Foreword

Dear customer, thank you for selecting a Metz

LCD TV set. 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.

This LCD TV is HD-ready and supports HDTV broadcasts.

The HD ready Logo is a Trademark of EICTA.

• 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 three times the screen diagonal, i.e.

- Approximately 2 m (6 ft) for 26" screens

- Approximately 2.4 m (8 ft) for 32" screens

- Approximately 2.8 m (10 ft) for 37" 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.

• 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.

• Only use Metz bases as a stand for the LCD TV.

• Use the Metz wall bracket (item no. 604 99

0286.A1) 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.

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.

The remote control sends commands to the TV set by means of an infrared signal. You must point it towards the TV set when 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 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.

Normally, the TV set will determine the current date and time from the Teletext signals of the currently selected station (providing this station sends Teletext).

Note: For this the device must be turned on with

the mains switch.

If this is not the case, or if an incorrect date or time is displayed, you can set the date and time manually.

In almost all cases, you will not need to do this. Even the changeover between winter time and summer time is executed automatically.

Setting the time and date manually:

• Press the "MENU" key to open the TV menu.

• Press the green key to open the "Timer" menu.

• Press the numeric key

 to

select "Time settings".

• Press the "OK" key and then, in the setting window, enter the current time with the numeric keys.

•

You can then start the internal clock precisely by pressing the "OK" key when the time you have entered is reached.

• Press the numeric key  to select "Current date".

• In the setting window, enter the date with the numeric keys.

• Press the "OK" key to save the settings.

• Press the "EXIT" key to close the TV menu. The local time offset is the difference between

the local time where the TV set is installed and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The TV set normally detects this time offset and also the additional changeover to summer time.

The time needs to be set manually only if it is not detected automatically.

This menu item is not available in a 2 ** menu.

In the menu item "Recording control", you can set a lead time and an overrun time for timer recordings.

The TV set is automatically switched to the programme position from which the recording is to be made at a time which is the number of minutes programmed as the lead time before the pro- grammed starting time for the recording.

At the end of the programmed recording time, the TV set remains set to this programme position for the period programmed as the overrun time.

For VPS recordings, the TV set is automatically switched to the programme position from which the recording is to be made at a time which is the number of minutes programmed as the VPS lead time before the programmed starting time for the recording. By default, the TV set switches to this programme position about one hour before the programmed start time for a VPS recording.

Setting the lead time, VPS lead time and overrun time

16.2 Recording Control

Application example:

You wish to record a programme received via DVB-T. The programme starts at 22:45 hours, ends at 23:40 hours and is broadcast on ITV.

Set up a "manual timer" as described in Section 17, "Special Functions 2" or set a timer with the aid of the EPG as described in Section 20.3 “Using EPG, Recording a Programme". The timer recording does not use VPS.

Set the lead time to 3 minutes and the overrun time to 10 minutes.

At the programmed start time minus the programmed lead time of three minutes, the TV set is either:

- switched on from the standby state (red LED lights) with the programme position for ITV selected, whereby the screen remains dark but the programme is sent via the EURO socket to your recorder, or

- switched to the programme position for ITV if it is already switched on.

At the programmed end of the recording (at 23:40 hours) the programme position for ITV remains selected for the programmed overrun time of 10 minutes.

It is not possible to switch to another programme position during the programmed lead and overrun times.

20. EPG

EPG (Electronic Program Guide) is an electronic TV guide covering all major channels. The guide may be made up of details from NexTView and/or DVB-SI.

The NexTView information is broadcast by various channels and also includes information for other broadcasting organizations.

DVB-SI (Digital Video Broadcasting-Service Information) is a service provided by different broadcasters. Programme details are broadcast digitally by each broadcaster exclusively for those programmes it offers.

NexTView and DVB-SI are similar in principle, but their content may differ in the detail offered.

The function is activated by pressing the button marked “EPG”.

NexTView details

Before NexTView details can be received, a new programme slot must be created in the menu. If the menu does not contain a slot for NexTView, the following text applies.

A message will appear for all slots programmed to receive NexTView:

In this way, the TV asks whether this slot should be used to compile the information for the EPG programme guide.

The signal type always refers to the input and output of the AV device.

Some AV devices may use a composite video signal (FBAS) for recording and playback operations and an RGB signal for displaying their menus.

It is not possible to make a general statement in this respect. The operating instructions of the AV device concerned may provide some indication.

