Special features of your television set

You can receive and watch digital TV channels using your television set (via DVB-S, DVB-T and DVB-C) - including High Definition programmes (HD). However, the reception of digital TV channels in HD is currently limited to a few countries in Europe.
Although this television set complies with the current DVB-S, DVB-T and DVB-C standards (status: August 2010), the compatibility with future DVB-S satellite transmissions as well as terrestrial DVB-T and DVB-C cable programmes cannot be guaranteed.
- Your television set can receive and process all analogue and non-encrypted digital TV channels. The television set is also equipped with digital and analogue receivers.
The electronic TV guide (for digital channels only) informs you about any schedule changes at short notice, and provides an overview of all the broadcasters' schedules for the next few days. Detailed information on the individual television programmes are - when provided by the broadcasting station - are also available in the electronic TV guide.
- You can connect various data media, such as an external hard drive, a USB memory stick or a digital camera, to the USB socket. Using the file browser, you can then select and play the file formats of your choice (for example, MP4, MP3 or JPEG data).
- Your Grundig television and 3D glasses can provide the reality of the cinema when you watch 3D movies in your home. This TV uses state-of-the-art LED technology to give you the best experience 3D has to offer. To join the 3D world, you just need to put on the Grundig 3D glasses.
Using the time shift function, you can quickly and easily pause a programme using the remote control and resume it at a later stage. The programme is recorded in an external data medium.

You can record any digital TV channels you choose.
The TV channels are converted by the television and saved on an external data medium which is connected to the USB socket.
The saved programmes can be called up and played from the archive on the external data medium at any time.
You can also play a programme from the archive while recording another.
More information on recording and playing TV programmes can be found from page 51.
Smart Inter@ctive TV 2.0 feature provides your TV with Internet applications when your TV is connected to Internet. You can surf through the web pages, visit popular video and photo sharing sites as well as social networks with these applications.
Wireless USB keyboard and mouse support in the web browser application facilitates surfing through the internet pages for the user.
- DLNA feature allows you to use a wired or wireless local network to access your content that were recorded with DLNA compatible devices we use at our daily lives such as a PC, mobile phone or NAS (Network Attached Storage) which are operated as DMS (Digital Medial Server). Thanks to DMR feature, when DLNA application has been started, you can automatically start and stop media playing on devices with DMC feature.
Devices that contain and serve video, music or image files are called Server. This television receives video, music and image files from the server through home network, allowing you to access and play such media even when your television is located in a different room then the server. A DLNA compatible device such as a PC, mobile phone, NAS or a NAS-like (Network attached storage) device which operates as a DMS (Digital Media Server) is required in order to use home network.

Receiving digital channels

  • You require a satellite antenna to receive digital satellite channels (DVB-S).
  • You require a digital roof antenna or indoor antenna (passive or active indoor antenna with its own power supply) to receive digital television channels (DVB-T).
    If you wish to receive digital television channels via your cable system (DVB-C), the antenna cable for your cable operator must be connected to the television set.
    Unlike analogue broadcasting, not every channel has its own transmission frequency. Instead, several channels are grouped into what are known as bouquets on a regional or national level. You can find the current transmission information on teletext from various broadcasters, or by consulting a current TV guide or the Internet.
    Various digital television channels from private broadcasters are encrypted (DVB-S, DVB-T and DVB-C). Watching these channels and the recording and playback functions are only possible with the appropriate CI module and a SmartCard. Ask your specialist dealer. The range of channels available from the public broadcasting institutions (ARD with EinsExtra, EinsFestival or ZDF with ZDF Info and all third party broadcasters) are not encrypted and can be received without a SmartCard.

Grundig SCR system

  • Your TV supports SCR system (Satellite Channel Router). If your antenna installation is equipped with an Single Cable Distribution multiswitch, all television sets which are connected on this antenna can receive the television channels stand-alone.

Important notes on environmental protection

The following information will help you to save resources - and money as well.
If you are not using your television set for several days, you should pull out the mains plug for environmental and safety reasons. This way the television does not consume any electricity.
If the device is equipped with a power switch, switching it off using this switch will be sufficient. The energy consumed by the television set is reduced to virtually 0 W.
In standby mode, the television set uses very little energy. However, it may be necessary to leave the television set in standby mode for certain functions (for example automatic switch-on and switch-off and for timer functions).
The television set uses less energy when the brightness is reduced.

Notes on still images

Watching the same image for a long time on the screen may cause a still image remains feebly on the background. Feeble image(s) on the background is originated from LCD/LED technology and does not require any action under guarantee. To avoid such cases and/or minimize the impact, you may observe the tips below.

  • Do not allow the same TV channel to stay on the screen for a very long time. Channel logos may cause this situation.
  • Do not allow the images, which are not full screen, to constantly stay on the screen; if not streamed in full screen format by the broadcaster, you can convert the images to full screen by changing picture formats.
    Higher brightness and/or contrast values will lead this impact to appear faster; therefore, you are recommended to watch your TV in the lowest brightness and contrast levels.

