Initial installation AAA LR03 AAA LR03 Connecting the TV set Connecting to the mains Connect the TV set to a 220-240V power outlet: First plug the small plug of the power cable into the power connection on the rear of the TV, then plug the large power plug into a mains power outlet. Connecting the antenna Analogue / DVB-C / DVB-T antenna: In sets with DR+ : Plug the antenna plug of the antenna or cable system or the room antenna into the ANT2 socket. The connecting cable between A N T-T V and ANT OUT has already been plugged in at the factory. In sets without DR+ : Plug the antenna plug of the antenna or cable system or the room antenna into the A N T-T V socket. Satellite antenna, if upgraded: Connect one antenna plug each, for example, from the antenna switch or the Twin-LNC of the satellite system to the ANT-SAT and ANT-SAT2 sockets (only for sets with DR+ ). If you only connect one SAT antenna cable, connect it to ANT-SAT. Connections on the back of the set (see also page 5 and 6). Connect network (only for sets with Network Mediaplayer) Connection and configuration of the network connection is described in the Network Mediaplayer operating manual.

13 - In various countries, digital stations (DVB-T, DVB-C) are transmitted with a preset channel number per station, known as “Logical Channel Numbers“ – “LCN“. In this case the preset channel numbers are adopted as station memory locations and the stations of the preferred signal source sorted according to LCN. There may be gaps in the numbering of the station list depending on the LCN. For TV sets with MHEG-5 software the stations are tied to “Logical Channel Numbers” – “LCN” and sorted from 1-799. Digital stations without “LCN” are stored from 800 onwards. Analogue stations are stored from 1001. If you are using an active antenna, then select yes (5V) for the antenna power supply. The conventional settings will be derived from the selec- tion of set location. Only change this if you know other symbol rates and modulation types or if you have to spec- ify the network ID for your cable network (information available from your cable network provider). If you want to run the station search independently of the channel grid, select frequency search for the search method. State how (single satellite or type of satellite system) you receive which satellite(s). Ask your dealer if in doubt. Specify here whether the high band of the selected satel- lite is to be searched in addition to the low band. Normally, you do not need to change the values for high and low band, unless the LNC (LNB) of your satellite system uses a different oscillator frequency (important for the frequency display). After you have made these settings, you should receive the picture and sound of the selected satellites (only with Astra1 and HOTBIRD). If you want to run the station search independently of the channel grid, select frequency search for the search method. The symbol rates are specified by the satellite provider and do not normally need to be changed. Select the signal source from a list, the station of which is to be at the top of your station list (starting with station slot 1). Recordings with automatic time control (see page 54) are only possible for the respective first DVB signal source. Initial installation Explanations of the setting possibilities, including the upgradeable satellite reception: Decide how energy efficiently you want to operate your TV set. The value for the contrast (and thus the brightness of the background lighting) is adapted and the automatic dimmer activated or deactivated (see page 22) depending on the presetting. Eco standard: The emphasis for home use is on low energy consump- tion. The automatic dimmer is activated. Premium mode: This mode optimises the settings to a brighter environ- ment at a higher energy consumption. The automatic dimmer is activated. Shop mode: The picture settings are aligned to operation in the presen- tation room. The automatic dimmer is deactivated. If the ambient brightness diminishes, the energy consumption is not reduced. The presetting can be changed later in the TV menu under Picture Picture adjustment Presettings (see page 22) or under Settings Energy efficiency. Select the country for country-specific pre-settings. If UK or IRL is selected for the location of TV set, it is possible to activate MHEG-5 (UK Freeview) for the TV set. A dialogue appears, where you can confirm to set the operating software to the selected location. If Ye s is selected and confirmed with OK, the TV set turns off and on again automatically. First installation starts again after activating the operation software. If MHEG-5 was activated, DVB-C and DVB-S can not be used anymore. Only terrestrial/cable and DVB-T stations are available. Antenna/cable (analogue): analogue stations via cable/antenna DVB-T: digital terrestrial stations DVB-C: digital stations via cable DVB-S (cable 1): digital stations via satellite DVB-S (cable 2): digital stations via satellite You can state whether coded stations are to be searched for in the search/update. Select yes to save all found scrambled stations. However, these stations can only be received in connection with a CA module and the appropriate Smart Card. Handling of the CA module is described on page 40. If a CA module with a SmartCard is already plugged in for the station search, all the stations which this module can descramble are also saved when no is preset.

- 14 Positioning/aligning the DVB-T antenna If you receive one or more DVB-T stations with picture or sound interfer- ence, you should change the position and alignment of the antenna. Ask your dealer to tell you which channels are used to broadcast the DVB-T stations in your region. ➠ In normal TV mode, without other displays. A DVB-T station is received and selected. Call TV menu. Select Settings, go to the menu line below. Select Stations, go to the menu line below. Select Manual adjustment, OK call manual adjustment. The signal source is already on DVB-T due to the station preselection. Position and align the antenna in such a manner that maximum values for C/N and Level are obtained. Blue button: Start search. Search for DVB-T stations one after another and compare values for C/N and Level. Then position/align the antenna to the weakest station so that maximum values for C/N and Level are obtained. Thereafter perform an automatic search for all DVB-T stations, see page 26. Explanation of the setting possibilities: Depending on the selected channel and country the as- sociated bandwidth will be set automatically. Start the automatic station search with OK. The set now searches for TV and DVB radio stations. The stations found in the automatic search are divided into the appropriate station blocks depending on the previously selected antenna cables (signal sources). Subsequently the stations can only be re-sorted within these blocks. At the beginning of the station list you will find the block with the stations of the preferred signal source. Any mixed sorting of stations from different signal sources is only possible with the favourites list. You can specify an age limit for your TV set here. DVB broadcasts which have an appropriate age identification are locked and can only be watched after entering the access code (see page 41). Then the connection and sound component wizard starts which helps you to log in, set and connect video recorders, decoders, a loudspeaker system or a HiFi/AV amplifier to your TV set. A DVD recorder is already logged in ex factory. You can start the connection wizard and the sound components wizard manually later and add new devices. Further information is available from page 44 (Connec- tion wizard) and page 51 (Sound components wizard). If you have logged in and connected a recorder in the connection wizard, the Digital Link Plus transmission starts when the sound component wizard closes. If a Digital Link Plus compatible recorder is connected, the station list of the analogue stations is transmitted to the external recorder. You can also call Digital Link Plus manually under TV menu Connections Digital Link Plus. Explanations of the DVB-T antenna: With good reception conditions a room antenna can be used for DVB-T (socket ANT2). Under less favourable reception conditions, an active antenna is recommended which must be set accordingly in the first time commissioning or in the TV menu Con- nections Antenna DVB Antenna DVB-T (see DVB-T Antenna on page 13). If the location is outside of the normal transmission range then a directional antenna can be used to improve recep- tion quality.
