About your TV set

• With your TV set, you can receive and watch digital TV programmes over DVB-S, DVB-T and DVB-C, along with analogue TV.
  The TV set can record programmes. For this feature you need a USB storage device, such as an external hard drive (not included). Recorded programmes can only be played on the same TV set. After the TV st is repaired, it is possible that recorded programmes may no longer be able to be played back.

Intended use

The TV set is designed for use in dry rooms.
Use the TV set with the supplied stand or a suitable VESA bracket.
The TV set is primarily intended for the playback of TV programmes, streaming content and audio/video material from external devices. Any other use is strictly prohibited.

It is not intended as an information display or for predominant use as a computer monitor. If a still image or a non-full-format image is displayed for an extended period, visible traces may remain on the screen for some time.

This is not a defect that can be used as the basis for a warranty claim.

  Only use batteries of the same type (brand, size, properties). Do not use used and new batteries together.

WARNING

Injuries caused by falling TV set

Never place the TV set on an unstable surface. The TV set may fall, causing serious injury, possibly leading to death in isolated cases.

Observe the following precautions:

Only use the manufacturer's recommended cabinets or stands.
Only use furniture that can safely support the TV set.
Make sure that the TV set does not protrude beyond the dimensions of the furniture on which it is resting.
- Do not place the TV set on tall furniture (such as kitchen cabinets, bookshelves) without securely anchoring the furniture and TV set.
- Do not place the TV set on fabric or other materials located between the TV set and furniture.
Instruct children that there is danger associated with climbing on furniture when the TV set is to be reached.

NOTICE

Shortened service life due to high operating temperature

• Do not place the TV set next to heating units or in direct sunlight.
  To ensure adequate ventilation, maintain clearance of at least 10cm around the TV set.

Discolouration of furniture due to rubber feet

Some furniture surfaces may discolour when they come in contact with rubber. To protect furniture, you can place a sheet made of glass or plastic under the stand. Do not use textile underlays or mats such as doilies.

Environmental information

Do not dispose of batteries in the household waste. Used batteries must be returned to retail

stores or public collection points. You help to protect the environment in this way.

• Be sure to dispose of packaging materials for your product separately according to the guidelines of local authorities so that they can be recycled in an environmentally safe manner.

If you are not using your TV set for a while, turn it to standby mode. In standby mode, the TV set uses very little energy (≤ 0.5W) . If you do not use the TV set for an extended period, turn it off with the power switch or unplug the power cord from the socket. If you turn off the device or disconnect it from the power supply, the switch-on timer and programmed recordings will not work.

• Select a location for the TV set so that no direct sunlight falls on the screen. This allows a lower backlight to be selected, which saves energy.

Do not dispose of the product along with normal household waste at the end of its service life. Take it to a recycling centre

for electrical and electronic equipment.

Special features of your TV

You can receive and watch digital TV channels using your television set (via DVB-S/S2, 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/S2, DVB-T and DVB-C standards (status: August 2012), the compatibility with future DVB-S/S2 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).
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 34.

Receiving digital channels

You require a satellite antenna to receive digital satellite channels (DVB-S/S2).
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/S2, 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.

Advanced picture settings

The "advanced picture settings" are in principal digital image improvements which, however, should be only used when necessary when picture quality and transmission is excellent. They may well improve the display with poor material, but may adversely affect the display where transmission and picture quality are excellent.

■ Nois Reduction « - Reduces the visible snow by displaying the picture a little less sharply and creating a slight blurring. Should therefore be used minimally with good picture material.
■ Block Noise Reduction « - This function can only be selected with digital reception sources and AV preset. It reduces any interference from artefacts (pixel blocks) from digital programmes due to MPEG compression (such as from DVB-T receivers and lower transmission rates or DVD players).
Vibrant Colour - Increases the colour contrast and the contrast adjustment. This setting is mostly too strong for use with normal pictures and should only be used where necessary (low or off) otherwise nuances in the image can be suppressed.
- Perfect Clear - Improves the general image by means of a gentle blue hue (giving the appearance of greater sharpness) and improves the black level by setting this entirely to black from specific shade of back. This reduces the visible grey values in the dark areas of the picture.
■ Film mode detects and processes feature films automatically for all channel sources. This means you will always receive an optimal picture.

