The device is a Logik 19" HD Ready Digital LED TV, model L19LDIB11. It's designed for home entertainment, offering a range of features for viewing digital television, connecting external AV devices, and playing multimedia content from USB storage.
Function Description
The TV serves as a primary display for various video and audio sources. It supports both Digital Television (DTV) and Analogue Television (ATV) modes, allowing users to tune into available channels. Its "HD Ready" designation indicates compatibility with high-definition signals up to 1080p, though the native display resolution is 1366 x 768 pixels, meaning 1080p content will be scaled to fit the screen.
A key feature is the Electronic Programme Guide (EPG), which provides programme listings, start and end times, and detailed information for digital services for up to 7 days. This helps users navigate viewing options and schedule recordings.
The TV also includes a Personal Video Recorder (PVR) function, enabling users to record DTV programmes onto a connected USB storage device for later viewing. A "Time Shift" function allows for pausing and rewinding live TV broadcasts.
For multimedia playback, the TV supports playing photos, music, movies, and text files directly from a USB storage device. This "DMP mode" (Digital Media Player) allows users to browse and enjoy their personal media collections.
Teletext is available in both ATV and DTV modes, offering up-to-the-minute information on news, weather, and TV programmes.
The Common Interface (CI) slot allows for the insertion of a Common Access Module (CAM) and viewing card, enabling access to scrambled (pay-to-view) services from service providers like TopUp TV (UK only).
CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) functionality is included, allowing users to command and control multiple CEC-enabled devices connected via HDMI using a single TV remote control.
