- 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 pow- er is supplied 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 fi nd out more on the digital stations that can be received in your area at your specialist dealer. If a set was retrofi tted 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 illustration on page 7. Set-specifi c equipment and retrofi tting options for PIP and satellite tuners, see pages 46 and 47. If a Digital Satellite Tuner 1 has been retrofi tted, connect your satellite antenna system to the ANT-SAT socket. If a Digital Satellite Tuner 2 has been retrofi tted, 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 affi xed beneath the TV set. Replace the connection cover on the TV set. Handling the fabric hose Use the fabric hose included to lay the mains cables, antenna cables or cables from other electronic components systematically; then lead the hose with the cables to the connection boxes. This provides you with an elegant solution when laying cables. The diameter of the fabric hose increases when you push it together lengthwise (see illustration). This makes it easier for you to push through cables with plugs. Using the conditional access module In order to be able to receive encrypted digital stations, the conditional access module (CA module (1) and the smart card (1 both have to be inserted into the corresponding slot of your TV set. You can fi nd the slot common interface (CI- Slot) on the back of your TV set, see the illustration on pages 6/7. 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 installation instructions included with the smart card. 3. Slide the CA module carefully into the slot with the contact side facing the front. The logo on the CA module should be visible. 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 (for Spheros R 37, the set switches on immediately, the green indicator lamp lights up). For Spheros R 26/32: The red indicator on the set now lights up (standby mode). Switch on the set using the switch integrated in the indica- tor. The green indicator on the set now lights up (for further operating options see page 14). Contact side Eject button CA moduleCI-Slot )

If your satellite antenna is equipped with an LNC (LNB) with a divergent oscillator frequency, specify the corresponding frequency for low and high band respectively. Note: The correct display of the received frequencies in the TV menu – Settings – Stations – 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 cor- responding values here using the numeric buttons on your remote control. 12. Press OK to obtain an overview of the settings with which the automatic programming 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, accord- ing to your settings and the antennas connected. 14.

- 14 Switching on/off Your TV is equipped with an eco-standby power supply unit. On standby, the power consumption drops to low power. If you want to save even more electric- ity, switch the set off with the mains switch. However, please bear in mind that EPG data (electronic programme guide) will be lost and programmed timer recordings will not be performed by the TV. Switching off If the TV set is switched on, you can switch it to standby using the blue ON/OFF button on the remote control or by using the indicator fi eld on the set. The red lamp on the TV set lights up. If the orange indicator lights up or if both the green and red indicators light up, then, for Spheros R 37, a timer recording is being made, EPG data is being captured or radio operation without screen display is active. Switching on the TV set From standby, it is best to switch the set back on using the blue On/Off button or by using the numeric buttons of the remote control (0 – 99). Or, for Spheros R 26/32, use the switch integrated in the indicator on the set. The green indicator on the TV set lights up. Or switch on the TV set with OK, you can then see the station list and select a station. Switch on the radio With the RADIO button on the remote control or for Spheros R 26/32: Switch on radio using R on the control ring of the TV set. If you switch off the TV set using the mains switch on the set, the indicator no longer lights up. For Spheros R 26/32: If the TV set is switched off via the mains switch, you have to switch it into the standby mode fi rst via the mains switch and then switch it on using one of the above mentioned methods. OK RADIO First installation Directing DVB-T antenna Note: not with DVB-T stations in GB. 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 loca- tion 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 fi nd 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 under- neath. 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). 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 bandwidth 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 button within the band selected (VHF or UHF). 9. Check the other channels one after another on which digital stations are broadcast 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). INFO END Manual adjustment ...
