1. Installation  
Take care that no bright artificial light or sunshi-  
ne falls directly on the screen. This could cause  
reflections which have a negative effect on the  
brilliance of the picture.  
5x cm  
• The optimum viewing distance is about  
five times the screen diagonal dimen-  
sion. For TV sets with a 70 cm screen, it  
is thus about 3.5 metres.  
y
• The antenna cable and any other components  
(such as a video recorder) connected between  
the antenna socket in the wall and the TV set  
must comply with the European standard  
EN 60966-2-4.  
• There may be no magnetic fields in the immedi-  
ate vicinity of the TV set. Keep loudspeaker  
boxes well away from the set.  
• The antenna cable used for connecting the TV  
set must have a screening attenuation of at least  
75 dB.  
• The use of non-approved cables will invalidate  
the operating permission for the TV set.  
• For details of how to connect peripheral devices  
such as video recorders, DVD players, etc. press  
the „INFO“ key to call the help function, select  
„Connecting AV devices“ with the cursor and  
press „OK“ to display the information.

2. Safety notes  
• Always place the monitor on a solid, stable sur-  
face.  
• If a cold TV set is moved to a warm room,  
always allow any condensation on the screen to  
evaporate before switching it on.  
• The TV set is intended for use in a dry room. If,  
in exceptional circumstances, you use it out-  
doors, take care that is protected against moi-  
sture (rain, splashed water, dew).  
• TV sets need adequate ventilation. Never cover  
the openings on the rear of the set with curtains,  
doilies, newspapers, etc. Also take care that the  
slits in the bottom of the case are freely accessi-  
ble so that the intake of the cooling air is not  
hindered.  
• If you place the TV set in a wall unit, leave suffi-  
cient space on all sides for the circulation of  
cooling air.  
y
• Do not place the TV set close to a radiator, since  
this would effect adequate cooling.  
• Do not place  
burning candles or  
vessels containing liquids (vases, etc.)  
on top of the TV set, since any hot wax or water  
dripping into the set could cause serious damage  
to the electronic components and could also jeo-  
pardize the electrical safety of the set.  
4
2. Safety notes  
• Lightning can damage electrical equipment. A  
lightning flash entering the power cable or the  
aerial cable can damage the TV set even if it is  
switched off. You should therefore disconnect  
the power cable and aerial cable from their out-  
lets or from the TV set in the case of a thunder-  
storm.  
• The monitor may be opened and repaired only  
by a qualified person.  
CAUTION! HIGH VOLTAGES CAN KILL!  
If repairs should be necessary, consult your  
local dealer.  
• Always switch off the TV set before cleaning it.  
• Do not hold the remote control directly in front  
of your eyes and press a button. The remote  
control emits infrared radiation!  
• Do not place rechargeable batteries in the bat-  
tery compartment of the remote control.  
Use only two 1.5 V dry batteries of the type  
LR03/AM4/AAA (Micro).  
• The TV set is intended only for the reception and  
reproduction of picture and sound signals.  
• The TV set may be operated only from a mains  
voltage of 230 VAC, 50/60 Hz.  
Australia: 240 VAC.  
• Lay the power cable so that nothing stands on it  
and no-one can trip over it.

3. Remote control unit  
The remote control unit transmits com-  
mands to the TV set with the aid of infra-  
red light. You should always point the  
remote control unit directly at the TV set.  
The remote control unit may possibly  
interfere with other infrared devices (such  
as infrared headphones) within its range.  
Sunlight falling directly on the TV set may  
interfere with the operation of the remote  
control unit, because the TV set cannot  
detect the infrared signals from it. The TV  
set must first be switched on with the  
main switch before the remote control unit  
can be used.

NexTView is an Electronic Program Guide (EPG)  
for all important programme providers. This EPG  
is transmitted by various stations and also con-  
tains the programme data for the other stations.  
The TV set needs about 30 minutes to collect the  
large amount of data for the first time.  
• On TV sets with two tuners (standard configura-  
tion) the data are collected by the second tuner  
(see the next page) during normal operation of  
the TV set. When the data have been collected,  
the TV set stores the EPG in a special memory.  
The EPG is updated regularly in this memory as  
long as the TV set is not switched off with the  
main switch.  
• On TV sets with only one tuner (e.g. if your set  
has been converted and has only one satellite  
tuner):  
- the set must be left tuned to the NeexTView pro-  
gramme position for at least 30 minutes, or  
- the data are collected during the night (between  
02:30 - 03:00) while the set is in standby mode.

