Metz Set Up Guide
Getting the most out of Metz LCD TV is as simple as following these easy steps
Step 1 – Register Devices
Registering devices tells the TV what you’re
connecting and with what connector to enable
optimum processing of all signal types.
Step−by−step:
1) Press ‘Menu’ button on remote control
2) Use arrow keys or press yellow button to
select ‘AV Devices’
3) Select the device type to be connected, then
move cursor to right and select ‘Signal Types’
4) Choose the type of connector to be used (see
notes below for important information)
5) Give input a specific name if desired
6) Check the box marked ‘Connect’
7) Repeat for other components to be connected
Important Notes:
• When connecting sources via component
video:
− Use Component Video input and the Signal
Type ‘YUV’ for standard definition inputs
(interlaced only)
− Use Component Video input and the Signal
Type ‘YUV (HD)’ for high definition inputs
or use the supplied Component−to−DVI
adaptor and the signal Type ‘DVI−YUV’.
• When connecting a PC:
− Use DVI−D signal type when
connecting a PC via a DVI−DVI connection
− Use DVI−A signal type when connecting via
a VGA−to−DVI cable
• Scart connectors can accept composite,
S−Video and RGB inputs
• Scart connectors can output composite and
RGB (one Scart output only)
Terminology:
− CVBS: Composite Video
− YC: S−Video
− YUV: Component Video
− DVI−D: Digital video over DVI cable
− DVI−A: Analogue video over DVI cable
Step 2 – Connect Devices
Once your devices are registered, it’s time to
connect them. The TV will tell you which sockets
to use during the registration process.
Important notes:
1) Make sure all devices are switched off when
making connections
2) Connect TV antenna directly to the RF input
on the LCD TV. Then connect the RF output
from the LCD TV to the VCR or DVD recorder.
This provides the best signal quality to the
digital tuner in the LCD TV.
3) Use an optical digital connection to output
high quality audio from the LCD TV
4) Use the YUV (HD) Signal Type setting or the
DVI input with the supplied Component−to−
DVI adaptor and the Signal Type set to ‘DVI−
YUV’ for progressive or high−definition inputs.
Step 3 – TV Tuning
The hybrid tuner module (analogue and digital
within the one module) allows for easy tuning
and operation.
Step−by−step:
1) With the LCD TV in TV mode (press TV button
on remote to enter TV mode), press the
‘Menu’ button
2) Use arrow keys or press the Red button to go
to the configuration menu
3) Select ‘DVB−T’ for digital TV tuning
4) Move the cursor across and select ‘Automatic
Search’, and press ‘OK’
5) This process can be repeated for analogue
stations if required
6) Stations can be moved and deleted easily.
Press the ‘Menu’ button then the white button
to view the station listing. Follow directions at
bottom of screen to move, copy or delete
stations as required. It’s easier if you move all
stations together up to a blank location then
drop them down into position one by one.
Start at the bottom and work your way up to
ensure they don’t move each other out of
position.
Step 4 – Optimising Picture
Some simple adjustments will help make a Metz
LCD look its best. Here’s how:
Step−by−step:
1) Adjust picture settings – press ‘Menu’ then
select ‘Picture Settings, General’. Adjust to
your preference, but as a guide:
− Brightness: 40−45; Contrast: 70−75
− Colour: 45−50; Colour Impr. (Temp): Neutral
− Sharpness: 1 (DVI/HDMI); 3−4 (Other)
− Motion Compensation: Off
2) Adjust settings for each input if required
− Press ‘Menu’, then select ‘Pict. Set, Prog.
Posn’. Make changes as required.
− For DVD input, set ‘Picture Format’ to 16:9
Step 5 – Optimising Sound
Sound settings are adjusted as per the above
• The default volume setting (the level at which
the TV turns on) can be set by selecting
‘Menu’, then ‘Sound Settings, General’, then
‘Volume’. Move the cursor to ‘Use as Default’
and use the + or – keys to select ‘Yes’
Step 6 – Final Settings
1) To set the time and date: Go to 7 Digital,
which transmits time and date information.
This will be picked up by the TV automatically.
2) To set the TV station or AV input the LCD TV
turns on at, press ‘Menu’ then select
‘Configuration. Go to ‘Operation’, then select
‘Initial Programme position’. Follow directions
at bottom of screen.
3) When all changes have been made, set menu
system to ‘Medium’ or ‘Simple’ operation to
enable quick and easy navigation: Press
‘Menu’, select ‘Configuration’, then select
‘Operation’. Move the cursor to ‘Operation’ in
the right−hand menu and press ‘OK’. Select
Operation Mode using + and − keys.