This functions in the modi 480i, 576i and 1080i in TV playback and for other channel sources.

If the Film mode is switched on for programmes without a feature film signal, minor problems such as picture freeze, defective subtitles or fine lines in the picture could occur.

• «Gamma« - This setting establishes which brightness value should be displayed for which digital transmission value. Most recordings are transmitted with a gamma value of 2.2 (all Windows PCs and newer PCs with a MAC operating system work with this, older MAC systems and transmissions without colour profile mostly operate with a gamma value of 1.8).
  Dynamic Contrast - The function dynamically and optimally adjusts the contrast for the respective picture content by analysing images and then altering this depending in a change in contrast. This increase the contract, however may also reduce the visible brightness levels in the picture.
• Dynamic Backlight - Here the device optimally adjusts the back lighting for the picture content by regulating the back lighting depending on the average picture brightness. If a picture has predominately dark areas, then the black level displayed is improved by downward adjustment of the back lighting (in this case the display of the dark areas is improved), and with predominantly bright picture material the back lighting is maximised in order to display these areas more brightly.
  Backlight - Manual setting for back lighting (only active if dynamic back lighting is switched to "OFF"). This setting also directly impacts power consumption.

Information on recording and playing television programmes

- Recording and playback of television programmes is only possible with digital television channels (DVB-S/S2, DVB-T and DVB-C). The digital television channels (DVB-S/S2, 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. The USB Multimedia Player might not support some recorded events. For proper playback please use the PRnP player. To avoid problems in recording and time shifting features of your television, using a high-speed USB disk or Hard Disk is recommended. Otherwise, distortions or jams may be encountered in video playback.

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/S-VHS socket (analogue picture/sound signal) can also be restricted by the broadcaster. Prerequisite is that your device supports the copying function.

Connecting external data media

Backlight

Manual setting for back lighting (only active if dynamic back lighting is switched to "OFF"). This setting also directly impacts power consumption.

Block Noise Reduction

This function can only be selected with digital reception sources and AV presets. It reduces any interference from artefacts (pixel blocks) from digital programmes due to MPEG compression (such as from DVB-T receivers and lower transmission rates or DVD players).

Boot loader version

Boot loader is a software application that is loaded by the device firmware from a boot capable medium and then executed. The boot loader then loads further parts of the operating system.

Common Interface

Interface for a DVB receiver. Encrypted channels can only be viewed with a CA module suitable for the encryption system and in conjunction with the corresponding smart card.

Digilink

This function uses the CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) protocol. CEC allows external devices connected to the HDMI sockets with an HDMI cable (e.g. DVD player) to be operated with a remote control.

DiSEqC

DiSEqC (Digital Satellite Equipment Control) is a digital system for controlling complex satellite systems with a motor or several LNBs. DiSEqC is necessary if two or more satellite positions need to be controlled.

Dynamic Backlight

Here the device optimally adjusts the back lighting for the picture content by regulating the back lighting depending on the average picture brightness. If a picture has predominately dark areas, then the black level displayed is improved by downward adjustment of the back lighting (in this case the display of the dark areas is improved), and with predominantly bright picture material the back lighting is maximised in order to display these areas more brightly.

DTS TruSurround

DTS TruSurround is an advanced surround sound solution package that extracts and positions the exact audio signals for an atmospheric surround sound experience using the built-in TV speakers. To complete the audio experience, post-processing and psychoacoustic methods are used which provide 3D audio playback in accordance with the video content - for optimising bass and dialogue and delivering unified and balanced volume for the entire content.

