3.3.3 Transport
The device should only be transported when positioned upright. When doing so, do not han-
dle the HDTV via the loudspeakers.
3.3.4 Safety
For your own protection, please read the safety instructions carefully before commencing
operation of your new unit. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage caused by inap-
propriate operation, or by non-compliance with safety precautions.
- The device includes a permanently integrated hard disk.
No provision is made for any modification not authorized by TechniSat and if this is
performed, this will mean that TechniSat can no longer pledge that the device con-
tinues to conform to the legal requirements (e.g. laws on device and product safety,
laws concerning the electromagnetic compatibility of devices). The 'CE marking' shall
also become inapplicable. In the event of resale of the modified unit, the modifying
party shall indemnify the manufacturer as appropriate. In addition, the TechniSat
guarantee shall no longer be applicable and warranty rights may also be rendered
null and void.
- The unit may only be operated in a temperate climate.
- Do not place any burning objects, such as burning candles, on top of the unit.
- When the TV set has been exposed to cold conditions following delivery or while in
transit, do not switch on immediately; await temperature equalization.
- Do not subject the unit to water spray or droplets, and do not place any objects filled
with liquid, e.g. vases, on top of the unit. If water infiltrates into the device, immedi-
ately unplug from the mains and notify the service department.
- Do not place the TV set within narrow shelves or cabinets, allow at least 10 cm venti-
lation distance for the device.
- To allow internal heat to dissipate from the device, the device incorporates ventilation
slits. Ensure these ventilation slits are not covered by any objects, such as e.g. news-
papers, tablecloths etc.
- Do not operate any sources of heat near the unit, which could cause it to heat further.
- Do not place any objects through the ventilation slits.

- During storms, extended periods of non-use or absence, the mains plug and all
antenna plugs should be disconnected. Overvoltage may damage the device.
- In the event of any device defect, odor or smoke developing, significant malfunctions,
damage to the power cord or casing, as well as when any liquid infiltrates, immedi-
ately unplug from the mains and notify the service department.
- In the event of a power cut, the TV set should be switched off using the power
switch.
- During extended absence, the TV set should be switched off. This will extend the
lifespan of the panel and also save energy.
- Never open the unit housing!
Touching any parts carrying high voltage may be fatal!
- Any necessary repairs should be carried out only by qualified service personnel.
3.3.5 Operation
Via a so-called “On Screen Display” the control of the TV is simplified and the number of
remote control keys reduced.
All functions are displayed on the screen, and can be operated with a few keys.
Related functions are combined in a “MENU". The function selected is highlighted.
The “function keys” red, yellow, green and blue are indicated by colour bars in the bottom
line. These colour bars represent different functions in the various menus, which will be acti-
vated by pressing the appropriate coloured key (multifunction key) on the remote control.
The “function keys” are only active when a brief description is displayed in the appropriate
field.
Key names and terms that are displayed in the OSD menu are printed bold in this
operating manual.
Help: Where available in the menues, pressing the blue function key will cause a help text
to be displayed, pressing again will remove the text from the screen.
3.3.6 Power consumption in standby mode and in operation
The power consumption of the device, whether in standby or operational mode, depends on
the settings made, the functions used and the units that are switched on / off, such as e.g.
the CI module or USB storage media.
Accordingly, the power consumption during operation can be reduced, e.g. by only switching
on the CI module and USB storage media when these actually need to be used.
Also pay attention to the stated points as well as the technical data (Point 16).

