- 12 First installation If the reception conditions are good, then a room antenna may be used for DVB-T. Passive and active room antennas are available on the market. The power is sup- plied for an active antenna via the antenna connection. For automatic programming or in “TV Menu – Connections – Antenna DVB – Antenna DVB-T,“ the distribution voltage (5 volts) is to be set correspondingly. It may be practical to use a nondirectional antenna. If the location is outside the normal transmitting range, then a unidirectional antenna may also be used to improve the reception quality. You can find out more on the digital stations that can be received in your area at your specialist dealer. If a set was retrofitted with a PIP tuner or if this is already integrated in a set with a digital recorder, then plug the antenna into the antenna input of the PIP tuner and connect the PIP tuner output with the ANT-TV socket (Tuner 1). See illustrations on page 6/7. Set-specific equipment and retrofitting options for PIP and satellite tuners, see pages 44 and 45. If a Digital Satellite Tuner 1 has been retrofitted, connect your satellite antenna system to the ANT-SAT socket. If a Digital Satellite Tuner 2 has been retrofitted, connect one antenna cable each, for example from the antenna switch or from the twin LNC, to both SAT sockets. When laying the cable, use the cable clips affixed beneath the TV set. Replace the connection cover on the TV set. Use of the binders for Xelos A42 and Modus L 42 The enclosed binders are intended for holding the connection cables together and fastening them to the rear panel. The binders can be opened again by pressing on the binder latch. Using the conditional access module In order to be able to receive encrypted digital stations, a Conditional Access module (CA-module (1) and a Smart Card (1, if necessary, must be inserted into the corresponding slot of your TV set. You can find the Common Interface slot (CI-Slot) on the back of your TV set, see the illustration on pages 5 –7. 1. Make sure the TV set is switched off with the mains switch on the set. 2. First push the smart card into the CA module as far as it will go. Insert it so that the side with the golden contact chip faces the side of the module printed with the supplier‘s brand logo. Printed arrows indicate how to insert the card. Also follow the instal- lation instructions included with the smart card. 3. Slide the CA module (1 carefully into the slot with the contact side facing the front. When you are standing in front of the TV set, the logo on the CA module must face the rear. Make sure the module is not twisted in the process. Do not use force. When the module locks, the eject button is pressed outwards. (1 The CA module and the smart card are not included in the scope of delivery for this set; you can usually obtain them at your specialist dealer. Switching on Press the mains switch. The indicator lamp on the set now turns red (standby mode). Switch on the set using the switch integrated in the indicator. The indicator on the TV set lights up and turns green (indicator lamp).

Also select “Antenna/cable (analo- gue)“ - this way the standard analo- gue stations can also be searched for and saved. If you can receive digital stations from the cable network, then select “DVB-C“ using the yellow coloured key. 3. For the country-specific station sorting and for presettings for DVB-T and DVB-C, enter the location at which the TV set is operated. 4. If you have selected “DVB-T“, you then reach the menu “Antenna DVB-T“. If you use an active antenna, then select “yes (5V)“. 5. If you have selected “DVB-C“, you generally leave the symbol rates and modulati- on types unchanged. If other symbol rates are used in your cable network for broadcasting, enter the values with the numeric buttons of the remote control. If only one symbol rate is used, enter the same value for both symbol rates. If other modulation types are used for broadcasting in your cable network, select them in the menu. If only one modulation type is used, select “none“ for modulation type 2. If necessary, ask your specialist dealer about the necessary settings for your cable network. 6. In the “Select satellite installation“ menu, make the selection that corresponds to your satellite antenna installation. Note: If you have any questions on how your satellite antenna installation is configured and on the antenna settings, consult your antenna installer or your specialist dealer. 7. Select the satellite the antenna is directed at, such as ASTRA1.If you only receive one satellite... 8. In the following menu, specify whether the station search should take place in the high and low band (“Yes“) or only in the low band (“No“). Note: For most satellites, a station search is required in both bands. 