DVB-C

DVB-C (Digital Video Broadcasting - Cable) and the successor DVB-C2 standard are variations of DVB which is used for transmitting digital radio and television signals via a cable connection.

DVB-S

DVB-S (Digital Video Broadcasting - Satellite) is the name given to broadcasting DVB signals via satellite.

DVB-T

DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting - Terrestrial) is a variation of DVB which is used for transmitting digital radio and television signals via a cable connection.

Dynamic Contrast

The function dynamically and optimally adjusts the contrast for the respective picture content by analysing images and then altering this depending in a change in contrast. This increase the contract, however may also reduce the visible brightness levels in the picture.

Film mode

Detects and processes feature films automatically for all channel sources. This means you will always receive an optimal picture. This functions in the modi 480i, 576i and 1080i in TV playback and for other channel sources. If the «Film mode« is switched on for programmes without a feature film signal, minor problems such as picture freeze, defective subtitles or fine lines in the picture could occur.

Firmware version

Firmware is the term used for software that is embedded in a programmed chip (microcontroller). It is mostly stored in a flash memory, an EPROM or an EEPROM. The firmware contains functions for controlling the device.

Gamma

This setting establishes which brightness value should be displayed for which digital transmission value. Most recordings are transmitted with a gamma value of 2.2 (all Windows PCs and newer PCs with a MAC operating system work with this, older MAC systems and transmissions without colour profile mostly operate with a gamma value of 1.8).

Hardware version

Hardware in this context means the device. This includes all components such as processor, display, etc.

HD

High Definition Television is a general term for a range of television standards which feature increased vertical, horizontal or temporal resolution. Full HD is a feature of an HDTV capable device which is able to output or record an HD resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels.

JPEG

JPEG stands for Joint Picture Experts Group. It denotes a process for compressing picture files.

LNB

Low Noise Block is located in the centre of a parabolic antenna. It converts the satellite frequency from, for example, 10.7 to 11.75 or 11.8 to 12.75 GHz to the 950-2150 MHz range, thereby enabling the cable transmission using a coaxial cable and more recently also with optical fibre and reception with a satellite receiver.

MEMC

Improves the display of moving images through the additional computation of intermediate pictures and is only available for devices from 32^ . It is displayed with a PPR of 400 (Picture Perfection Rate). If the adjustment value is too high, this may result in ghosting with poor transmission due to the incorrect computation of the intermediate pictures.

MP3

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).

Nois Reduction

Reduces the visible snow by displaying the picture a little less sharply and creating a slight blurring. Should therefore be used minimally with good picture material.

Perfect Clear

Improves the general image by means of a gentle blue hue (giving the appearance of greater sharpness) and improves the black level by setting this entirely to black from specific shade of back. This reduces the visible grey values in the dark areas of the picture.

SCR (Single Channel Router)

Unrestricted single cable system. If your antenna system is equipped with a single cable multi-switch, the televisions which are connected to this antenna system can receive television channels independently from one another.

Symbolrate

This is the number of transmitted symbols in the digital transmission technology per time unit

Timeshift

You can pause the programme you are watching. This is a useful function, for example if the telephone rings while you are watching a film and you do not want to miss anything. The programme is saved in the time-shift memory of the external data medium. A maximum of 60 minutes of the current programme can be recorded in the time shift memory.

Transponder

A transponder receives data on a satellite and then transmits it again. For example, an earth station can transmit data signals for television channels to a geostationary satellite, which sends this back to earth. Any suitable satellite antenna with visual contact to the satellite can receive the signal.

USB-Recording

Enables recording and playback of television programmes with digital television channels (DVB-S, DVB-T and DVB-C). This depends on the broadcaster. Recording and playback of programmes can only be carried out using an external data medium (hard drive or USB stick).

Vibrant Colour

Increases the colour contrast and the contrast adjustment. This setting is mostly too strong for use with normal pictures and should only be used where necessary (low or off) otherwise nuances in the image can be suppressed.
