GENERAL INFORMATION

Special features of your television

  • With your TV set, you can receive and watch digital TV programs including the High Resolution (HD) ones over DVB-S/S2, DVB-T, and DVB-C.
    At present, reception for these digital television channels in High Definition is only possible in some countries in Europe.

  • Although this TV set meets the current DVB-S/ S2, DVB-T, and DVB-C standards as of April 2013, its compatibility with future DVB-S/ S2 digital satellite broadcasts, DVB-T digital terrestrial broadcasts, and DVB-C digital cable broadcasts is not guaranteed.

  • This television can receive and process all analog and all unencrypted digital stations.

  • This television set has an integrated digital and analog receiver.
    The digital receiver unit converts the signals from digital stations to provide outstanding audio and picture quality.

  • The TV guide (only for digital stations) tells you of any schedule changes at short notice and provides an overview of all the channels’ schedules for the next few days.

  • Detailed information on the individual channels – if it is provided by the broadcaster – is also available in the electronic 7 Day TV Guide.

  • You can connect various data media such as an external hard disk, a USB memory stick, or a digital camera to the USB socket. Using the file browser, you can then select and play the file formats you want (for example, MP4, MP3, or JPEG data).

Receiving digital channels

  • To receive digital satellite channels (DVB-S/ S2) you need a satellite antenna.
    To receive digital channels (DVB-T) you need a digital rooftop or indoor antenna (passive or active indoor antenna with its own power supply).
    The antenna cable of the cable TV network that broadcast in DVB-C must be plugged into the TV in order to receive the DVB-C broadcasts.

  • Unlike analog broadcasting, not every channel has its own transmission frequency. Instead, several channels are grouped into what are known as bouquets on a regional or national level.

  • You can find the current transmission information on Teletext from various channels, or look at the TV guide.

  • Various digital television stations from private broadcasters are scrambled (DVB-S/S2, DVB-T, and DVB-C). Watching these stations and the recording and playback functions are only possible with the appropriate CI module and a SmartCard. Ask your specialist dealer.

Important notes on environmental protection

  • Those items mentioned below will help you reduce the consumption of natural resources as well as save your money by reducing electricity bills.

  • If you will not be using the TV set for several days, it should be disconnected from the mains for environmental and safety reasons.
    TV will not consume energy in this condition.

  • If the TV set has a main switch, it will be enough to turn the TV off via the main switch.
    TV will reduce energy consumption almost to Zero Watt.

  • TV consumes less energy on stand-by mode.
    However, some TV sets may have features such as on timer, that require the TV set to be left on standby to work correctly.

  • TV consumes less energy when brightness is reduced.

Notes on still pictures

  • Watching the same picture for a long time on the screen may cause a still image remains feebly in the background. Feeble picture(s) on the background originated from LCD/ LED technology and does not require any action under guarantee. To avoid such cases and/or minimize the impact, you may observe the tips below.
  • Do not allow the same TV channel to stay on the screen for a very long time. Channel logos may cause this situation.
  • Do not allow the images, which are not full screen, to constantly stay on the screen; if not streamed in full-screen format by the broadcaster, you can convert the images to full screen by changing image formats.
  • Higher brightness and/or contrast values will lead this impact to appear faster; therefore, you are recommended to watch your TV at the lowest brightness and contrast levels that would satisfy you.
