This document is a user guide for a Blaupunkt HD Ready LED TV with Freeview and USB PVR. It provides comprehensive instructions for setting up, operating, and maintaining the television, ensuring a safe and enjoyable user experience.

Function Description

The Blaupunkt HD Ready LED TV serves as a primary display device for various forms of media, including broadcast television, digital content from external sources, and media stored on USB devices. Its core function is to provide high-definition visual and audio output. The TV is equipped with Freeview, allowing access to a wide range of digital television and radio channels without the need for a separate set-top box. The integrated USB PVR (Personal Video Recorder) functionality enables users to record, pause, and rewind live TV, offering enhanced control over their viewing experience. This feature transforms the television into a more interactive and flexible entertainment hub. The TV supports multiple input sources, including HDMI, SCART, Component, Composite AV, and VGA/PC, making it compatible with a broad array of external devices such as DVD players, game consoles, and computers. It also includes audio outputs for connecting to external sound systems, providing flexibility for enhanced audio experiences.

Usage Features

The television is designed for ease of use, with a straightforward remote control and on-screen menu system.

• Channel Navigation and Tuning: Users can select channels directly using number buttons on the remote or navigate through the channel list. The TV supports auto-tuning for digital and analogue channels, as well as manual tuning for fine-grained control. The 7-Day TV Guide (Freeview mode) provides detailed programme information and allows users to set reminders for upcoming shows. The channel edit function enables users to delete, move, skip, and mark favourite channels, personalizing their channel lineup.
• Picture and Sound Customization: The TV offers various picture modes (Dynamic, Standard, Mild, Personal, Economy) to suit different viewing preferences and environments. In "Personal" mode, users can adjust contrast, brightness, colour, sharpness, and tint. Aspect ratio settings allow for optimal display of different content formats (16:9, 4:3, Point2Point, Original, Zoom1, Zoom2). Noise reduction settings help improve picture quality. For audio, the TV provides sound modes (Standard, Music, Movie, Sports, Personal) and allows adjustment of balance, auto volume level (AVL), and audio description volume. Digital output options (Off, Auto, PCM) are available for connecting to external audio systems.
• USB PVR Functionality: The USB PVR feature is a significant enhancement, allowing users to pause live TV (Time Shift), record current programmes with a single button press, and schedule recordings from the 7-Day TV Guide. This requires a compatible high-speed USB memory stick or hard drive. The TV can record one channel while in standby mode or while another channel is being watched.
• USB Media Player: The TV's USB mode also functions as a media player, allowing playback of various file types (Photo, Music, Movie, Text) stored on a USB memory stick. Users can navigate through folders and files, and control playback using the remote.
• Connectivity and Source Selection: The TV features multiple input ports, including three HDMI ports, two USB ports, SCART, Mini Composite/AV, Mini Component/YPbPr, and VGA/PC. Users can easily switch between these input sources using the remote control or the TV's side buttons.
• Time and Setup Settings: The "Time Menu" allows users to view the current clock, set the time zone, configure a sleep timer, adjust the OSD (On Screen Display) timer, and set auto standby duration. The "Setup Menu" provides options for language selection (menu, audio, subtitle), enabling/disabling hearing impaired functions, blue screen settings, first-time installation, HDMI CEC control (for operating multiple HDMI devices with one remote), software updates via USB, and resetting the TV to factory settings.
• Lock Menu: The "Lock Menu" offers parental control features, including system/hotel lock, password change, channel lock, parental guidance based on age rating, TV button lock, default source and channel settings, maximum volume control, and source lock. The default password for accessing these settings is 0000.
• Sky Box Integration: The guide provides detailed instructions for connecting the TV to a Sky digital set-top box, both when the TV and Sky box are in the same room (via SCART or HDMI) and when they are in different rooms (using an RF/COAX cable and a TV Link/Magic Eye). It also includes the Sky remote control code (2134) for operating the TV's basic functions with a Sky remote.

Maintenance Features

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of the television.

• Cleaning: The TV should be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. For extremely dirty surfaces, a soft cloth dipped in a soap and water solution or a weak detergent solution can be used. Alcohol, paint thinner, or benzene should never be used for cleaning, as these can damage the unit. Chemically treated cloths should be used according to their instructions. Care must be taken to prevent water or other liquids from entering the display panel surface, as this can cause malfunctions.
• Safety Precautions: The guide emphasizes several safety instructions, including protecting the TV from dust, rain, and moisture, and ensuring adequate ventilation by not placing it in a confined space. Open flames should be kept away from the product. The mains plug is fused and should only be replaced with a fuse of the same amperage and BSI approval. The mains plug should remain readily operable for easy disconnection.
• Environmental Disposal: The television and its components, including batteries, should be disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner, following local authority guidelines for recycling. Batteries should not be exposed to high temperatures or fire, and correct polarity must be observed when inserting them. Different types or old and new batteries should not be mixed.
• Packaging: Users are advised to save the original box and packaging for safe transport in case of warranty/service repair or support. The manufacturer cannot carry out warranty/service if the item cannot be packaged correctly.
• Fixed Image Prevention: To prevent permanent "shadow images" or "screen burn" on the LCD/LED panel from extended display of fixed images (like channel logos, time displays, or menus), users are advised to reduce brightness/contrast, avoid displaying fixed images for long periods, and turn off the TV when not in use. This type of panel deterioration is irreversible and not covered under warranty.
• Wall Mounting: When wall mounting, it is crucial to use only the screws provided in the wall mounting holes to avoid irreparable damage to internal parts. Before drilling, ensure no electrical wires, water, or gas pipes are present in the wall. The TV should be tilted downwards if mounted higher than eye level for optimum viewing.
• Software Updates: The TV supports software updates via USB, which can improve operation. Users are directed to the product support section of the website or helpline for details on how to perform these updates.
