Please note the following instructions when setting up the television set:
■ This television is designed to receive and display video and audio signals.
All other uses are expressly prohibited.
■ The ideal viewing distance is five times the diagonal screen size.
■ Light falling on the screen impairs picture quality.
■ To ensure the device is always adequately ventilated, make sure there is sufficient space between the television set and nearby furniture (min 10 cm).
■ The television is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it outdoors, make sure it is protected from moisture such as rain or splashing water.
Never expose the television set to 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 on a hard, level surface.
- Do not place any objects such as newspapers on the television or put cloth or similar items under it.
- Do not place the television close to heating units or in direct sunlight, as this will impair cooling.
■ Heat build-up can be dangerous and shortens the service life of the television. For reasons of safety, have a repairman remove any dirt in the television from time to time.
■ Never open the television under any circumstances. Warranty claims are excluded for damage resulting from improper handling.
■ Make sure the power cord or the power supply unit (if provided) are not damaged.
■ Only operate the television with the power supply/power cord provided.
■ Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even when the television is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains or the antenna. Always disconnect the mains and antenna plugs during a storm.
■ Use a damp, soft cloth to clean the screen. Do not use water with soap or detergent.
■ Only clean the housing of your television set with the cloth provided. Do not use water with soap or detergent.
- When deciding where to put the device, remember that furniture is often coated with various types of varnish and plastic. Many of these contain chemicals which can corrode the feet of the device, leaving marks on the surface of the furniture which can be difficult or impossible to remove.
■ The screen of your LCD television meets the highest quality standards and has been checked for pixel faults.
Despite the great care taken in manufacturing, technological reasons make it impossible to completely discount the possibility that some pixels may be faulty.
Provided they are within the thresholds specified by the DIN norm, pixel faults of this kind cannot be regarded as a defect as defined by the warranty.
■ To ensure fires do not occur, always keep candles and other open flames away from the device.
- Do not connect any other equipment while the device is switched on. Also switch off other equipment before connecting it.
- Do not plug in the power cord of the device until you have connected the external equipment and the antenna.
■ To avoid safety problems arising from the batteries used with the product, follow the instructions below.
In case of misplacement of batteries, they may cause explosion due to short circuit. - Do not expose the batteries to excessive heat such as direct sunlight, fire, etc.
- Do not use old and unused batteries together.
■ Only replace the exhausted batteries with those having the same model, value and properties.
■ To avoid environmental health problems arising from the product, batteries and accessories.
■ Make sure the mains plug is freely accessible.
Caution:
If you plan on using a wall bracket for your television, make sure you read the assembly manual for the wall bracket or have a specialist assemble it.
- When purchasing the wall bracket, make sure that all the fastening points on the television are also on the wall bracket and that they are all used when mounting it.
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).
Receiving digital channels
- You require a satellite antenna to receive digital satellite channels (DVB-S).
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.
■ 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.
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.
As switching off the television set does not completely disconnect it from the mains, pull out the plug to disconnect it from the mains completely.
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.
Connecting the antenna and power cord
1 To receive digital satellite channels (DVB-S), connect the satellite antenna cable to the antenna socket »SATELLITE« on the television set.

Note:
■ When connecting an indoor antenna you may have to try it out at different positions until you get the best reception.
3 Plug the power cord into a wall socket.
Note:
- Do not plug in the power cord of the device until you have connected the external equipment and the antenna.
■ Only use the power cord supplied to connect the television set to a suitable earthed safety socket.
