Operating additional equipment Login and connect equipment You have logged in and connected all connected equipment in the initial start-up. If you want to connect other equipment or disconnect equipment, call the connection wizard. Search for and store the station of the video recorder (if no Euro AV cable is available) Switch on the test station on the VCR or insert a recorded tape and start playback. In some video recorders the station must be switched on by activating the modulator.
Operating additional equipment Video playback There are several ways to see the picture and hear the sound of the VCR, DVD player or camcorder on your TV: 1. You can use the Euro AV sockets on the TV set and on the VCR. This is the best way to get a good picture and sound quality. Use the EXT 4 input on the left of the TV for camcoders and digital cameras.
Operating additional equipment Assignment of digital audio in- and outputs Audio input “AUDIO DIGITAL IN” The TV set has a coaxial digital audio input “AUDIO DIGITAL IN” and a coaxial digital audio output “AUDIO DIGITAL OUT”. If you are using an external digital surround amplifier for sound reproduction, you have to feed digital audio signals to the TV, e.g. from the DVD player.
Operating additional equipment Audio amplifiers or active speakers In the connection wizard set “HiFi/AV amplifier” under “AV setup -> Audio equipment selection”, “HiFi/AV amplifier”. The connection wizard allows configuration of different audio amplifiers (stereo amplifiers, surround amplifiers, analogue or digital) with different sound formats (Dolby Digital, dts, MPEG and Stereo/PCM). Have a look at the audio amplifier manual. Select “Audio transmission” “digital” for digital audio amplifiers.
Operating additional equipment HDMI connection The HDMI connection (High Definiton Multimedia Interface) allows digital picture and audio transmission via a connecting cable, e.g. from DVD players. The digital picture and sound data are transmitted without data compression and therefore lose none of their quality. No analogue/digital conversion is necessary in the connected equipment which also led to losses in quality.
Operating additional equipment Sound from PC or Set Top Box Feed the analogue audio signal from the PC or the STB to the sockets AUDIO IN L/R on the TV via a cinch cable. The sound is reproduced by the TV speakers. If you have connected a digital external audio amplifier, you can select the digital audio signal in the connection wizard (“TV menu – Connections – AV setup”) and assign it to the PC IN socket. You do the other settings for the audio amplifier as described for the digital amplifier on page 33.
