INSTALLATION AND SAFETY

In order to assure that this high-quality and easy-to-use TV set will be able to provide you with good service and pleasure for a long time to come, it is important that you observe the following points when installing the TV set.

The TV set has been designed for the reception and reproduction of picture and sound signals.

Any other use is explicitly forbidden.

The ideal viewing distance from the screen is 5 times the diagonal width of the screen (about 5.5m ). External light shining on the screen adversely affects picture quality.

Assure that there is enough space when installing the set in a wall recess.

The TV set is designated for operation in dry rooms. Should you nevertheless operate it outside, make absolutely sure that it is protected against dampness (rain, water splashes). Never expose the TV set to any sort of moisture.

• Do not place vessels filled with fluid (vases or similar things) on the TV set.
• The vessel may tip over and the fluid may adversely affect electrical safety.
• Do not place objects (for example, newspapers) on the TV set.

Do not place the TV set close to the heating or in direct sunshine as it could overheat.

Heat build-up can be dangerous and is detrimental to the service life of the TV set.

For safety reasons, from time to time, have a technician come to clean the inside of the set, the blower and the inside of the pane. Consult your authorized dealer.

INSTALLATION AND SAFETY

Do not open the TV set under any circumstance. The manufacturer will offer no liability for damage resulting from unauthorized tampering.

Use only original GRUNDIG connection cables, accessories and spare parts.

Be sure that the mains cable is not damaged at any time.

Storms represent a danger for every type of electrical device. Even if the set is switched off, it could be damaged by a lightning strike hitting the mains and/or the aerial lead. Therefore, always disconnect the mains plug and aerial plug when there is a storm.

Clean the picture screen only with the cloth supplied.

For cleaning the picture screen housing, use only a soft cloth moistened with clean water.

This TV set combines technology and ecology in a well thought-out overall concept. Only ecologically high-quality materials are used. The packaging is made almost entirely of 100% recycled paper, and the portion of plastic has been reduced to a minimum. The batteries supplied have no mercury or cadmium. The number of plastic types has been reduced in order to ensure high-quality recycling when the set is put out of use – all larger plastic parts are marked. To facilitate maintenance work and recycling, this TV set is easy to disassemble.

This digital TV set provides optimum picture and sound quality.

Condition for this is a perfectly operating aerial system and a high-quality aerial cable.

For this reason, use only the aerial cable supplied or an aerial cable of equivalent quality.

For the same reason, avoid cable loops near the TV set.

Still picture

If a still picture is displayed very long (several hours) on the picture screen, it may happen that it remains visible some time as "ghost picture" when changing the programme. After some time this ghost picture disappears again.

This phenomenon is caused by a kind of memory effect. To prevent this effect, it is recommended to switch on a screen saver when the Planavision is operated in connection with a PC.

Colour distortions

If the Planavision is not used for a long period of time (over one year), it may happen that colour distortions occur.

This effect can be considered normal for a plasma picture screen. After some time, the colour distortions will disappear.

Failure of colour pixels

A plasma picture screen consists of about 1.2 million colour pixels.

It must be expected that a small percentage of theses pixels (0,001%) within an industrial standard tolerance may be defect.

This is not visible in an animated picture.

Air pressure

The plasma picture screen functions technologically with inert gas under the influence of air pressure.

In heights 2000m above sea level, the picture may become instable and the picture quality affected. However, if the set is operated below 2000m above sea level again, this effect disappears and the set will operate correctly again.

Humidity

Do not operate the Planavision in areas of high humidity (e.g. in tropical regions). The maximum permissible humidity is 85% .

Remote control of external devices

For technical reasons it may happen in exceptional cases that an external device (video recorder, DVD player or similar) does not correctly respond to the remote control commands.

If this should be the case, change the position of the external device, or change the batteries in the remote control of the external device.

Display of a VGA picture

Check and correct if necessary the VGA mode setting on your PC (640 x 480/60Hz, 640 x 400/70Hz, 640 x 350/70Hz).

To ensure an optimum picture quality, use only a correctly shielded VGA cable (e.g. ferrite core) for a cable length over two meters.

When using a laptop:

In addition to checking the resolution setting, make sure that the laptop has been set for operation with an external video source (moitor).

The remote control

You can use the remote control Personal Remote 10 not only with the Planavision, but also with a video recorder and a DVD player.

For operating a video recorder or DVD player, it is necessary that the remote control is prepared for this by your specialized dealer.

For the operation of a video recorder or DVD player, refer to the separate user manuals supplied with these devices.

Instead of the built-in centre loudspeaker you can also connect an external centre loudspeaker to the clamping terminals. For this the cable of the built-in centre loudspeaker must be disconnected from the «CENTER« clamping terminals. Attention! An external centre loudspeaker must not be operated in parallel with the built-in centre loudspeaker.

Note:

Press down the clamping lever to insert the loudspeaker cables into the terminals.

Insert the - core of the loudspeaker cable into the black (-) terminal and the + core (marked or coloured core) into the red terminal.
