Frequently Asked Questions - Elegance 21 flat tvd 55 2502 GRUNDIG

How do I connect my DVD player to the TV?
Use the SCART input on the back of the TV. Connect one end of a SCART cable to your DVD player and the other to the TV. Select the SCART source using the Source button on the remote.
Why is there no picture but sound is working?
Check if the TV is set to the correct input source. Also ensure the brightness and contrast settings are not set too low. If the screen is completely dark, the backlight (if applicable) may be faulty, but for CRT TVs, the tube itself might be aging.
How can I reset the TV to factory settings?
Press the Menu button on the remote, go to Settings, and select Factory Reset. Confirm with OK. Note that this will erase all custom settings.
The remote control is not working. What should I do?
First, replace the batteries with new ones. Make sure you are pointing the remote directly at the IR sensor on the TV. If still not working, check if any object is blocking the sensor.
How do I use the Teletext feature?
Press the Text button on the remote. Use the number pad to enter the page number. Press Reveal to show hidden answers, and Hold to freeze the page.
Can I connect headphones to this TV?
Yes, there is a 3.5mm headphone jack on the side or back panel. Plug in your headphones and adjust the volume using the remote. The internal speakers will be muted.
What type of antenna do I need?
A standard RF coaxial antenna with a PAL/SECAM compatible tuner. For best reception, use an outdoor antenna if you are in a weak signal area.
How do I clean the screen?
Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the screen. Do not apply any liquids or cleaners, as they may damage the anti-glare coating.
Is there a child lock feature?
Yes, go to the Menu and select Parental Lock. You can set a 4-digit PIN to restrict access to channels or inputs.
Where can I find spare parts for this TV?
Contact your local Grundig authorized service center. You can find the nearest one on the Grundig website or in the user manual. Parts like remote control, power supply, and CRT tube may be available.

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.

Ensure sufficient clearance between the TV and the wall cabinet.

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.

If the television is subject to sudden changes in temperature, for example if it is brought in from the cold to a warm room, connect it to the mains supply and let it stand for at least two hours before you insert a disc.

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.

Keep the television set away from magnetic fields (loudspeaker boxes, for example).

Do not open the television set under any circumstances. No warranty claims are accepted for damage resulting from improper handling.

Ensure that the mains cable is not damaged.

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.

Do not insert foreign objects in the disc compartment.

If the device is unable to scan discs perfectly, use a standard, commercially available cleaning CD to clean the laser optics. Other cleaning methods may damage the laser optics.

Always keep the disc compartment closed to prevent dust from collecting on the laser optics.

Clean the screen with a soft, damp cloth. Only use plain water.

TV Guide

TV Guide provides you with information about the current and the next broadcast.

Who offers TV Guide?

Certain stations - Kabel 1, for example - offer this service for almost all TV programs.

How TV Guide works

The station information is »loaded« once you have selected the pre-set for the programme provider.

Transferring all information to the television is somewhat time-consuming, but you can call up the most current information in just a few minutes.

Notes:

Operation with a satellite receiver is not possible with TV Guide.

If you change the station position during the time the device uses for data transfer, it is possible that not all information will be loaded.

Your DVD player provides you with perfect digital video playback of studio quality.

It also provides superb cinema-quality audio playback – in stereo or with digital multi-channel sound – depending on the type of DVD and audio system or stereo television.

Other features of DVD video include the choice of audio channel and language, choice of subtitle language, and various camera recording angles. Your DVD player is suitable for DVDs with regional code 2.

As well as DVDs, it can also play DivX®Video-CDs, MP3 CDs, JPEG coded (photo) CDs, video CDs, S-video CDs and audio CDs.

GRUNDIG Elegance 21 flat tvd 55 2502 - Special DVD features - 7

Disc formats

Your DVD player can play back CD-R, CD-RW, VCD 2.0, Super-VCD, DVD R, DVD RW discs.

Due to the difference in quality of the recording media and the quality of the recording itself, it can occasionally happen that a home-made DVD or CD cannot be read. This does not indicate a malfunction of the DVD player.

You have to finalise your own CD-R and CD-RW recordings.

Note that the settings of your CD burning program must meet the ISO 9660 standard in order to create a CD-R or CD-RW.

When DivX ^® Video or MP3 or JPEG CDs are played back, individual tracks/pictures may be skipped or incorrectly played back and displayed. This can be due to the disc configuration, the encoder software or the hardware used for the recording.

Audio CDs (CDDA) correspond to the specification and bear the corresponding logo. Copy-protected CDs do not meet this specification and do not bear the corresponding logo. These CDs can cause playback errors.

GRUNDIG Elegance 21 flat tvd 55 2502 - Disc formats - 1

Preparation

Switching on

1 Switch on the television and press »TV/DVD« to select DVD mode.
2 If an audio system or an AV receiver is connected to the device, switch it on and select the audio input for the device.

Inserting a disc

1 Open the disc compartment by pressing »▲«. - The disc compartment opens.

2 Insert the disc you want to play in the disc compartment with the label facing upwards.

3 Close the disc compartment with » ▲«. - The disc tray retracts again and the disc is scanned.

Notes:

Playback of a DVD, VCD, SVCD, DivX ^© Video or audio CD (CDDA) starts automatically.