• Satellite upgrade kit 085 NL 1018  
similar to the above, but also capable of recei-  
ving ADR (Astra Digital Radio) stations.  
• DVB-S digital upgrade kit 027 NL 1119 (CI)  
for the reception of digital TV and radio stations  
from a satellite. The upgrade kit is installed in the  
TV set and no additional remote control is needed.  
• DVB-T upgrade kit 056 NH 1114 (CI)  
for the reception of digital TV and radio stations  
transmitted by terrestrial transmitters, which can  
be received with a rod antenna or a roof-mounted  
terrestrial antenna. The upgrade kit is installed in  
the TV set and no additional remote control is nee-  
ded.  
For other upgrade kits, please consult your local  
dealer.  
Important note for users of the TV set:  
Unauthorised modification of this TV set, in parti-  
cular changing the high voltage or using a CRT of  
a different type, can result in the emission of high  
levels of X-ray radiation. TV sets modified in this  
manner no longer conform to the official appro-  
val for operation and may not be used.

30. Connecting headphones  
The headphone socket is located on the front of  
the TV set. On many models, you must first open a  
cover by pressing at the marked location in order  
to expose the socket.  
We recommend using headphones with an impe-  
dance of at least 32 . The use of headphones  
with a lower impedance (about 8 ) will reduce  
the dynamic range.  
The headphone volume can be saved as one of  
the standard settings. In the case of dual-language  
programmes, you can listen to either sound chan-  
nel 1 or 2 on the headphones, regardless of the  
channel selected for the loudspeakers.  
31. Cleaning the TV set  
Always switch off the TV set with the main  
switch before cleaning it!  
Clean the case of the TV set only with a soft, dry  
(or slightly moistened) cloth. Do not use aggressive  
detergents or scouring powders, since these could  
damage the paintwork and/or remove the inscrip-  
tions. Clean the screen with a moist window leat-  
her.

32. Glossary  
AV programme position  
AV devices have one or more sockets, depending  
on the model. These sockets are labelled on the  
device, for example with AV1.  
These sockets can be selected on the AV device  
and the selected socket is shown on the display of  
the AV device, for example A1 for socket AV1.  
Code  
The settings for the childlock are protected by a 4-  
digit numerical code which you can set a desired.  
Write down or remember the code you define. If  
you forget the code, ask your local dealer for assi-  
stance  
CTI  
The CTI (Colour Transient Improvement) circuit is  
an electronic circuit which ensures precise transi-  
tions between differently coloured parts of the pic-  
ture, preventing the colour smearing which could  
otherwise occur. The CTI function is active for pro-  
grammes received via the antenna input and for  
picture signals from AV devices.  
Comb filter2)  
In conventional TV sets, the luminance signal and  
the chrominance information are separated from  
each other with a frequency separating filter.  
However, this means that a certain amount of the  
luminance signal is still included in the colour sig-  
nal and can cause interference (cross-luminance)  
and that a certain amount of the colour signal  
causes interference in the luminance signal (cross-  
colour). The comb filter prevents these problems.  
Just like a comb, this filter extracts the colour sig-  
nal, which is located in the gaps of the luminance  
signal, without affecting the bandwidth of the  
luminance signal. The result is a TV picture with  
the maximum possible resolution and without  
cross-colour or cross-luminance interference.  
2) Available only on TV sets  
which are equipped with this  
option.

32. Glossary  
Tone settings  
You can switch the tone settings between  
„Normal“ and „Speech“.  
Noise reduction  
This setting can be used to improve the quality of  
pictures with „snow“ or other noise resulting from  
poor reception conditions. Depending on the  
amount of interference, various correction facilities  
are available and the noise reduction can be set  
individually for each programme position.  
Standard settings  
Standard settings are all values (such as bright-  
ness, volume, chrominance, etc.) which are the  
same for all programme positions.  
Panorama 2)  
The panorama function permits "normal" pro-  
grammes in 4:3 format to be adapted to the 16:9  
format of the CRT. This is done by expanding the  
width of the picture to fill the entire width of the  
screen.  
Noise reduction  
This setting can be used to improve the quality of  
pictures with „snow“ or other noise resulting from  
poor reception conditions. Depending on the  
amount of interference, various correction facilities  
are available and the noise reduction can be set  
individually for each programme position.  
Rotation2)  
This function can be used to compensate for the  
Earths magnetic field. It may be needed when the  
TV set is first installed, or if the TV set is moved to  
a different location, and the picture is not aligned  
horizontally on the screen.  
VCR  
2) Available only on TV sets  
which are equipped with this  
option.  
The VCR function ensures optimum picture quality  
when playing back recordings from tape devices

32. Glossary  
such as camcorders and video recorders.  
Forced mono  
In some cases, your TV set may switch from mono  
to stereo during a programme, although the station  
is not transmitting a stereo signal. This is normally  
due to the local reception conditions. If you activate  
„forced mono“ for the selected programme posi-  
tions, all programmes will be reproduced in mono,  
regardless of the received signal.
