Hints for use of the Operating Instructions

Do not be put off by the size of the Operating Instructions. Initially, it is
sufficient to read the instructions in Sections 1.1, 2 and 4.
In order to familiarise yourself with the TV set and its many functions,
we recommend that you read the Operating Instructions step by step,
carrying out the described actions on your TV set as you do so.
This method, often called "learning by doing", is the easiest way
of learning how to execute the various functions.

Do not be afraid to change the settings in the various menus (the
TV menu, the TV station table, programming of the function keys,
etc.). If you make any changes to these settings, the TV set reac­ts immediately, but the changes are not yet stored. After each
change in a menu, a red box is displayed at the bottom right of
the screen, asking if you want to save the changes.

• If you want to save the changes, press the OK key to do so.

• If you are not sure, or if you do not want to save a changed set­ting, press the MENU key and then the TV key to exit from the
menu without saving the new settings.

We have made every effort to provide a detailed table of contents
and a comprehensive index to help you to find the information
you need. The Section "Glossary" contains explanations of
various technical terms used in the manual.

In the descriptions of the various functions, the left-hand column
shows which keys you must press in order to see the screen dis­play given in the centre column. Do not press the keys too quick­ly. It may occur that the TV set will not recognise the next key you
press and may therefore not display the menu shown in the cen­tre column but something completely different. The right-hand
column of the function description provides additional informati­on which may be useful but is not absolutely necessary for exe­cution of the function.

If you comply with these hints, you should have no problems in
the operation of your TV set.

The remote control sends commands to the TV set with the aid of infrared light. For this reason, you should always point the remote control at
the TV set for reliable operation. Use of the remote control may interfere with the operation of other devices or systems controlled which use
infrared light (such as infrared headphones).

The television must be switched on or in standby mode (ON/OFF key depressed) when it is to be operated by remote control. Always point the
remote control in the direction of the TV for operation. A pilot lamp starts to flash as soon as a key on the remote control handset is pressed.

Disposal of batteries
Do not dispose of spent batteries with domestic rubbish.
Please return spent batteries to collecting points should they exist in your country !

Connecting the aerial

Standard SAT and terrestrial station aerial sockets are fitted at
the rear of the TV.

Thunderstorms represent a danger for all electrical appliances! If
lightning strikes the power line or the aerial, the TV may be dama­ged even if it is switched off. Therefore, always unplug the mains
lead AND aerial during thunderstorms.

If the TV is not going to be used for an extended period of time, for
instance when on holiday, then disconnect the set both from the
mains and the aerial.

1. Setting up and connecting

Setting up

When selecting a suitable place for the TV, be sure that no bright
light or sunlight falls on the screen. Light may cause reflections
and impair the brilliance of the image.

The best viewing distance is five times the picture tube diagonal,
e.g. about 3.5 m for TV sets with a 70 cm screen.

TV sets require adequate ventilation. The ventilation
slots at the rear of the set should therefore never be
covered by curtains, doilies, newspapers or similar
objects. Likewise, all slots at the bottom of the set
must be freely accessible so that the intake of air is
not impaired in any way

Do not set up the TV near a radiator as this would
impair adequate cooling.

Do not place

-

burning candles or

- flower vases filled with water
on top of the TV set.
Hot wax and liquids destroy the electrical components
and jeopardize the electrical safety of the set

Mains voltage

Plug the mains lead into a wall
outlet. The TV set is equipped for
230 V ac (Australia 240 V ac).

If you place the set in a wall unit, leave sufficient space
on all sides so that the air can circulate freely.

Your TV set is intended for use in dry rooms. If you wish
to use it occasionally outdoors, be sure to protect it
against any kind of moisture (rain, splashes, dew, etc.).

This TV set can manage up to 225 TV programme positions. If you are connected to a cable network or use a terrestrial aerial, you will not need all
of these positions at the moment. If, however, you have a SAT upgrade kit installed, the number of programmes can increase drastically. We do not
know how many programmes will be available in the future. For this reason, we have provided plenty of programme positions in reserve. For
selection of the desired programme position, we have invented a simple input method which saves you having to enter three digits for each position.

The first digit you enter is normally the hundreds digit. If, however, you have less than 100 programmes stored, this digit auto­matically moves to the tens position. If you have less than ten programmes stored, it moves to the units position.

Example: you have stored programmes in positions 1 to 35 and you want to select position 3. Press the keys and  or

simply and
confirm with . Programme position 4 can be selected by simply entering , since there are no programme positions higher than 39.
Further examples are shown in the following text.

2. Select programme position

25 (only the first 99 pro­gramme positions in the
station table are occupied)

Only the programme positions 0-99 in the station table
may be occupied if a programme is to be selected by
pressing two numeric keys.

After a programme has been selected successfully, a box
containing the programme position number, the time and the
current sound mode (e.g. stereo) is displayed on the screen.

To select a programme position with only a single-digit
number, you must enter before the related digit,
e.g. and ; alternatively, you can press and
then press .

