Please note the following information when setting up your television set.

This television set is designed to receive and display video and audio signals.

Any other use is expressly prohibited.

The ideal viewing distance is 5 times the screen diagonal.

External light falling on the screen impairs picture quality.

To assure sufficient ventilation make sure there is enough space around it in the wall unit.

The television set is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it in the open, please ensure that it is protected from moisture, such as rain or splashing water. Do not expose the television set to any moisture.

Do not place any vessels such as vases on the television, as they may spill liquid, thus presenting a safety risk.

Place the television set on a solid, level surface. Do not place any objects such as newspapers on the television set or cloth or similar items beneath it.

Do not place the television set close to heating units or in direct sunlight, as this will impair cooling.

Heat build-up can be dangerous and shortens the operating life of the television set. For reasons of safety, have a specialist remove any dirt deposits in the set from time to time.

Do not open the television set under any circumstances. Warranty claims are excluded for damage resulting from improper handling.

Ensure that the mains cable and the mains adapter are not damaged.

The television set may only be operated with the mains cable/adapter supplied.

Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the television set is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains or the antenna cable. Always disconnect the mains and antenna plugs during a storm.

Only clean the plasma screen with a chamois leather and commercially available glass cleaner.

Only clean the housing of the plasma television with a damp, soft cloth, and plain water.

The Plasma screen is equipped with a glass plate. If the device is subjected to excessive strain, for example through vibration, bending or heat shocks the glass plate can break.

Do not hit or put pressure on the glass plate.

Should the glass plate be damaged, pull out the main plug immediately.

SET-UP AND SAFETY

Plasma screens use the principle of luminescent material. This technology can suffer sticking effects under certain operating conditions. This can include:

– Prolonged display of a freeze-frame
- Constant display of the same background
- Use of a picture format (such as 4:3) which does not fill the screen.

Once these sticking effects occur, they cannot normally be reversed. To avoid sticking effects please note:

– During the first 100 operating hours, ensure that the television displays mostly moving pictures or frequently changing stills which fill the screen
- Use a picture format which fills the screen (16:9)
- Always activate the screensaver when using a PC
– Decrease the contrast and brightness as much as possible
- Switch off the device when it is not in use

If a freeze-frame is on the Plasma screen for a very long time (several hours), it is possible that this will be visible as a ghosting effect for some time when you switch to another channel. However, after a certain amount of time this ghosting disappears again.

This can be caused by a type of memory effect. In order to prevent this effect, we recommend activating the screen saver when using a PC.

After a lengthy period without use (longer than one year) a temporary colour discrepancy is possible in some circumstances.

This effect is normal for plasma screens. After a while these colour discrepancies disappear again.

A plasma screen is made up of around. 1.2 million colour pixels.

Within the industrial standard tolerance, a very small number of pixels (0.001 %) can be defective. This is not regarded as a device defect under the terms of the warranty.

The plasma screen functions with inert gases and air pressure.

At 2,000 m above sea-level or higher, the picture can become unstable and the picture quality is reduced. However, when the device is returned to below 2,000 m above sea-level, this effect disappears and the device functions perfectly.

Please note when deciding where to put the device that furniture surfaces are covered by various types of lacquer and plastic, most of which contain chemical additives. These may cause corrosion to the feet of the device, thus resulting in stains on the surface of the furniture which can be difficult or impossible to remove.

Note:

Do not connect any other equipment while the device is switched on. Switch off the other equipment as well before connecting it.

Only plug the device into the mains socket after you have connected the external devices and the antenna.

USING EXTERNAL DEVICES

DVD player, DVD recorder, video recorder or set-top box

Note:

Which television socket(s) you connect your external devices to depends on the sockets the external device is equipped with and the signals which are available.

Note that with many external devices the resolution of the video signal must be adapted to the input sockets on the television (check the external device's instruction manual). You can find out which values you need to set by referring to the guidelines in the section about connection options.

Note:

Do not connect any other equipment while the device is switched on. Switch off the other equipment as well before connecting it.

Only plug the device into the mains socket after you have connected the external devices.

HD ready

High definition – HD ready

Your television can receive high-definition television signals (HDTV).

You can connect the input sources (HDTV set-top box or HDTV DVD player) to the »HDMI« socket (digital HDTV signal).

This ensures that you can view digital HDTV programmes, even if they are copy-protected (HDCP High-Definition Copy Protection).

Additional Information for units sold in the UK.

Units sold in the UK are suitable for operation from a 240V ac, 50Hz mains supply.

The range of multi-system receivers is built to work in most European countries. However, the mains plug and socket system for the UK differs from many European countries.

This appliance has been supplied with a fitted, non-removable, approved converter plug for use in the UK. This converter plug is fitted with a 5A rated fuse.

In case this appliance is supplied with a moulded 2-pin Euro plug only, which is unsuitable for UK operation, this must be cut off and immediately disposed of. An approved 13A, 3-pin UK plug should then be fitted by a qualified electrician.

Note:

The severed Euro plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a socket elsewhere.

If a non-rewireable 3-pin plug or a rewireable 13A (BS1363) 3-pin plug is used, it must be fitted with a 5A ASTA or BSI approved BS1362 fuse. If any other type of plug is used it must be protected by a 5A fuse either in the plug, or at the distribution board. If this type of plug becomes defective, ensure that the fuse is removed before disposal, to eliminate potential shock hazard.

If it is necessary to change the fuse in the non-rewireable plug, the correct type and rating (5A ASTA or BSI approved BS1362) must be used and the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged, the lead and plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained. Replacement fuse covers should be obtained from your dealer.

Important:

The wires in the mains lead are colour coded in accordance with the following code:

BLUE - NEUTRAL

BROWN - LIVE

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance may not correspond with the coloured marking identifying terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

Connect the BLUE coloured wire to plug terminal marked with the letter "N" or coloured black.

Connect the BROWN coloured wire to the plug terminal marked with the letter "L" or coloured red.

In no circumstance must any of the wires be connected to the terminal marked with the letter "E", earth symbol "m", coloured green, or green & yellow.
