Thank you
Dear Customer,
thank you for selecting this Metz
product.
In this TV set, we have provided
a menu guidance system which,
we believe, will permit you to
operate the set easily.
However, before using the set for
the first time, you should at least
read Sections 1 to 7 of these
Operating Instructions.
Your METZ-WERKE
The TFT-LCD screen is a high-
technology product with about
one million integrated foil tran-
sistors which provide a high-
resolution picture.
Occasionally, some inactive
pixels may appear on the screen
as fixed blue, green or red dots.
Please note that these do not
affect the performance of the TV
set.

1. Setting up
The TV is delivered complete with
base and wall bracket.
Fitting the base
Slide the base into the slots provi-
ded for it and secure it carefully
with four screws (M4 x 16mm).
Wall mounting
Non-compliance with these instructions can result in serious injuries to
persons and/or major damage to the TV set.
The TFT monitor may be mounted only on vertical walls, using the wall
bracket.
Never attempt to mount the wall bracket and the monitor on your own;
always obtain the assistance of a second person.
• Take great care when securing the wall bracket to the wall. The bracket must not
only support the monitor under normal circumstances, but must also withstand any
shocks, vibration, etc. which may occur.
• Before starting work, check the stability and thickness of the wall. Ask your local
DIY store for suitable metal screws and wall plugs.
• The wall must be solid and capable of handling the load (i.e. it must be made of
bricks, limestone blocks, concrete or similar materials).
• If the wall is made of other materials (such as wood, plasterboard, etc.) have the
wall bracket mounted by an experienced tradesman.

Wall mounting
Remove the base (if it is fitted).
• Remove the four caps from the
rear side.
• Insert the enclosed plastic
bolts in the holes and carefully
secure each one with a screw
M6x20 mm.
• Hold the wall bracket against
the wall at the desired posi-
tion and mark the positions of
the four mounting holes.
• Screw the wall bracket to the
wall with wall plugs and
screws.
• Insert the plastic bolts on the
TV set into the keyholes of the
bracket and push the TV set
fully downwards.
• Take care that no bright lights (including sunshine) shine directly on the screen, sin-
ce this can cause reflections and reduce the apparent brilliance of the picture.
• The best viewing distance is about five times the diagonal dimension of the screen.
For a TV set with a 75 cm screen, it is thus about 3.75 m.
• All cables and components connected between the antenna/broadband socket in
the wall and the TV set must comply with European Standard EN 60966-2-4.
• There may be no magnetic fields in the immediate vicinity of the TV set. External
loudspeakers should thus be positioned at a suitable distance from the set.
• The antenna connection cable used for the set should have a screening attenuation
of at least 75 dB.
• The use of unapproved cables and components will invalidate the type approval of
the TV set.

2. Safety notes
• Place the TV set on a solid surface
which is capable of bearing the
weight!
• If you bring a cold TV set into a warm
room, wait until any condensation has
evaporated before switching it on.
• The TV set is intended for use in dry
rooms. If, in exceptional cases, you
want to use it outdoors, take care that
it is not exposed to moisture (rain,
splashwater, dew).
• TV sets need sufficient cooling to pre-
vent them from overheating. Ensure
that the slots in the rear cover are not
blocked by curtains, doily, newspa-
pers, etc. Also keep the slots on the
bottom of the set free so that cool air
can enter the set.
• If you install the TV set in a wall cabi-
net, ensure that there is sufficient space
around it to permit the circulation of
cooling air.
• Do not position the TV set in the imme-
diate vicinity of a radiator or other
heater, since this could cause it to
overheat.
• Do not place
- burning candles
- vases, etc. containing liquids
on or above the TV set. Hot wax or
other liquids which enter the set will
destroy its electronic components. In
such cases, safe operation of the set is
no longer guaranteed.
• Thunderstorms can damage electrical
devices. Lightning hitting overhead
power cables or the antenna can cau-
se considerable damage to the set,
even if it is switched off. If there is a
risk of a thunderstorm, you should
remove the power cable from the wall
outlet and disconnect the antenna
cable from the outlet or from the TV
set.
• Only suitably trained persons may
open the set and/or carry out repairs.
CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCKS!
If repairs should be necessary, please
consult your local dealer.
• Always switch off the TV set with the
mains switch before cleaning it!
• Do not point the remote control into
your eyes and press any keys. The
infrared radiation can damage your
eyes!
• Do not use rechargeable batteries in
the remote control. Use only two dry
batteries of the type LR03/AM4/AAA
1.5V Micro.
• The TV set is intended only for the
reception and display of picture and
sound signals.
• The TV set may be operated only from
a mains voltage of 220 – 240VAC˜,
50Hz.
• Lay the mains cable so that no-one can
trip over it and so that no objects (fur-
niture, etc.) stand on it!
• Repairs may be carried out only by
suitably qualified persons.
