31. Connecting Headphones
The headphone socket is located on the right side
at the back of the TV set.
Tilt the flap on the Milos up with your fingernail.
On the Puros or Talio open the flap by 
pressing •••.
See also ch. 34.
We recommend the use of headphones with an
impedance of at least 32 Ω. The use of headpho-
nes with a lower impedance will reduce the dyna-
mic range of the sound.
You can save the headphone volume as a stan-
dard value.
Setting the volume too high when using
headphones or earphones can result in
damage to the ears - including the com-
plete loss of hearing.

33. Cleaning the TV Set
Before cleaning the set, always switch it off
with the mains switch!
Incorrect treatment and cleaning of the screen sur-
face can cause irreparable damage to it. You
should therefore always observe the following
instructions for treatment and cleaning of the set.
T
reatment:
Always treat the screen surface very carefully.
Take care not to damage it mechanically by
shocks, impact, scratching or scraping.
Keep sharp, pointed and hard objects away from
the surface of the screen.
Keep the surface of the screen clean.
For cleaning the case and the screen, use only a
soft, dry cloth. For removing stubborn marks, you
may moisten the cloth slightly.
Cleaning and care:
The surface of the screen may be cleaned only
with a soft, dry cloth (such as a microfleece
duster). If any marks cannot be removed with this
dry cloth, you may moisten the cloth slightly.
Take care that no water or other liquid can enter
the TV set, since this can cause serious damage to
the set.
If any liquid or other foreign object (pieces of
metal, etc.) enters the set, immediately disconnect
the mains plug from the wall outlet.
Never insert your hands or tools into the set, since
this may result in electric shocks.

It is always possible to use the TV speakers as the centre speaker if the AV receiver
has this output available. The advantage of this is that the TV speakers can be used
as the centre speaker, thus making it unnecessary to set up an external centre spea-
ker.!

36. Copying between AV Devices
Direct recording
Opening the menu
If you wish to copy a recording from one of the
AV devices connected to your TV set (such as a
DVD player) to another connected AV device (such
as a video recorder), you must do this by means
of a direct recording operation. In this case, the
signal arriving at one of the EURO sockets is redi-
rected to the other EURO socket, from where it
can be recorded.
Example: you have a DVD player and a
video recorder connected to
the EURO sockets of the TV set
(see Section 25).
Programming a direct recording for
copying:
• Press the AV key and use the corres-
ponding numeric key to select the
DVD player (playback device).
• Press the F2key.
Briefly pressing F2executes the func-
tion which is programmed for this function key
(see Section 18., Programming function keys).
Pressing and holding F2for about three seconds
displays all functions available for this function
key.
• Press numeric key
to open the
timer menu. The timer window dis-
plays the AV programme position
(DVD player), the current date and a
time window of two hours.
• If two hours is insufficient for the
copying operation, use the numeric
keys to enter a later end time.
