About this manual

This manual is common to several TV
models. Therefore, the model you bought
may not support some of the functions
or settings described hereinafter.

About set-up

To ensure your own safety and safe operation
of the equipment, observe the following
instructions thoroughly.
TV sets require sufficient ventilation to
prevent their components from overheating,
which will cause failure. Do not block the
ventilation openings at the rear. If you place
your TV set in a specific unit, make sure
there is enough space for unhindered air
circulation. Do not place the TV set in the
close vicinity of a heater.

The TV set has been designed for use in dry
rooms. Should you exceptionally operate it in
the open air (example: on the balcony, in the
veranda or tent), you must absolutely protect it
against moisture (dew, rain, splash water).
Prior to put up into operation a cold TV set in
a warm room, you should wait until the
possibly misted-up screen has dried by itself.
In no case should you dismantle your TV set
yourself.
By the end of your TV evening or when away
from home for a longer period, we recommend
that you turn off the TV set with the
On/Off-switch.
Even when the On/Off-switch is in the
Off-position, your TVset is not fully
disconnected from the mains. To deenergize the
set completely, the mains plug must be pulled out.

In the following cases, we recommend that
you pull out the mains connector:

1. During a thunderstorm. In such a case, it is
advisable that you also disconnect the TV
set from the aerial socket.

2. When odour or smoke emanates from the set.

Further information:
The TV set shielding is sufficient to prevent
X-radiation to the exterior. The accelerator
voltage does not exceed 26 kV.
Any operation performed by a non skilled
person, change of high voltage or replacement
of the teletube by a model not complying with
the manufacturer specification are likely to
cause considerable increase in X-radiation.
A TV set modified in such a way no longer
complies with the manufacturer specification
and shall not be put in operation again.

About cleaning

The screen is to be cleaned with liquid glass
cleaners.

• Never use abrasive products.

• Clean the front side and the housing with a

soft cloth soaked with neutral cleaner. Do
not use solvents, such as white spirit or
alcohol-based cleaning products since they
are likely to deteriorate your equipment.

• At regular intervals, clean the ventilation

grids at the rear of the TV set.

About degaussing

The terrestrial magnetic field may have an
influence on your TV set. This influence is
revealed by the coloured spots, which appear
on the screen.
Should this be the case:

• Turn the equipment off by means of the

On/Off-switch.

• Wait about one hour before switching the

set on again.
This procedure performs automatic
degaussing of the screen. Should there still be
coloured spots on the screen, repeat the
operation.

Do not place speakers in
close vicinity of the TV set
since the electromagnet of
the speakers may cause
coloured spots to appear on
the screen.

Connections

The mains socket (1) is for supplying the TV
set with power.
This TV set is suitable for use on A.C. mains
supply, 220-240 V - 50 Hz only.
It must not be connected to D.C. mains.
Do NOT under any circumstances plug the
severed plug into any mains socket as this
could result in electric shock.

The aerial socket (2) is for connecting an
external antenna or equipment fitted with a
modulator (VCR, satellite receiver, etc.).

When connecting additional equipment to the
aerial socket, you must assign a channel
number to it. To do so, switch the external
equipment on, then search for its modulator
channel on the TV set, assign the channel
number found to the equipment (for SECAM
VCR's, select channel number 99) and store.
From now on, every time you want to use the
external equipment connected, you must
select the channel number assigned to it.
VCR's without an integrated modulator do
not require this setting.

The SCART socket (3) enables you to
connect a VCR or camcorder (VHS, 8 mm,
S-VHS or Hi-8), Canal+ decoder
or videogame console.

The type of connection shown on the opposite
is highly recommended, given that it provides
improved picture quality.
To operate the external equipment connected,
you must select its AV socket by means of the

av

key. With certain equipment, selection of
proper AV socket is performed automatically.
When connecting an S-Video equipment,
make sure you press the

av

key twice.

The Audio/Video sockets (4*) allow you to
connect a VHS- or 8 mm-camcorder. To
visualise the pictures from the camcorder,
select the proper socket with the

av

key.

To prevent the picture and sound quality from
deterioration, you should avoid switching on
simultaneously two external appliances
connected via the SCART and the
Audio/Video sockets (4).

The headphone socket (4*) is for connecting
head- or earphones.

A fused plug must be fitted with a 5Afuse approved by
ASTRA or BSI to BS 1362 and fuse covers must
always be securely replaced.
If you TV set does not work, the fuse may be blown.

Note : The mains lead of the TV set is fitted with a
moulded plug. Because it contains safety components
we cannot recommend re-wiring.
