Foreword

Contents

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.

5x cm

• 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

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.

3. Remote control unit

21

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 equip-

		ment (such as radios, cassette players,
		CD players, amplifiers, etc.) made by
		Metz or various other manufacturers.
		The remote control unit transmits com-
		mands 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 inter-
		fere 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 infra-
		red 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:

	22

•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

Never load rechargeable batteries into the battery compartment of the remote control unit!

Only use two 1.5V LR03/AM4 batteries, size AAA.