If you connect such an AV device with the signal type "composite video" (FBAS) and recordings are played back correctly, but you cannot see the menu of the AV device, you must change the signal type in the menu "AV devices" to "RGB".

Setting the signal type

• Press the "MENU" key to open the TV menu.

• Press the yellow key to open the menu "AV devices".

• Use the cursor control key to select the AV device whose signal type you wish to change and press the "OK" key.

33. Cleaning the TV Set

Before cleaning the set, always switch it off with the mains switch!

Incorrect treatment and cleaning of the screen surface can cause irreparable damage to it. You should therefore always observe the following instructions for treatment and cleaning of the set.

T

reatment:

Always treat the screen surface very carefully. Take care not to damage it mechanically by

shocks, impact, scratching or scraping. Keep sharp, pointed and hard objects away from

the surface of the screen. Keep the surface of the screen clean. For cleaning the case and the screen, use only a

soft, dry cloth. For removing stubborn marks, you may moisten the cloth slightly.

Cleaning and care:

The surface of the screen may be cleaned only with a soft, dry cloth (such as a microfleece duster). If any marks cannot be removed with this dry cloth, you may moisten the cloth slightly.

Take care that no water or other liquid can enter the TV set, since this can cause serious damage to the set.

If any liquid or other foreign object (pieces of metal, etc.) enters the set, immediately disconnect the mains plug from the wall outlet.

Never insert your hands or tools into the set, since this may result in electric shocks.

Copying between AV Devices Direct recording

Opening the menu

If you wish to copy a recording from one of the AV devices connected to your TV set (such as a DVD player) to another connected AV device (such as a video recorder), you must do this by means of a direct recording operation. In this case, the signal arriving at one of the EURO sockets is redirected to the other EURO socket, from where it can be recorded.

Example: you have a DVD player and a

video recorder connected to the EURO sockets of the TV set (see Section 25).

Programming a direct recording for copying:

• Press the "AV " key and use the corresponding numeric key to select the DVD player (playback device).

• Press the F2 key. Briefly pressing F2 executes the function which is programmed for this function key (see Section 18., "Programming function keys"). Pressing and holding F2 for about three seconds displays all functions available for this function key.

• Press numeric key

 to open the

timer menu. The timer window displays the AV programme position (DVD player), the current date and a time window of two hours.

38. Glossary

AV programme position

AV devices have one or more connection sockets, depending on the model. The designations of these sockets are marked on the device (e.g. AV1).

On the AV device, you can select which socket you want to use. The selected socket is shown on the display of the AV device (e.g. A1 for socket AV1).

Code

The settings for the childlock function are protected by a four-digit code: you can enter any desired code, but you should note it for future use. If you have forgotten your code, please consult your local dealer.

Forced mono

It may happen that your TV set switches to stereo mode although the programme you are watching is not broadcast with stereo sound. This is normally due to the local reception conditions. If you set the selected programme position to "forced mono" all programmes received at this programme position are reproduced with mono sound.

Noise reduction

This function allows you to improve the picture quality of "snowy" pictures which result from poor reception conditions. Various levels of noise reduction can be selected and the settings can be made separately for each programme position.

Panorama

The panorama function can be used to expand "normal" TV programmes broadcast in the 4:3 format to fill the full width of a 16:9 screen. This is done by expanding the picture width accordingly.

93

Picture position, vertical

With widescreen films, subtitles are sometimes transmitted in the black area at the bottom of the screen. You can move the picture upwards on the screen to ensure that these subtitles remain visible.

Standard values

The standard values are the settings (such as brightness, sound volume, colour, etc.) which are the same for all programme positions.

Spatial sound

This function can be used to create an artificial stereo effect for programmes with sound in mono.

Stereo wide

For stereo broadcasts, the distance between the speakers can be increased artificially in order to achieve a wider stereo effect.

SRS-WOW

2)

WOW is an audio system developed by SRS Labs, Inc. which provides a unique listening experience. The sound becomes fuller and the bass is deeper and more voluminous.

Activation of the WOW function allows you to hear a lot of spatial and environmental audio information which is lost in normal stereo mode.

In normal TV mode, the WOW function can be preselected by pressing the yellow key and then switched on and off with the

-

+

key.

Tone settings

The tone can be set to either "Normal" or "Speech". In the setting "Speech", the bass and treble components of the sound signal are set to make speech as easy to understand as possible. The setting "Normal" is recommended for music programmes.