The file browser appears if an MP3 or JPEG CD is inserted.

If the » symbol appears on the television screen, the selected function is not possible with this disc.

Removing discs

1 Press »▲« to open the compartment and take out the disc.

DVD features

You can recognise a DVD by the logo on the label.

Depending on the content of the DVD, the discs contain one or more titles.

Each title may contain one or more chapters. Titles and chapters can be selected easily and conveniently.

You can control and direct playback of a DVD using the menu of the DVD player on the television screen.

Special DVD features

DVDs have a title menu which provides an overview of the available titles and the passages they contain.

Some of the DVD player's functions, such as slow motion, freeze-frame and auto-play, can also be controlled by the DVD itself. It is therefore possible that the freeze-frame function, for example, cannot be selected during certain scenes.

Many DVDs have audio tracks recorded in up to eight languages. This enables you to select the language you prefer.

Many DVDs are recorded by the manufacturer with subtitles in several languages. You can select subtitles from up to 32 different languages.

Since films are released in different parts of the world at different times, all DVD players world-wide are given a regional code. The regional code for your DVD player is 2.

DVDs may also be given a supplementary regional code. If you insert a DVD with a code different to that of the DVD player, a reference to the regional code appears on the television screen. The DVD player will not be able to play back the DVD.

S-VCD/VCD features

You can recognise S-VCD/VCDs (video CDs) by the logo on the label.

Depending on the contents of the S-VCD/VCD (films, music videos etc.), the discs may carry one or more tracks.

Like audio CDs, S-VCDs/VCDs have a track structure.

S-VCDs/VCDs can be created using the PBC (playback control) system for track navigation. This depends on the processing and burning software used.

You can control and direct playback of the S-VCD/VCD using the menu on the television screen.

You cannot select some of the functions (slow motion, camera angle, marking scenes) when you are playing an S-VCD/VCD. This depends on how the S-VCD/VCD was created.

Depending on how they were created, S-VCDs can have various subtitles and dubbed languages.

MP3 CD features

MP3 stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 and arises from the Motion Picture Expert Group (MPEG) Standard which was developed for compressing film data.

The MP3 format enables audio files to be saved on a computer with a sound quality similar to that of a CD. This only requires approx. 10% of the original data quantity. The standard encoding bit rate for MP3 files is 128 kbps. Generally, the higher the bit rate of an MP3 file, the better the sound quality.

Most MP3 files on the Internet are encoded at 128 or 160 kbps. 160 kbps is considered CD quality.

MP3 files can be downloaded from the Internet and then burned onto a CD-ROM disc. Your DVD player can read the ID3 tag from the file header, which contains information on title and artist, and display this in the info menu/status display.

MP3 CDs contain sound recordings. They can be played in the normal manner on an audio system. The digital signals transmitted during MP3 playback are PCM coded, regardless of the audio output setting. The signals are output with the same data rate as the music source (possibilities are: 32 kbps – 320 kbps, ideal: 128 kbps).

MP3 files can be organised into folders and subfolders, similar to files within a PC.

JPEG CD features

JPEG stands for Joint Picture Experts Group. This process was designed to compress picture files.

JPEG files can be burned onto a CD along with other file types. Such CDs are known as file CDs or mixed mode CDs. For example, the CD could contain MP3 files (audio) and JPEG files (for example to display album covers).

The files on a JPEG CD can be organised in directories. This structure is similar to that of an MP3 CD.

JPEG CDs only contain data in the compressed JPEG format. This is mostly data from digital cameras or from imaging programs. The data (images) can be displayed individually or in sequence in a slide show.

Audio CD features

An audio CD is identified by this logo.

Audio CDs contain only sound recordings. They can be played in the normal manner on an audio system.

The individual tracks are stored in a sequence. There are no folders.

Features of the DivX®VIDEO CD

DivX©Video is an encoder/decoder, based on the MPEG-4 compression system, which is used to encrypt and display compressed video data.

This enables the DVD player to play back videos compressed in the DivX® format. This results in playback quality with less artefacts and higher compression.

DivX©video files have the suffix .AVI. DivX©Video data are packed into the AVI file along with audio data which is compressed as MP3 data, this means:

DivX©Video and MP3 audio form the AVI file.

Further information on DivX©Video and how to create AVI files can be found under www.DivX Networks.de.

You can see the registration code in the »Child Lock« → »DivX Registration« menu on page 32.

Software information

We wish to point out explicitly that only operating software authorised by GRUNDIG is permissible for the DVD player. This operating software is available from specialist dealers or from the Grundig web sites www.grundig.com or www.grundig.de. Any instance of operating software from a dubious Internet source being loaded to the device will impair functioning and also, since it is an unauthorised intervention, invalidate any claims under the guarantee.

GRUNDIG will refuse to refund any costs resulting in such cases. Any repair costs in such cases, even those occurring within the guarantee period, are to be paid by the customer.

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 "ħ", coloured green, or green & yellow.
