User guide
For your safety, and to avoid unnecessary damage to your unit,
please read and follow the safety advice below:
Use for the intended purpose and ambient conditions
This TV set is intended exclusively for rendering video and audio signals
and is designed for use in residential apartments or office premises.
It must not be used in rooms with a high level of humidity (e.g., bath-
room, sauna) or a high dust concentration (e.g., workshops). The
manufacturer‘s warranty is only valid for use in the specified permis-
sible environment.
If the unit is used outdoors, make sure that it is protected from moisture
(rain, dripping water and splashing water or dew). High humidity and
dust concentrations lead to leakage currents in the device. This can
result in a shock hazard by touching it or even fire.
If you have moved the unit out of
the cold into a warm environment,
leave it switched off for about an
hour to avoid the formation of
condensation.
Do not place objects containing
liquids on top of the unit. Protect
the appliance against dripping and
splashing water.
Candles or naked flames must be
kept away from the TV set at all
times to prevent it from catching
fire.
Never place the TV set in a location where it is exposed to vibrations.
This can lead to material overload.
Transporting
Move the device in vertical position only. Grasp the device on the
upper and lower edges of the housing.
The set is delivered ex factory without a mounting option. Do not stand
it up on the bottom edge, so as to reduce the risk of damage and soil-
ing. If the set has to be put down during packing/unpacking, place the
TV set with its entire front surface lying flat on soft material such as a
blanket or the fleece from the packing material. Use a blanket or the
fleece from the packing material as an underlay.
The LCD screen is made of glass or plastic and can break if not handled
properly.
Always wear rubber gloves to carry the TV set if the LCD screen is
damaged and liquid crystal might be leaking out. In the case of skin
contact immediately rinse thoroughly with water.
Power supply
Incorrect voltages can damage the unit. This device may only be con-
nected to a power supply with the voltage and frequency indicated on the
type plate using the supplied mains cable. The mains plug of the TV set
must be easily accessible so that the device can be disconnected from
the mains at any time. When unplugging the unit from the mains, pull at
the connector body and not at the cable. The cables in the mains plug
could otherwise be damaged and could cause a short-circuit when
plugged in again.
Lay the mains cable so that it can not be damaged. The power cable
may not be kinked or laid over sharp edges, stood on or exposed to
chemicals; the latter also applies to the unit as a whole. A power
cable with damaged insulation can cause electric shocks and poses
a fire risk.
Air circulation and high temperatures
The vent slots on the rear panel of the set must always be kept un-
obstructed. Please do not place newspapers or cloths on/over the TV
set.
Ensure that there is at least
10 cm free space on the
sides and above the set for
air circulation, if the set is
placed in a cabinet or on a
shelf.
Like any electronic device,
your TV set requires air for
cooling. Obstruction of the
air circulation can cause fires.
Prevent metal items, nee-
dles, paper clips, liquids,
wax, or similar items, from getting into the interior of the device through
the vent slots in the rear panel. Such objects can cause short circuits
in the set, which could possibly cause a fire.
If something should get into the interior of the set then immedi-
ately unplug the mains plug of the device and contact the field service
for more information.
Set-up
The set is suitable for mounting in many different ways. Note the as-
sembly instructions regarding the different possible mounting options.
Before setting up the device, please check that the final location is
suitable to bear the load of the device in terms of surface (sensitivity
to pressure) and stability.
Place the TV set with the table or floor stand only on a level, sturdy,
horizontal base. Particularly ensure that the set does not protrude
to the front when placed in or on pieces of furniture.
Place the TV set in a normal position for use. TV set may only be used
in an upright horizontal position. It may not be tilted by more than 10
degrees. The TV set must never be operated vertically, lying flat or
hanging overhead from the ceiling.
Set up the device where it is not exposed to direct insolation and
where it is not exposed to additional heating by radiators.
Automatic shutdown
If the TV is not operated for 4 hours (adjustment of volume, pro-
gramme change, etc.) the TV will automatically switch to stand-by
mode to save energy. A prompt to terminate this shutdown process
appears one minute before expiry of the 4 hours.
The automatic shutdown is generally active for the TV mode as soon as
the energy efficiency mode Home Mode is enabled for at least one of
the six signal input groups (see page 144). This also applies if another
energy efficiency mode is selected when putting into operation for the
first time (see page 21), but one of the six signal input groups is
subsequently set to Home Mode.
Automatic shutdown does not occur when using the radio without
screen display (screen off).
