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 8 of the
Operating Instructions before
putting your new TV set into service.
• 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.
5 x cm
cm
y
• 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.
• 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 suffi-
y
cient 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.

3. Remote control unit
The remote control unit transmits commands to the TV set with the aid of infra-
red 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.
The most important keys in normal
use
ON:
with programme position 1 or the programmed initial programme position
selected.
OFF (standby)
Never load rechargeable batteries
into the battery compartment of the
remote control unit!
Only use two 1.5V LR03/AM4 batteries, size AAA.

19. 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 30 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 30 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!

The EPG function can be switched on by pressing
the keys "F3" if an EPG programme position is

19.2 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 30 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 Teletext function "Subtitles" is active.
If the TV set is switched to standby mode
while the data are being collected, the
green LED remains on to remind you that
this function is still running.
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" function;
- 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;

• DVB-S digital upgrade kit 027 NL 1119 (CI)
for the reception of digital TV and radio stations
from a satellite. The upgrade kit is installed in the
TV set and no additional remote control is needed.
• DVB-T upgrade kit 056 NH 1114 (CI)
for the reception of digital TV and radio stations
transmitted by terrestrial transmitters, which can
be received with a rod antenna or a roof-mounted

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.

30. 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.
31. 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.

32. 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.
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.
Comb filter
2)
2) Available only on TV sets
which are equipped with this
option.
54
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.
32. Glossary
Tone settings
You can switch the tone settings between
„Normal“ and „Speech“.
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.
Standard settings
Standard settings are all values (such as brightness, volume, chrominance, etc.) which are the
same for all programme positions.
Panorama
2)
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.
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.
Rotation
2)
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.
VCR
The VCR function ensures optimum picture quality

Forced mono
In some cases, your TV set may switch from mono

„forced mono“ for the selected programme positions, all programmes will be reproduced in mono,
regardless of the received signal.
