• 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 best viewing distance is five times
the screen diagonal, i.e.
- Approximately 2 m (6.3 ft) for 26"
screens
- Approximately 2.4 m (7.6 ft) for 32"
screens
- Approximately 2.8 m (9 ft) for 37"
screens
- Approximately 3.2 m (10.3 ft) for
42" screens
• 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.
• 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.
• Only use Metz bases as a stand for the
LCD TV.
• Use the Metz wall bracket (item no.
604 99 0286.A2) or a suitable OmniMount wall bracket to hang the LCD TV
on the wall. For an OmniMount wall
bracket, you also need the Metz adapter plate 013ZM1091.
• Strong tobacco consumption at the
installation location of the LCD TV can
lead to nicotine and soot deposits
behind the panel glass and thus to an
impairment of the image quality. Such
deposits can only be removed by a
specialist. In extreme cases the panel
may be damaged permanently,
which may require to replace the panel.
The cleaning and / or the replacement
of the panel is not covered by warranty claims.
1.1 Proper use
This TV set is exclusively designed for the
reception and replay of picture and
sound signals.
The TV set is designed for dry rooms
(living rooms and offices).
The room climate should be in a range
from +5°C to +35°C with 75% air humidity.
The TV set must not be used in rooms
with higher air humidity (e.g. bathroom,
sauna, etc.).
4
The TV set must not be used in rooms
with a high concentration of dust (e.g. a
workshop).
If, as an exception, you operate the TV
set outdoors, then please make sure that
it is protected against moisture (rain,
water spray, dew).

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.
• 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 230-240V VAC,
50 Hz. Australia: 240 VAC.
• For maintenance and repair work, the
power plug or the power-cord input of the
TV represents a means to disconnect the
device from the mains and must therefore
be kept in a usable state in line with applicable standards.
•
Lay the power cable so that nothing
stands on it and no-one can trip over it.
• Do not display still images, logos, 4:3
pictures with stripes etc. over an extended period. These still images can
result in marks on the screen.

3. The Remote Control
The remote control sends commands to
the TV set by means of an infrared signal.
You must point it towards the TV set when
Ǽ
using it. Note that the remote control may
interfere with the operation of other devices which use infrared signals (such as
infrared headphones).
Sunlight falling directly on the TV set may
interfere with the operation of the remote control, since the TV set cannot detect the infrared
i
signals from the remote control under these
conditions. The TV set must be switched on
with the main power switch before it can be
controlled with the remote control.

Select power options
Three different power options can be set in the
“Power options” menu option.
Eco Mode
The “Eco Mode” setting is a good compromise
between energy consumption and picture quality.
In addition, the TV set switches to stand-by mode
if no buttons are pressed for 4 hours. “Eco Mode”
is the preferred setting for normal home operation.
Presentation
The “Presentation” setting is optimised for presentation rooms; it involves higher energy consumption, however. Automatic change-over to stand-by
mode is not enabled.
Picture quality
In this mode, all controls can be used for picture
maximisation in order to meet the needs of all
individual conditions.

Picture profile adjustment
Picture profiles are a combination of very special picture
parameters that make it possible to always create the best
picture reproduction quality for different types of programmes or for replaying from different video sources.
The “Standard” picture profile is a good compromise for
all types of transmission, and is set at the factory. However,
in order to obtain the maximum picture reproduction quality, it is useful to assign the appropriate picture profile to a
specific application.
If you are technically inclined,
you also have the possibility
of adjusting each individual
picture profile yourself, as
well as to create a separate
additional picture profile
according to your individual
taste.
