It is advisable, before connecting the PC to the TV set, to configure the resolution of the
graphics card such as to ensure the format conforms to a type supported by the TV set.
The optimal result (a full-screen image at the best possible resolution) can be obtained when
you operate the panel at its original resolution (1920*1080). The precise parameters can be
found in the technical data (Point 16). Your TV set will transmit this resolution to the PC via
DDC. Unfortunately, it is not guaranteed that the driver of the graphics card will accept the
same.
To set a specific resolution for your graphics card, please read the instruction manual for the
operation system of your PC. With Windows, this setting is usually found via the
Start menu -> Settings -> Control Panel -> DIsplay -> Settings.
23
Please note that due to the many graphics cards available it is impossible to rule out potential compatibility problems between the graphics card used and the HDTV which means that
e.g. certain resolutions cited in the technical data may be either unusable or only usable to a
limited extent.
4.13 Mains power connection
The LCD TV set should only be connected to the mains (230 V / 50 Hz) when the device

reader or insert a CI module with a valid Smartcard into the slot intended for that purpose:
> Insert the CONAX Smartcard into the card slot of the integrated card reader. (gold-
en chip facing the front when in the position of insertion)
or
> Insert a CI module with the upper side showing to the rear into the slot.
> Insert the Smartcard into the card slot of the CI module.
Be careful to ensure that the gold-colored chip of the Smartcard is evident on the
rear side when in the position of insertion.
> If an encoded program is now selected, your TV set automatically verifies the CI slot
as well as the card reader and shows the program in unencoded form, provided a
valid Smartcard for this program is present in the card reader or a matching CI module is present in the CI slot with a valid Smartcard included.
Special functions
For specific program positions, particular special functions are offered. Via these multifeed
channels, for example, you can select various types of sports broadcasts (e.g. the Bundesliga football), change the sound channels (e.g. stadium/commentary) or the camera angles
(Formula 1).
In addition, you can select the desired start time for your choice of film on certain channels.
6.5.1 Simultaneous reception of two encrypted programs
With your TV set, it is also possible to receive two different encoded programs at the same
time with only one CI module and just one valid Smartcard.
However, this is only possible when you use a “Dual-Decrypt” set-up CI module (see details
of the CI module manufacturers), whereby both desired programs are broadcast over the
same channel or transponder (see Points 6.4.4 and 17) and the CI Dual-decoding based on
Point 8.4.5.1 is correctly selected.
6.5.2 Optional channels
Certain programs give you the chance to try optional channels. These functions make it possible for you, e.g. for a sports broadcast, to freely select from a variety of different camera
angles (Formula 1) or to switch between different sporting venues (Bundesliga football). If a
program is available via optional channels, this will be indicated in the screen selection via
the infobox.

6.14 Timer management
The HDTV possesses the following listed timer functions:
1. Hard disk timer
This function allows your TV set to be switched on and off, in order to record desired programs on the hard disk, e.g. when you are outside.
If the device has been switched on via the hard disk timer, the LCD panel remains off.
2. Video recorder timer
The video recorder timer means your TV set can be switched on and off, in order to record
a desired program on an external recording device, such as a video or DVD recorder, e.g.
when you are out. Be careful to note that you must also program your video/DVD recorder in
this case in order to record your program.
If the device has been switched on via the video recorder timer, the LCD panel remains off.

6.14.4 Timer settings (lead time or follow-up time)
During the EPG timer programming, see Point 6.13.7.2, the TV set receives the data of the
selected program automatically from the EPG data. This means precise information concerning the start and end times of the program is transmitted. However, it frequently happens that the selected program often finishes slightly earlier or starts somewhat later than
specified. In this case, the recorded program will not include either the beginning or the end.
To avoid this problem, you can specify extra lead time or follow-up times by specifying these
figures in minutes. The timer will then start earlier than the lead time and end following the
input follow-up time, as specified in the EPG data.
>Access the menu settings as described in Point 6.14.
> Use the up/down arrow keys to mark the timer settings line and confirm with
OK.

