Connectivity: The TV offers extensive connectivity options:
Voice Control: The TV recognizes speech through its voice control microphone, allowing users to change channels, adjust volume, search for programmes, and perform internet searches. This feature requires the remote control to be registered (paired) with the TV and an internet connection.
Initial Setup: Upon first power-on, the TV guides users through an automatic setup process to search for available TV channels and configure initial settings. This includes selecting the country, viewing environment ([Home] or [Shop]), and setting up the network connection. Users can choose between satellite antenna setup (Dual Tuner / Single Tuner) or DVB-C network settings.
Remote Control: The supplied remote control can communicate with the TV via either Bluetooth® wireless technology or infrared. For voice control functionality, the remote control must be registered (paired) with the TV.

Regular Care: For general cleaning, gently wipe the display panel, cabinet, and pedestal with a soft cloth to remove dirt and fingerprints.
Stubborn Dirt Removal: For more persistent dirt, users should first clean dust from the surface, then dampen a soft cloth with clean water or diluted neutral detergent (1 part detergent to 100 parts water). The cloth should be wrung out firmly to prevent liquid from entering the TV. After wiping away the dirt, all moisture should be removed with a dry cloth.
Mains Plug Maintenance: The mains plug should be wiped with a dry cloth at regular intervals to prevent fire or electrical shock caused by moisture and dust.