If you use a modem that supports IEEE 802.11B/G, video playback performance may be poor when compared to a modem that supports IEEE 802.11N since the data transfer rate of IEEE 802.11B/G protocol is lower.
Please note that video playback performance in a DLNA application on a wireless local network and in a Smart Inter@ cive TV 2.0 application on a network with internet connection depends on the number of users on the network as it is the case in every wireless network.
It is recommended to switch off the equipment that are not in use in home network in order to avoid unnecessary network traffic.
Placing the modem or wireless network sharer on an elevated location will increase the wireless connection reception strength.
Wireless connection reception strength may vary depending on the type of the modem and the distance between the modem and television.
Modem must be transmitting its SSID in order to establish a wireless connection. Television can not connect to a network without SSID.

Wireless network settings

There are two ways of making the wireless network settings.

A Automatic connection, all data regarding connection settings (IP Address «, «Netmask «, «Gateway « and «DNS«) are obtained from modem automatically.
B Manual connection, all data regarding connection settings (IP Address «, «Netmask «, «Gateway « and «DNS«) must be configured manually.

Automatic connection

Most of the home networks are Dynamic. If you have a dynamic network, you must use a DSL modem that supports DHCP. Modems and IP sharers that support DHCP obtain the IP Address «, «Netmask «, «Gateway « and «DNS « values required for internet access automatically, and thus you are not required to enter those values manually.

Information on recording and playing television programmes

Recording and playback of television programmes is only possible with digital television channels (DVB-S, DVB-T and DVB-C).
The digital television channels (DVB-S, DVB-T and DVB-C) you are able to record and playback also depends on the broadcaster.
- Recording and playback of programmes, as well as the time shift function, can only be carried out using an external data medium (hard drive or USB stick).
Recordings can be made with most data media on the market. However, we cannot guarantee operation for all data media.
If a programme was recorded on an external data medium, it can only be played back on your television set. The playback of these programmes is not possible on other devices.
If you send your television to be repaired and hardware components need to be replaced, you might not be able to play the recordings again on the repaired television.
- Reception for SKY broadcasting service is currently only possible in Germany with a suitable set-top box or suitable CA module.
Grundig does not accept liability for any loss of saved data on an external data medium.
It is recommended to playback recorded files via PRnP Player. USB Media Player may not support some recorded files.
The USB Multimedia Player might not support some recorded events. For proper playback please use the PRnP player. Pressing REC. LIST opens the menu RECORDED FILES, then select and playback the event.

Possible limitations when using an external data medium

Depending on the broadcaster, you may experience various restrictions on some of the functions from some television channels.

GRUNDIG has no influence on these restrictions.

  • Recording a programme on the external data medium can be disabled by the broadcaster. If the message «URI* protected! PVR function is blocked« appears on the screen, then recording or timeshift is restricted (one recording possible) or disabled (recording not possible) by the broadcaster.
  • URI = User right information (Copyright information).
    If you record and save a programme on the archive of an external data medium, playback can be restricted.
    The broadcaster can allow you to view this programme one or more times, but it may only be available for a certain period of time.
    Programmes not suitable for minors will require the input of a PIN number immediately before recording starts. If this authorisation is not given, the recording may not start.
  • Copying a programme from a digital television channel onto a video or DVD recorder using the «AV 1« socket (analogue picture/sound signal) can also be restricted by the broadcaster. Prerequisite is that your device supports the copying function.

File formats

Your television can work with the following file formats using the USB sockets:

Video data

Special codes for video compression and decompression provide more memory space without compromising the picture quality excessively.

Your television plays video files in the formats DIVS, XVID, H.264/MPEG-4 AVC (L4.1, 4 reference pictures), MPEG-4, MPEG-2, MPEG-1, MJPEG and MOV.

The following file name extensions are also supported: AVI, MKV, MP4, TS, MOV, MPG, DAT, VOB. These files can also contain audio files compressed using MP3, AAC or Dolby Digital.

Audio data

Your television can play audio data in the formats MP3, AAC.

MP3 is the abbreviation for MPEG-1 Level 3 and is based on the MPEG-1 standard, which was developed by the MPEG (Motion Picture Expert Group).

AAC stands for Advanced Audio Coding and was also developed by MPEG. AAC provides better sound quality at an identical data rate.

WMA (Windows Media Audio) is a compression standard for audio data developed by Microsoft.

These formats allow audio files to be recorded and played which sound as good as a CD, while taking up only a fraction of the memory space.

File name extensions which are supported: MP3, MP2, WMA, M4A, AAC.

MP3 files can be organised into folders and sub folders, as on the computer.

Image data

Your television can display pictures in the formats JPEG, PNG and BMP.