to include in the playlist.
> Press the green function key PLS +, to insert the file or folder into the playlist.
6.17.7.2 Creating external MP3 playback lists
It is also possible to create playback lists e.g. on the PC and subsequently copy these, as
described in Point 7.3.2.1 (Copying music), to the hard disk of the HDTV. The important provisos here are:
- The MP3 file/folder structure of the title/s, which are to be recorded as part of a playl-
ist, must be identically present on both the PC and the HDTV.
- The playlists must be created with related entries of the working directory. That
means that the entry should only include the MPS track or folder, in which the MPS
track is found. (No drive letters)
54
- The entries must not include “\”. Since the majority of programs used to create playl-
ists, however, do contain these in the entries, you must check these using a word-
processing program. If “\” is present, then this must be replaced by “/”. (e.g. by using
the search and replace function of the wordprocessing program)
- The playlists must be stored in the format “pls” or “m3u”.

7 Hard disk operation
The HDTV is equipped with a permanently integrated hard disk device. Thanks to the hard
disk and the PVR function (PVR = Personal Video Recorder) you no longer need to use
any external equipment for recording (e.g. Video or DVD recorders). The recording capacity depends on the data volume of the materials broadcast and also on the size of the hard
disk. Any modification unauthorized by TechniSat is prohibited and will lead to all warranty
being void.
Hard disk recordings of programs from sources of DVB-S, DVB-C, DVB-T and Analog CT
as well as external sources EuroAV 1, EuroAV 2 and Video/S-Video can be handled. In the
process, provided they are broadcast, additional sound channels in additional to the normal
audio and video data, as well as recorded video text and subtitle data, can be recorded.
These features can be accessed during the subsequent playback, as described in Points
6.7, 6.8 and 6.9.
7.1 Recording
The following recording modes are available to you, to record broadcasts onto the hard disk.
1. Immediate recording
Choose this recording option, to record the program currently being shown at the touch of a
button.
2. Timer-controller recording
This function allows your TV set to be switched on and off, in order to record desired programs on the hard disk, e.g. when you are outside. To do so, you can program the timer
manually or automatically using the EPG function.
7
3. Timeshift recording
The timeshift recording function allows delayed viewing of programs. This allows you to
watch what has been already recorded as the recording process continues.
Please note, that if the device is connected to a satellite unit, you should always use the
HDTV with two separate DVB-S antenna connections, in order to have access to all the
recording facilities during DVB-S operation. This allows you to use the following combinations of recording and playback:
- Record a program and playback another program or watch a favourite hard disk
recording at the same time.
- Record two programs at the same time, even when they are being received by differ-
ent receivers.
- Record two different programs at the same time and playback a program that has
already been recorded.
If only a DVB-S antenna connection is available for connecting the HDTV, the recording
and playback scope will be limited.
- Record a program and at the same time, play back another program from the Same
receiving area or a favourite hard disk recording.
- Record two programs at the Same time from the same recording area.
- Record two different programs from the Same receiving area at the same time and
playback a program that has already been recorded.

