Please note the following instructions when setting up the television
set.
This television is designed to receive and display video and audio
signals.
Any other use is expressly prohibited.
The ideal viewing distance is five times the diagonal screen size.
Light falling on the screen impairs picture quality.
To assure sufficient ventilation, make sure there is enough space
around it in the wall unit.
The television is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it out-
doors, make sure it is protected from moisture such as rain or splash-
ing water. Never expose the television set to moisture.
Do not place any vessels such as vases on the television, as they may
spill liquid, thus presenting a safety risk.
Place the television on a hard, level surface. Do not place any objects
such as newspapers on the television or put cloth or similar items
under it.
Do not place the television close to heating units or in direct sunlight,
as this will impair cooling.
Heat build-up can be dangerous and shortens the service life of the
television. For reasons of safety, have a repairman remove any dirt
in the television from time to time.
Never open the television under any circumstances. No warranty
claims are accepted for damage caused by incorrect handling.
Make sure the power cord or the power supply unit (if provided) are
not damaged.
Only operate the television with the power supply/power cord pro-
vided.
Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even when the
television is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to
the mains or the antenna. Always disconnect the mains and antenna
plugs during a storm.
Use a damp, soft cloth to clean the screen. Do not use water with
soap or detergent.
Only clean the television housing with the cloth provided. Do not use
water with soap or detergent.
SET-UP AND SAFETY ------------------------------------------------------------

4
When deciding where to put the device, remember that furniture is
often coated with various types of varnish and plastic. Many of these
contain chemicals which can corrode the feet of the device, leaving
marks on the surface of the furniture which can be difficult or im-
possible to remove.
The screen of your LCD television meets the highest quality standards
and has been checked for pixel faults.
Despite the great care taken in manufacturing, technological reasons
make it impossible to completely discount the possibility that some
pixels may be faulty.
Provided they are within the thresholds specified by the DIN norm,
pixel faults of this kind cannot be regarded as a defect as defined by
the warranty.
Notes:
Do not connect any other equipment while the device is switched
on. Switch off the other devices as well before connecting them.
Do not plug in the power cord of your device until you have con-
nected the external equipment and the antenna.
Make sure the power plug is freely accessible.
Caution:
If you plan on using a wall bracket for your television, make sure
you read the assembly manual for the wall bracket or have a spe-
cialist assemble it for you.
When purchasing the wall bracket, make sure that all the fasten-
ing points on the television are also on the wall bracket and that
they are all used when mounting it.
SET-UP AND SAFETY ------------------------------------------------------------

Connecting the antenna and power cord
1Plug the roof antenna cable into the antenna socket TUNER on

Notes:
Do not plug in the power cord of your device until you have con-
nected the external equipment and the antenna.
Only connect the television using the power cord supplied to a
suitable earthed safety socket.
Do not use an adapter plug or extension lead which does not
meet the applicable safety standards. Do not tamper with the
power cord.
