Foreword

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.

Your METZ-WERKE

• 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.

• 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.

• 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

y

2. Safety notes

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.
240 VAC in Australia only

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

The Metz remote control unit RG 12 can
be used to remotely control all Metz TV
sets with the type designation "TH" (see
the Operating Instructions of the TV set
or look at the label on the back of the
set) or later models (such as TK, TL, ...)
as well as video recorders VCR1 and
VCR 2, DVD players and HiFi equip­ment (such as radios, cassette players,
CD players, amplifiers, etc.) made by
Metz or various other manufacturers.

The remote control unit transmits com­mands to the TV set with the aid of 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.

The remote control unit is programmed
as follows before it leaves the factory:

• TV Metz TV sets with the type designation "TH"

• VCR1 Metz video recorders with remote
control unit RH51

• VCR2 Metz video recorders with remote
control unit RF52

• DVD Metz DVD players with remote
control unit RG/RH374

• HiFi Metz HiFi CD receiver HE 11 with remote
control unit F11

1. Programming the remote con­trol unit for control of your
equipment

In order to remotely control your consumer
electronics equipment, you must program­me each of the various levels of the remote
control unit with a 3-digit code.

• TV (TV-Gerät)

The TV level is already programmed
for Metz TV sets with the type designa­tion "TH". This programming cannot
be changed.

• VCR 1 (Video recorder 1)

VCR 2 (Video recorder 2)
DVD-Player
HiFi (e.g. amplifier, tuner, tape, etc.)
The remote control unit must be pro­grammed with a code from the code
list for each level you want to use.

Note the factory settings (Page 6)
and the list of available codes at the
end of these Operating Instructions.

1.1 Programming the codes for

VCR and DVD

When you select the steps a)...c) ,you
have about 15 seconds to continue
with the next step. If you do not do so
within this time, the unit automatically

a) Use the Select key to select the desired

level. The coloured LED for the cur­rently selected level lights.

b)

Press the keys and F1 together and
hold them until the LED blinks twice.

c) Enter the desired code (see the code

list) with the numeric keys. If this code
is accepted, the LED again blinks twi-

ce. If the code does not exist in the
table, the LED lights for about two
seconds.

1.2 Programming the codes for
CD Player, Tuner and Tape

When you select the steps a)...c) ,you
have about 15 seconds to continue

c) Press the F1 key: the LED blinks once.
d) Enter the desired code (see the code

list) with the numeric keys. If this code
is accepted, the LED again blinks twi­ce. If the code does not exist in the
table, the LED lights for about two
seconds.

1.4 Station search

Follow the instructions for programming
the code for VCR, DVD, CD, tuner, tape
as far as the step where the code num­ber is entered. Then enter the three-digit
code number "001" for the station
search. The LED blinks twice to acknow­ledge the input. Then press and hold the
"Station-search" key (which depends on
the operating level; see the table on
pages 10 and 11) until the device stops
or is switched off (a STOP or OFF com­mand is issued automatically every 1.5
seconds).

Release the "Station search" key and
press the "Select" key to confirm that you
want to execute a station search (the
code which was found is saved).

After completion of the station search, or
when all code numbers have been inter­rogated, the corresponding LED blinks
five times.

2. Determining which code is
already programmed (read­out mode)

When you select the steps a)...e) ,you
have about 15 seconds to continue
with the next step. If you do not do so
within this time, the unit automatically
returns to the TV level.

a) In order to determine which code is

☞

programmed for a level, first select the
level as described in section 1.1, steps
a) and b).

b) Enter



on the numeric keys. The
LED blinks twice to acknowledge your
input.

c) Press numeric key (for the first digit

of the code). The LED now blinks the
number of times corresponding to the
programmed digit (if, for example, the
LED blinks three times, the digit 3 is
programmed).

d) Press numeric key (for the second

digit of the code). The LED now blinks
the number of times corresponding to
the programmed digit (if, for exam­ple, the LED does not blink, the digit 0
is programmed).

e) Press numeric key (for the third

digit of the code). The LED now blinks
the number of times corresponding to
the programmed digit (if, for example,
the LED blinks seven times, the digit 7
is programmed).

In this example, the currently programm­ed code is thus

  

If you lose count while reading out the
code, simply start again at step 2c).
