INSTALLATION AND SAFETY _______________________________
In order to assure that this high-quality and easy-to-use TV set will be able to
provide you with good service and pleasure for a long time to come, it is impor-
tant that you observe the following points when installing the TV set.
The TV set has been designed for the reception and reproduction of picture and
sound signals.
Any other use is explicitly forbidden.
The ideal viewing distance from the screen is 5 times the diagonal width of the
screen (about 5.5 m). External light shining on the screen adversely affects
picture quality.
Assure that there is enough space when installing the set in a wall recess.
The TV set is designated for operation in dry rooms. Should you nevertheless
operate it outside, make absolutely sure that it is protected against dampness
(rain, water splashes). Never expose the TV set to any sort of moisture.
Do not place vessels filled with fluid (vases or similar things) on the TV set.
The vessel may tip over and the fluid may adversely affect electrical safety.
Do not place objects (for example, newspapers) on the TV set.
Do not place the TV set close to the heating or in direct sunshine as it could
overheat.
Heat build-up can be dangerous and is detrimental to the service life of the TV
set.
For safety reasons, from time to time, have a technician come to clean the inside of
the set, the blower and the inside of the pane. Consult your authorized dealer.

INSTALLATION AND SAFETY___________________________________________________
Do not open the TV set under any circumstance. The manufacturer will offer no
liability for damage resulting from unauthorized tampering.
Use only original GRUNDIG connection cables, accessories and spare parts.
Be sure that the mains cable is not damaged at any time.
Storms represent a danger for every type of electrical device. Even if the set is
switched off, it could be damaged by a lightning strike hitting the mains and/or
the aerial lead. Therefore, always disconnect the mains plug and aerial plug
when there is a storm.
Clean the picture screen only with the cloth supplied.
For cleaning the picture screen housing, use only a soft cloth moistened with
clean water.
This TV set combines technology and ecology in a well thought-out overall con-
cept. Only ecologically high-quality materials are used. The packaging is made
almost entirely of 100% recycled paper, and the portion of plastic has been
reduced to a minimum. The batteries supplied have no mercury or cadmium.
The number of plastic types has been reduced in order to ensure high-quality
recycling when the set is put out of use – all larger plastic parts are marked.
To facilitate maintenance work and recycling, this TV set is easy to disassemble.
This digital TV set provides optimum picture and sound quality.
Condition for this is a perfectly operating aerial system and a high-quality
aerial cable.
For this reason, use only the aerial cable supplied or an aerial cable of
equivalent quality.
For the same reason, avoid cable loops near the TV set.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION________________________________
Still picture
If a still picture is displayed very long (several hours) on the picture screen, it
may happen that it remains visible some time as “ghost picture” when changing
the programme. After some time this ghost picture disappears again.
This phenomenon is caused by a kind of memory effect. To prevent this effect, it
is recommended to switch on a screen saver when the Planavision is operated in
connection with a PC.
Colour distortions
If the Planavision is not used for a long period of time (over one year), it may
happen that colour distortions occur.
This effect can be considered normal for a plasma picture screen. After some
time, the colour distortions will disappear.
Failure of colour pixels
A plasma picture screen consists of about 1.2 million colour pixels.
It must be expected that a small percentage of theses pixels (0,001%) within an
industrial standard tolerance may be defect.
This is not visible in an animated picture.
Air pressure
The plasma picture screen functions technologically with inert gas under the
influence of air pressure.
In heights 2000m above sea level, the picture may become instable and the
picture quality affected. However, if the set is operated below 2000m above sea
level again, this effect disappears and the set will operate correctly again.

8
IMPORTANT INFORMATION___________________________________________________
Humidity
Do not operate the Planavision in areas of high humidity (e.g. in tropical
regions). The maximum permissible humidity is 85%.
Remote control of external devices
For technical reasons it may happen in exceptional cases that an external device
(video recorder, DVD player or similar) does not correctly respond to the
remote control commands.
If this should be the case, change the position of the external device, or change
the batteries in the remote control of the external device.
Display of a VGA picture
Check and correct if necessary the VGA mode setting on your PC
(640 x 480/60Hz, 640 x 400/70Hz, 640 x 350/70Hz).
To ensure an optimum picture quality, use only a correctly shielded VGA cable
(e.g. ferrite core) for a cable length over two meters.
When using a laptop:
In addition to checking the resolution setting, make sure that the laptop has been
set for operation with an external video source (moitor).

ENGLISH

Your Planavision is equipped with an “Easy Dialog System”.
That means that operating instructions are not, as is usual, in a printed manual,
but rather appear on the screen as dialog fields.
The DIALOGCENTER
The DIALOGCENTER is the control centre for your Planavision.
Here you can make a variety of settings, call up information, and get specific
help for operating your television (e.g. info about the remote control, a list of
key words, tips and tricks).
Just try it out. You can’t do anything wrong.
1Call up the DIALOGCENTER with »i«and then »OK«.
– At every step of operation, the DIALOGCENTER shows which buttons can
be used to carry out particular functions.