9. For the low band and high band, the standard frequencies 9750 MHz (9.75 GHz) and 10600 MHz (10.6 GHz) are preset. If your satellite antenna is equipped with an LNC (LNB) with a divergent oscillator frequency, specify the corresponding frequency for low and high band respective- ly. Note: The correct display of the received frequencies in the “TV menu – Settings – Channels – Manual adjustment“ depends upon this setting. 10. You should receive a picture with sound with the settings previously made (only for ASTRA 1 and HOTBIRD). Then press OK. 11. In the “Pre-programming“ menu, select the factory-set pre-programming to programme the satellite stations quickly. To ensure all stations that can be currently received are searched for and saved, select “No“ at this point. Symbol rates: The standard symbol rates 22000 and 27500 are preset. If you would like to receive stations with different symbol rates, specify the correspon- ding values here using the numeric buttons on your remote control. 12. Press OK to obtain an overview of the settings with which the automatic pro- gramming is to take place. 13. Press the OK button again and the station search will start. The TV set searches for, sorts and saves all the TV stations that can be received, according to your settings and the antennas connected. 14. When the TV stations are saved, you will receive a corresponding message. 15. Press the OK button and the set then searches for the radio stations. 16. The TV set searches for, saves and sorts all radio stations which can be received with your antenna system. 17. Then log on your video equipment, decoder and audio system using the connec- tion wizard and connect these to the TV according to the connection diagram displayed. If you want to connect other equipment later, you can find information as of page 32. You can repeat the initial installation at any time, e.g. after moving house. Call the index using the INFO button (in the TV mode, if no menu is opened). Select the index item “Repeat initial installation“ (you will find this listed separately before the letter A). Press OK to start the initial installation. Note: For DVB-T stations in UK the stations are tied to “Logical Channel Numbers” – “LCN” and sorted from 1–799. Digital station without “LCN” are stored from 800 onwards. Analogue stations are stored from1001. Station sorting Note: not with DVB-T stations in UK. You can change the station sorting that was carried out automatically later at any time, see “TV menu – Settings – Stations – Change stations“.

- 14 First installation Directing DVB-T antenna Note: not with DVB-T stations in UK. If you use a room antenna to receive one or more DVB-T stations that have picture and sound interference, then you should change the location of where the antenna is set up. To help you direct your antenna or to help you determine the most suitable location to set up the antenna, your TV set has a display for the signal quality C/N and the signal strength Level. Consult your specialist dealer to find out which channels and frequency bands (VHF or UHF) are used to broadcast the digital TV stations in your area. On any one channel, several digital stations are broadcast. Select a TV channel 1. Call the “TV menu“ via the MENU button. 2. Use to select “Settings“, then use to select the menu line underneath. 3. Select “Stations“, then use to select the menu line underneath. 4. Select “Manual adjustment“ and call the menu using OK (not possible for MHEG-5 device versions x27/28). 5. For digital stations, select “Signal source – DVB-T“. 6. Use the numerical buttons to specify the corresponding channel number. Depending on the channel selected and country, the system automatically sets the corresponding bandwidth of 7 or 8 MHz. You should only change the band- width under special circumstances - if the channel raster in your area is different from the standard. When you receive a digital station, the system displays the signal quality C/N via a bar/numeric value and the signal strength via Level. The antenna‘s direction or position is best when the largest values possible are displayed (long bar) for the signal quality and signal strength. 7. Direct the antenna so that the largest numerical value/bar size is reached. 8. If no signal is found in the channel set, you can start the frequency search run by pressing the blue coloured key within the band selected. 9. Check the other channels one after another on which digital stations are broad- cast terrestrially in your area. For the weakest station, direct the antenna so that the maximum numerical value/bar size is achieved. 10. After you position or direct the antenna, we recommend to search for all the stations using the “Search wizard“ (TV menu – Settings – Stations – Search wizard).
