with switching voltage) AV playback is the term for playing back videocassettes, DVDs, etc. from an AV device for viewing them on a TV set. In order to view the pictures, you must programme your TV set so that it automatically switches to the AV programme position when a signal is received at the EURO socket to which the AV device is connected.

23. EPG - NexTView

NexTView is an Electronic Program Guide (EPG)

for all important programme providers. This EPG is transmitted by various stations and also contains the programme data for the other stations.

The TV set needs about 20 minutes to collect the large amount of data for the first time.

• On TV sets with two tuners (standard configuration) the data are collected by the second tuner (see the next page) during normal operation of the TV set. When the data have been collected, the TV set stores the EPG in a special memory. The EPG is updated regularly in this memory as long as the TV set is not switched off with the main switch.

• On TV sets with only one tuner (e.g. if your set has been converted and has only one satellite tuner):

- the set must be left tuned to the NeexTView pro-

gramme position for at least 20 minutes, or

- the data are collected during the night (between

02:30 - 03:00) while the set is in standby mode.

Not possible with an external satellite receiver!

23.1 Activating the EPG NexTView

Call the menu

The EPG function can be switched on by pressing the keys "F3" and  if an EPG programme position is defined in the menu (see below).

On all programme positions where NexTView is received, the TV set displays the following message after a short delay:

This station is sending NexTView (EPG). Save it as the EPG programme position?

• Yes • No

The TV set is asking you whether you want to use this programme position for collecting the data for the EPG NexTView.

Press the red key for "No" - this programme position is not used for receiving the NexTView data. The message is still displayed for all other programme positions where NexTView data are received.

Press the green key for "Yes" - this programme position will be used for receiving the NexTView data. The message is then not displayed for other programme

23.2 Collecting NexTView data

The EPG NexTView is transmitted by various stations and the information provided by each station may differ. You thus have a choice between several different NexTView programme guides.

• On TV sets with only one tuner (e.g. if your set has been converted and has only one satellite tuner): Switch to the NexTView programme position. Leave it on this programme position for at least 20 minutes.

• TV sets with two tuners: The TV set collects the NexTView data with the aid of its second tuner.

Special notes:

Stations which are listed in the TV station list of the TV set with an automatic logo (set automatically by the TV set) are also shown in the EPG. Stations which carry two different programmes (such as a children’s programme in the daytime and another programme in the evening) must be stored in two different programme positions.

The collection operation is interrupted or cancelled if:

- you switch the programme position

from terrestrial to SAT or vice versa;

- you call the "Picture in Picture" func-

tion;

- you open the Teletext function;

- a recording is programmed in the

menu "AV recording";

- a "timer recording" is running or will

begin within the next hour;

- the Teletext function "Subtitles" is active.

If the TV set is switched to standby mode during data collection, the text "NexTView" appears on the green display to remind you that the data-collection operation is still running.

For other upgrade kits, please consult your local dealer.

Important note for users of the TV set:

Unauthorised modification of this TV set, in particular changing the high voltage or using a CRT of a different type, can result in the emission of high levels of X-ray radiation. TV sets modified in this manner no longer conform to the official approval for operation and may not be used.

28. Connecting headphones

The headphone socket is located on the front of the TV set. On many models, you must first open a cover by pressing at the marked location in order to expose the socket.

We recommend using headphones with an impedance of at least 32 Ω. The use of headphones with a lower impedance (about 8 Ω) will reduce the dynamic range.

The headphone volume can be saved as one of the standard settings. In the case of dual-language programmes, you can listen to either sound channel 1 or 2 on the headphones, regardless of the channel selected for the loudspeakers.

29. Cleaning the TV set

Always switch off the TV set with the main

☞

switch before cleaning it!

Clean the case of the TV set only with a soft, dry (or slightly moistened) cloth. Do not use aggressive detergents or scouring powders, since these could damage the paintwork and/or remove the inscriptions. Clean the screen with a moist window leather.

30. Glossary

AV programme position

AV devices have one or more sockets, depending on the model. These sockets are labelled on the device, for example with AV1. These sockets can be selected on the AV device and the selected socket is shown on the display of the AV device, for example A1 for socket AV1.

Comb filter

In conventional TV sets, the luminance signal and the chrominance information are separated from each other with a frequency separating filter. However, this means that a certain amount of the luminance signal is still included in the colour signal and can cause interference (cross-luminance) and that a certain amount of the colour signal causes interference in the luminance signal (crosscolour). The comb filter prevents these problems.

Just like a comb, this filter extracts the colour signal, which is located in the gaps of the luminance signal, without affecting the bandwidth of the luminance signal. The result is a TV picture with the maximum possible resolution and without cross-colour or cross-luminance interference.

Code

The settings for the childlock are protected by a 4digit numerical code which you can set a desired. Write down or remember the code you define. If you forget the code, ask your local dealer for assistance

CTI

The CTI (Colour Transient Improvement) circuit is an electronic circuit which ensures precise transitions between differently coloured parts of the picture, preventing the colour smearing which could otherwise occur. The CTI function is active for programmes received via the antenna input and for picture signals from AV devices.

30. Glossary

Forced mono

In some cases, your TV set may switch from mono to stereo during a programme, although the station is not transmitting a stereo signal. This is normally due to the local reception conditions. If you activate „forced mono“ for the selected programme positions, all programmes will be reproduced in mono, regardless of the received signal.

Noise reduction

This setting can be used to improve the quality of pictures with „snow“ or other noise resulting from poor reception conditions. Depending on the amount of interference, various correction facilities are available and the noise reduction can be set individually for each programme position.

Panorama

The panorama function permits "normal" programmes in 4:3 format to be adapted to the 16:9 format of the CRT. This is done by expanding the width of the picture to fill the entire width of the screen.

Rotation

This function can be used to compensate for the Earth’s magnetic field. It may be needed when the TV set is first installed, or if the TV set is moved to a different location, and the picture is not aligned horizontally on the screen.

Stereo wide

When receiving programmes with stereo sound, the physical distance between the loudspeakers can be increased artificially to improve the stereo effect.

Standard settings

Standard settings are all values (such as brightness, volume, chrominance, etc.) which are the same for all programme positions.

30. Glossary

Spatial sound

An artificial stereo effect can be generated for mono transmissions.

SRS WOW

WOW, a special combination of audio technologies from SRS Labs, Inc., creates a unique listening experience, complete with deep rich bass, and fuller, better sounding audio. When the WOW function is activated, it restores many of the spatial cues and ambient information that are lost during standard stereo playback.

In normal TV mode, the WOW function can be preselected with the yellow key (sound functions) and then switched on or off with the

key.

You can switch the tone settings between „Normal“ and „Speech“.

Volume correction

The sound signals from different stations may vary considerably in their volume. You can correct the volume of a particularly loud or soft station so that it is similar to that of the other stations. The volume correction remains active even when the standard values are recalled.

VCR

The VCR function ensures optimum picture quality when playing back recordings from tape devices such as camcorders and video recorders.
