Hints for use of the Operating Instructions Do not be put off by the size of the Operating Instructions. Initially, it is sufficient to read the instructions in Sections 1.1, 2 and 4. In order to familiarise yourself with the TV set and its many functions, we recommend that you read the Operating Instructions step by step, carrying out the described actions on your TV set as you do so. This method, often called "learning by doing", is the easiest way of learning how to execute the various functions.
Remote control handset RB 11 The remote control sends commands to the TV set with the aid of infrared light. For this reason, you should always point the remote control at the TV set for reliable operation. Use of the remote control may interfere with the operation of other devices or systems controlled which use infrared light (such as infrared headphones). The television must be switched on or in standby mode (ON/OFF key depressed) when it is to be operated by remote control.
1. Setting up and connecting Setting up When selecting a suitable place for the TV, be sure that no bright light or sunlight falls on the screen. Light may cause reflections and impair the brilliance of the image. The best viewing distance is five times the picture tube diagonal, e.g. about 3.5 m for TV sets with a 70 cm screen. 5x cm cm y Connecting the aerial Standard SAT and terrestrial station aerial sockets are fitted at the rear of the TV.
1.1 Turning the TV on and off Turning on with the ON/OFF key Turning on with the remote control The programmes can be directly selected with the 0-9 keys when the television is in standby mode. The last programme watched before the television was switched off can be set with the key. The television is automatically set to standby mode ten minutes after station closedown. However, this is not the case if the station starts to transmit a test card within these ten minutes.
Programme position management 2. Programme selection This TV set can manage up to 225 TV programme positions. If you are connected to a cable network or use a terrestrial aerial, you will not need all of these positions at the moment. If, however, you have a SAT upgrade kit installed, the number of programmes can increase drastically. We do not know how many programmes will be available in the future. For this reason, we have provided plenty of programme positions in reserve.
2. Programme selection Press this key on the remote control.... The screen displays Explanation Last programme With this key, you can switch back and forth between the last two programme positions you selected. Example: You are watching a programme on ITN; during the commercials, you switch to BBC with the aid of the numeric keys . . PRG. You can now switch back and forth between ITN and BBC by pressing the PRG. key. 2.
3. Presetting TV stations Colour and transmission standards In the sub-menu Standard, you can select the colour and/or the transmission standard. The TV set normally recognises the colour standards (PAL, SECAM, NTSC) automatically, but the transmission standard must always be set manually. The multi-standard upgrade kit is required for the additional transmission standards L, I, D/K and NTSC 4.43.
3. Presetting TV stations Direct channel entry/ station search When the TV set leaves the factory, there are no stations programmed. Depending on where you live, the stations have different channel numbers. There are three possible ways of programming the stations: a) Direct channel input b) Station search c) the Autostore function Press this key on the remote control.... The screen displays MENU return 1.
3. Presetting TV stations Autostore function, sorted to countries The autostore function automatically scans through the entire reception range to locate stations. The located stations are presented in the station table and can then be stored by way of the OK key. If you do not like the order in which the stations appear in the station table, you can sort the stations to match your own requirements as described on the next page. Press this key on the remote control.... The screen displays MENU 1.
3.1 Sorting stations In the „Sort“ submenu you can move, exchange, copy, or delete the stationss stored in the programme positions. The „Sort“ submenu is displayed automatically after the autostore function has found all available stations. This menu can also be called at any time from the station table display for subsequent modification of the station programming. Press this key on the remote control.... The screen displays MENU return 1.
3.2 Fine tuning The individual channels are automatically tuned to channel centre for station tuning. As a rule, this automatic tuning will be sufficient. Apply manual fine tuning if automatic tuning does not produce satisfactory results. Select the programme number at which fine tuning is to be completed. Press this key on the remote control.... The screen displays MENU 1.
3.3 Allocating a station logo A logo of up to 8 characters is provided for each station via the VPS signal. The station RTL 2, for example, receives the logo RTL 2. Manual logo allocation is not necessary with most stations. The corresponding station logo appears a few seconds after the picture when a station is selected by direct channel entry. However, an automatic logo only appears for stations which transmit a VPS signal. Press this key on the remote control....

Some stations, for example, are always louder than others, and some stations increase the volume during the commercials.
6. Volume adjustment and forced mono It is possible for TV stations to be received at different volume levels although the volume level settings on the individual programme positions are identical. To overcome this problem, you can set a volume correction factor for each programme position. Example: Programme 1 is soft: volume value 40. Programme 3 is loud: volume value 40. Programme 1 is to be adjusted to the same volume as Programme 3. Switch over to programme position 1.
6.1 Correcting picture deviations It is possible for stations to be received with differing levels of chrominance, picture sharpness and contrast, even though the settings on the individual programme positions are identical. For this reason, your TV set enables you to correct the value for each programme position and/or to select a picture correction function (CTI, noise reduction).

Consequently, the childlock can be set to prevent a child from seeing violent films, yet still provide access to children’s programmess on selected channels. Access to such permitted programmes can be provided in general or within a specified period of time.

8.2 Recording with the timer The menu "Timer recording" is intended primarily for recording Pay-TV programmes (e.g. Premiere).

For this purpose, the video recorder must be connected to the EURO 2 socket. *only if a SAT upgrade kit is fitted 8 timers can be programmed up to 2 months in advance.
9. Connecting headphones Headphones can be connected to the TV by way of the connecting socket underneath the fascia cover at the front. The socket will only accept headphones with a 3.5 mm (Nordkap 6.3 mm) jack plug. We recommend the use of headphones with an impedance of at least 32 Ohms. Headphones of a lower impedance (down to approx.8 Ohms) will impair the sound quality. The headphones volume can be stored as a standard value. The headphones and the TV speakers can be used together.
10. Hi Text Basic functions Hi Text permits broadcasting stations to improve the display of information and graphics. In the past, there were only eight colours available; with Hi Text, there are 4096 possibilities. Furthermore, the introduction of so-called pixel graphics makes it possible to present the information pictorially. The broadcasting stations are currently in the process of adopting these innovations.