3.3.7 Maintenance and cleaning
The casing should only be wiped using a slightly dampened dry cloth.
Do not use any cleaner spray or aggressive chemical cleaning agent for the casing, to avoid
damaging the top quality surface.
Use a dry cloth or the LCD panel cleaning set to clean the screeen when the device is
switched off.
3.3.8 Disposal
The packaging for your unit consists entirely of recyclable material. Please sort the items
appropriately for disposal using the “Dual System” .
At the end of its useful life span, this device may not be disposed of in your regular domestic
refuse bin. It must be taken to a recycling collection point for electrical and electronic equip-
ment.
The symbol on the product, the operating manual or the packaging will indicate this:
The materials can be recycled or reused according to their labelling.
By ensuring that valuable raw materials are reused you can make an important contribution
towards protecting our environment.
Please ask your local authority about available disposal facilities.
Please note that spent batteries (from the remote control) as well as electronic components
should not be disposed of in your household refuse, but should be disposed of in accord-
ance with your local regulations (special waste, handing back to outlet where purchased).
3.4 Remote control / Battery changing
> Open the lid of the battery compartment on the rear side of the remote control by
applying light pressure to the marked position and slide the lid in the direction of the
arrow.
> Insert the supplied batteries, taking care to ensure the correct polarity (visible indica-
tion in the battery compartment).
> Close the battery compartment again.

3.5 Wall-mounting
With the aid of a suitable wall attachment, e.g Technisat HD-Mount 32 (Art.No.: 2020/2732)
for HDTV 32 Plus respectively TechniSat HD-Mount 40 (Art.No.: 2020/2740) for HDTV 40,
HDTV 40 Plus and HDTV 46 you can mount your device on a wall that is suited for the pur-
pose. When doing so, you must dismantle the rest foot.
3.5.1 Removing rest foot
Note with the HDTV 32/40 that you must remove the loudspeaker cable from the terminal
clamps, before you take out the rest foot.
> Place the device with the screen side on a level surface.
Be careful to ensure when doing so that no pressure is applied to the panel and that
this is not damaged.
> Loosen and remove the marked screws.
.
.
> Now carefully remove the rest foot from the underside of the device.
For the HDTV 32/40, when wall-mounting and wishing to use with the device loudspeakers
reassembled onto the device, you will need a special additional profile.
HDTV 32 Plus: HD-Mount Adapter HD-Vision 32 Plus Artnr. 0004/3240
HDTV 40: HD-Mount Adapter 40" Artnr. 0002/3240
HDTV 40 Plus: HD-Mount Adapter 40” Plus Artnr. 0006/3240
HDTV 40
HDTV 46

3.6 Removable loudspeakers(not available with HDTV 46)
Your TV set is equipped with removable loudspeakers. These can be taken off:
- When you wish to mount the loudspeakers onto the additional profile (see Point
3.5.1) during wall-mounting.
- When you connect the device to a HiFi or Surround-sound system (see Point 4.6)
and you would prefer not to use the device loudspeaker.
3.6.1 Removing loudspeaker
> Remove the cable of the loudspeaker from the terminal clamps.
To do so, press down the spring contact and pull out the cable.
> Now loosen the fixing screws of the loudspeaker using a suitable screwdriver and
take this out.
.
3.7 Wireless Loudspeakersystem
Since the HDTV 46 does not have its own device loudspeaker for audio output this unit must
be connected to a loudspeaker system or a stereo/surround-sound system. The audio out-
puts are present for this purpose (see Point 1; Nos. 14, 15, 20 and 21) as well as the loud-
speaker outputs (Point 1; No. 25).
Furthermore TechniSat has developed a wireless Loudspeaker system in two versions,
which is using the Cinch-audio- outputs (point 1, No. 15) and the USB connector (Point 1;
No. 4) for the control and the power supply of the wireless transmitter.
These systems are available under the following designations:
HDTV wireless bookshelf Loudspeaker system
silver art. no. 0046/0500
platinum art. no. 0046/0505
black art. no. 0046/0516
HDTV wireless floor standing Loudspeaker system
silver art. no. 0046/1500
platinum art. no. 0046/1505
black art. no. 0046/1516
The wireless loudspeaker system is also usable with the HDTV 32 Plus, the HDTV 40, the
HDTV 40 Plus and other devices of consumer electronics. Further information is available in
the manual of the wireless Loudspeaker system.