VCR

The VCR function provides an optimal picture quality when playing back recordings from tape devices such as camcorders or video recorders.

Volume correction

The various stations broadcast their sound at different volumes. The TV set can automatically compensate for these differences in the volume. This function remains active even if the standard sound settings are recalled.

40. Basic differences between analog terrestrial reception and DVB-T

Information for our dealers and interested customers.

In order to understand how the behaviour of DVB-T receivers differs from that of the analog terrestrial receivers used until now, two things are important: digital transmission and the simultaneous broadcasting network.

Digital transmission

A DVB transmitter does not transmit only a single programme, but a set of programmes – normally six to eight. The information for each programme – the picture, the sound and teletext – is converted into a digital format, i.e. into numerical values which are grouped together in packets. The packets of the various programmes are then transmitted sequentially in a so-called transport stream.

Further information which permits the receiver to detect and correct any errors which occur during transmission is added to this transport stream.

Example:

If the information 0 or 1 is to be transmitted, the 0 could be encoded as 000 and the 1 as 111. If one of the three digits numbers is falsified during transmission, i.e. the receiver receives, for example, 010 instead of 000, the receiver can decide that the presence of at least two zeros indicates that the intended information value was 0 and, correspondingly, that at least two ones indicates the information 1.

If two of the numbers in a block are changed, the receiver can detect that an error has occurred, but any attempt to correct this would have the wrong result.

Example:

If the information 0 is encoded as 000 and is received as 101, the receiver would assume that this should have been 111 and will then decode it, incorrectly, as 1.

To sum up: several programmes are transmitted by a

single transmitter in the form of digital packets. Additional information is transmitted to permit complete correction of a certain number of transmission errors.

Simultaneous broadcasting network

For DVB-T, the programmes are not transmitted on a modulated carrier frequency; instead, one channel with a width of 8 MHz contains 8,192 individual carrier frequencies.

Some of the signals reaching the receiver come directly from the transmitter, others are signals which have been reflected from obstacles in the vicinity and some are even those transmitted by other transmitters. Normally, these signals reinforce each other. In extreme cases, however, if they are out of phase and have the same amplitude, the signals can cancel each other out:

Addition

Cancellation

In most cases, only a few of the 8,192 carrier frequencies will be fully cancelled out and the information which is lost can be reconstructed by the error-correction function of the receiver. Reception becomes impossible only if very strong reflections cause the loss of too many carrier frequencies.

The phase relationship between two signals depends on the path taken by these signals on their way to the receiver.

If a rooftop antenna is used, almost all of the signals reach the receiver by the same path.

If an indoor antenna is used, the signals reaching the receiver may have been reflected from

- objects outside the building,

- objects such as thermally insulated

windows (coated with metal films),

- reinforced-concrete parts of the

building,

- persons in the vicinity or

- the furnishings of the room.

The signals may also have come from a different transmitter.

In such cases, the reception quality depends not only on the actual signal strength, but also on how many carrier frequencies are cancelled out.

Such problems can often be corrected by adjusting the position and the alignment of the antenna. In general, moving the antenna a few centimetres to one side, or tilting or turning the antenna, can improve reception far more than the use of an additional antenna amplifier.

Simply moving the antenna a few centimetres to one side can often cause the signals to be added together instead of cancelling each other out.

Calling the menu

MENU

The settings of the satellite antenna system must be entered in the menu "Configuration" so that the TV set knows them.

These settings should always be made in the order in which they are shown in the right-hand column of the menu, starting at the bottom, i.e. LNB supply voltage, DiSEqC system, etc..

LNB supply voltage

The LNB voltages for selection of the polarisation (hori-

zontal H = 18V, vertical V = 14V) are already set and do not normally need to be changed.

If the cable to the satellite antenna is very long, the voltages reaching the LNB may be too low. In such cases, the voltages can be increased by 1 V by activating the linecompensation function.

If any changes should be necessary, they can be made as follows.

Changing the settings

•

Press the MENU key to open the TV menu.

• Press the red key to open the menu "Configuration".

• Press the appropriate numeric key (in this example



to select "DVB-S".

• Press the OK key and, in the setting window, use the

-

+

key to switch the LNB supply voltage

on or off.

• Press the Ok key to confirm the new setting.

• Press the EXIT key to close the TV menu.

If the TV set is connected to a community antenna, the LNB supply voltage must always be set to "Off".