> Using the up/down arrow keys, mark the line Brilliance.
> Use the right/left arrow keys to set the brilliance to Setting 1, 2 or 3.
8.1.3.8 Aspect ratio
With this setting, you can decide how broadcasts that are transmitted in a 4:3 format should
be shown (that is the conventional TV format) on your 16:9 widescreen TV set.
Original
With the original setting, you can achieve an undistorted portrayal, true to the original.
Naturally, you will see black lines to the left and right of the picture.
Optimal
The optimal setting offers you a compromise. Here, the image is expanded to remain true
to the original format, which involves certain image information being taken from the top and
bottom. However, it generally does not affect the broadcast services in this area, which can
still transmit most important images, since conventional TV sets never show the entire image
for other technical reasons. In this setting, narrow black lines remain to the left and right.
Optimal 16:9
In the optimal 16:9 setting, the the narrow 4:3 image is expanded to fit the entire width of
the screen. Moreover, the image, as in the optimal setting, is cut off slightly at the top and
bottom. This means the image is not so strongly distorted, as in the stretch setting, despite
using the entire width of the screen.
Full zoom
In the full zoom setting, you can enjoy an undistorted portrayal of the 4:3 image over the
entire area of the screen. However, this involves a relatively large portion of the image being
cut off at the top and bottom edges.
Stretch
The stretch setting zooms the actual narrow image to the full width of your 16:9 device. As
a result, the black lines are eliminated, but the geometry of the image shown is distorted.
8
> Using the up/down arrow keys, mark the line Aspect ratio.
> Use the right/left arrow keys to set the original, optimal, optimal 16:9, full
zoom or stretch settings for the aspect ratio.
79
8.1.3.9 Format recognition
With this setting, you can decide in which way the automatic recognition function of 16:9
broadcasts should be implemented.
Generall speaking, the image source will indicate whether the broadcast is transmitted in a
4:3 or 16:9 format. In the Signalling setting, the playback of the program based on the
relevant image format can subsequently be correctly implemented.
However, errors in signalling may occur. If so, your TV set will assume that the program is
transmitted with a 4:3 format. A 16:9 broadcast without signalling will then be shown with
black bars to the left and right as well as upper and lower bars, (if you have selected the
stretch option, however, the bars appear only to the top and bottom). If there is no signalling for a 16:9 broadcast, you have the chance to increase the size of the image accordingly
using the zoom function (see Point 6.10). When you choose the setting with black bars,
also in the event of a lack of signalling, there is automatic recognition of a 16:9 broadcast
due to the black bars. The TV set will then automatically switch after a short period to the
16:9 portrayal itself.
Unfortunately, there are also broadcasts which do not signal 16:9 broadcasts because they
wish to include advertising in the black lines to the top and bottom. Therefore the automatic
function soon detects whether the bars are really black or whether they contain image information depending on the case. In this case, it is advisable to either select the Signalling
option instead of the setting with the black bars, and use the zoom function to manually
adjust to the desired portrayal.
(not with VGA)
For the very unlikely situation that a 4:3 broadcast is signalled as a 16:9 one, the format recognition function can be optionally switched off
> Using the up/down arrow keys mark the line Format recognition.
> Use the right/left arrow keys to set the format recognition to black bars or
Signalling or switch this off, when you do not wish to use the format recognition
function.
80
8.1.3.10 Extended settings
In addition to the means of image adjustment already explained, you can find further methods of adjustment in the sub-menu further settings.
> Use the arrow keys up/down to mark the line Further settings.
> Open the Further settings by confirming with OK.
8.1.3.10.1 Contrast enhancement
In addition to the contrast setting, you have, via the contrast enhancement mode, an additional opportunity to improve the contrast of the device
> Use the up/down arrow keys to mark the line Contrast enhancement.
> Activate the contrast enhancement using the right/left arrow keys or switch this
on (off).
8.1.3.10.2 Image definition
The soft setting is advisable, when MPEG objects (building blocks) are distracting from the
view (The image is transmitted at too low a data rate). For analog sources, the setting strong
can lead to an enhancement of the image. The setting Extra is especially recommended for
HDMI sources. Otherwise, we recommend the Normal setting.
> Using the up/down arrow keys, mark the line Image definition.
8
> Use the right/left arrow keys to set the image definition to Soft, Normal,
Strong or Extra.
8.1.3.10.3 Noise cancellation
With the noise cancellation function, the visual impression when watching sources affected
by image noise (e.g. an old film) improved. This function is achieved by wiping effects during
movements.
> Using the up/down arrow keys, mark the line Noise cancellation.
> Use the right/left arrow keys to set the value of the noise cancellation to Low,
Medium, Strong or Extra or switch the function off.
8.1.3.10.4 Movement compensation
The movement compensation function prevents disturbing jerking movements (especially
caused by camera shake) during the playback of film material. Unlike TV cameras, which
shows 50 frames a second, film cameras show only 24 images. When filming fast movements, that is too few. With this in mind, the movement compensation function compensates
with movement analysis through a complicated calculation process during the time between
images.
> Use the up/down arrow keys to mark the line Movement compensation.
> Use the up/down arrow keys to switch the movement compensation function
on or off.
(not with VGA)
81