After a programme has been selected successfully, a box
containing the programme position number, the time and the

2.1 TV menu and operator help

Operator Help: Call/exit

TV menu: Call/exit

Operator Help shows the functions of the individual
keys when in TV mode.

The A, B, and C function keys can be programmed by
the user. Consequently their functions can differ to
those shown in the adjoining picture.

Operator Help can be called for each menu displayed
on the screen. (Example: Operator Help with displayed
TV menu).

The individual menu lines are selected with the coloured
keys of the remote control, to open the corresponding
submenu. Keys not enhanced in white or colour on the
displayed menu have no function in the current
operating state.

Menu control of the TV, and the versatility of the system, ensure that supposed complicated settings and entries are made easily and clearly
comprehensible for everyone. Operator Help can be called with the key when in TV mode. Operator Help indicates the functions of the
individual keys.

All settings are entered by way of different submenus. Simply call Operator Help with the key should you encounter difficulties in entering
the different equipment configurations or if problems arise in operating the TV. Operator Help is specifically matched to the corresponding

menu

and functions as a reminder when settings are entered or programmed.

Settings in the submenus can be changed
with the keys.

Press the key to confirm and store the
new setting.

Press the key to move back by one step
within the TV menu.

With this key, you can switch back and forth between
the last two programme positions you selected.

Example:
You are watching a programme on ITN; during the
commercials, you switch to BBC with the aid of the
numeric keys

 . .

You can now switch back and forth between ITN and
BBC by pressing the key.

3. Presetting TV stations

In the sub-menu Standard, you can select the colour and/or the transmission standard. The TV set normally recognises the colour stan­dards (PAL, SECAM, NTSC) automatically, but the transmission standard must always be set manually. The multi-standard upgrade kit is
required for the additional transmission standards L, I, D/K and NTSC 4.43. In exceptional cases, the colour standard may not be recogni­sed; if this happens, you must set it as described below.

Example:

The colour standard „NTSC“ is to be set.

Press this key on the remote

control....

The screen displays Explanation

The automatic function of the submenu „Standard“ is
preset in the factory.

The settings PAL, SECAM and NTSC need to be selecte

d
manually only if the automatic detection function does
not recognize the colour standard correctly.

☞ The transmission standard must always be set

manually.

The various standards can be selected with the
keys.

In this example, the transmission standard NTSC is
selected.

The multi-standard upgrade kit 031 NC 1030 (optional
extra) is required for the reception of the transmission
standards L, I, D/K and NTSC 3,58.

3. Presetting TV stations

Direct channel entry/

station search

When the TV set leaves the factory, there are no stations programmed. Depending on where you live, the stations have different channel
numbers. There are three possible ways of programming the stations:

a) Direct channel input b) Station search c) the Autostore function

1. Call the station table and
channel type survey

2. Select the type of channel
(e.g. standard channel)

3. Enter the channel number
(Example: Standard channel

06) or start station search

With direct channel entry it is necessary to know the
type of channel and the channel number.

If type and number of channel are not known, you can
scan through the entire reception range with the
search function to locate stations.

The station table lists all the preset stations.
These stations can be changed at any time.
The cursor always highlights the type of channel

currently preset in the given programme position.
For the search function it is advisable to switch to a

vacant programme position.

Two types of channels are offered in the box with the
yellow frame. Select the desired channel type with the
related coloured keys.

Once the channel type has been selected, a channel
number is displayed for the highlighted item if a station
is stored in this programme position. If no station is
stored, two dashes are displayed.

„SAT freq.“ and „Aerial control“ can be selected only if
a SAT upgrade kit is installed in the TV set.

With direct channel entry, the station table is briefly
faded out when the channel number is entered, and
the selected station is displayed.

The station search proceeds from the displayed
channel number in a forward sequence with the
key, and in a reverse sequence with the key.
Search proceeds from the lower channel area
upwards or downwards when two lines are displayed.
The search stops when a station has been found.

Proceed as described in step 4 if the located station is
to be stored.

Press the or key if the located station is not to be
stored so that the search can be continued.

Complete fine tuning if station reception is not clear
(see Section 3.2).

3.3 Allocating a station logo

A logo of up to 8 characters is provided for each station via the VPS signal. The station RTL 2, for example, receives the logo RTL 2.
Manual logo allocation is not necessary with most stations. The corresponding station logo appears a few seconds after the picture when

a station is selected by direct channel entry. However, an automatic logo only appears for stations which transmit a VPS signal.

1. Call the logo menu

2. Select the first character

3. Move the cursor to the
second position and select
the second character

The logo is automatically displayed if the selected pro­gramme position already has a logo. The field remains
blank if a logo has not yet been allocated.

Automatically identified logos may consist of up to
8 characters. Manually allocated logos are limited
to 5 characters.

Select the desired character (in our example the letter
R) with the keys , , .

This will overwrite any existing logo.

The cursor is moved within the logo field with the blue
key.

Select the desired character (in our example the letter
T) with the keys , , .

Repeat this procedure to enter the entire logo.

After input of the desired logo, press the key to
store it.

The programmed logo automatically appears in the
station table.

Any existing logo will be overwritten.