> Using the right/left arrow keys, select the desired Color space setting
RGB-expanded (DVI-PC) or RGB-normal (DVI-Video).
(only for HDMI)
8.1.3.10.6 Overscan
In TV technology, not all the image content is shown on the screen. Instead, the image is
shown in a slightly expanded form, which involves certain rings being cut out of the image
content. This is done to avoid disturbances caused by stripes, which can affect the actual
image content, by causing the visible section of the image to be moved off the screen. This
method is known as overscan. With this point, you have the chance to select between the
two overscan options 5 % (Action safe) and 10 % (Title safe) or to switch off the
function.
> Mark the line Overscan using the up/down arrow keys.
> Using the right/left arrow keys, select the desired Overscan setting, either
5 % (Action safe) or 10 % (Title safe) or switch off the function completely.

8.5.3 Antenna signals
Your TV set possesses two DVB-S tubers (receiving stations). These can be used to record
a program and watch another at the same time. In order that you are able to gain the full
scope in terms of using the functions of your TV set, when recording and playing back in
DVB-S operation, you should always use two separate antenna connections (antenna signals) with identical layouts. Please also note Point 7.1.
> Use the up/down arrow keys to mark the line Antenna signals.
> Using the right/left arrow keys, set the number of antenna signals to 2, when
connecting your TV set to two separate antenna connections or to 1, when there is
only 1 antenna connection available.
To utilise all the recording facilities of your TV set, you should ensure it is connected via two
independent DVB-S antenna connections. This allows you to use the following combinations
of recording and playback:
99
- Record a program and play back another program from the same receiving area or a
favourite hard disk recording.
- Record two programs at the same time, even when they are being received by differ-
ent receivers.
- Record two different programs (even from different receiving areas) at the same time
and play back a prerecorded program.
If only a DVB-S antenna connection is available for connecting the TV set, the recording
and playback scope will be limited.
- Record a program and at the same time, play back another program from the
same receiving area or a favourite hard disk recording.
- Record two programs at the same time from the same recording area.
- Record two different programs from the same receiving area at the same time
and playback a program that has already been recorded.
Please note, that the limitations associated with the recording or playback of a DVB-S
antenna signal only apply for purely DVB-S operations. In both cases, (connection to one or
two DVB-S antenna connections), of course existing DVB-C-, DVB-T- and analog TV programs as well as analog external sources can be recorded or shown.
8.5.4 Setting the switching matrix
In the antenna settings menu (DVB-S), four switching criteria are implemented for the DiSEqC control. Your device is pre programmed so that the satellite ASTRA 19,2 East is received
on switch setting A/A and Eutelsat 13,0 East on setting B/A of a multi-switch. Should your
receiving installation be configured differently, or should you receive other satellites, you can
adjust the settings of your TV set to your receiving unit as follows.
> Use the arrow keys in the column Satellite to select the DiSEqC switch position
(1-4), to which you wish to allocate a satellite (e.g. A/B 3 No satellite), and mark
this line.
> Press the OK key.
A table will be displayed, allowing you to select from various satellites.
> Use the arrow keys to mark the desired satellite.
Using the up/down arrow keys the marker is moved to show a respective line,
while the left/right arrow keys are used to move sideways to indicate a list. If the
satellite you are looking for is not included in the list, please select a reserve position,
designated User 1 to User 11. To configure a rotating unit, select the entry Motor-
ized antenna and subsequently proceed as detailed in Point 8.5.6.
> Confirm by pressing OK.
The marked satellite is inserted into the previously marked Position. If a list for the
selected satellite program is already contained in the preconfigured works program,
a query screen now appears, asking whether you would like to transfer this into your
TV and radio lists.
> Mark the field Yes, to confirm the program or No, to cancel the confirmation and
confirm both with OK.
The confirmed program can be sorted as described in Point 10 or again removed.
