Antenna DVB-T If you are using an active antenna, then select 
yes (5V) for the antenna power supply.
Items Explanation
Antenna 
DVB-C The conventional settings will be derived from 
the selection of set location. Only change this 
if you know other symbol rates and modulation 
types or if you have to specify 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.
Antenna 
DVB-S Select which satellite(s) you receive from a list. 
For more than one satellite, select the type of 
your changeover switch or communal satellite 
system additionally. Ask your dealer in this 
regard.
High band Specify here whether the high band of the 
selected satellite is to be searched in addition to 
the low band.
LNB 
frequencies
Low Band/High 
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).
Symbol rates The symbol rates are specified by the satellite 
provider and do not normally need to be 
changed.
Favoured signal 
source 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).
•  If you want to use the AV Link function with an 
externally connected recorder, the analogue 
stations have to be between station slot 1 and 
99.
Start search Start the automatic station search with 
OK. First 
TV stations, then radio stations are searched 
for. 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.
Connecting 
additional 
devices In conclusion the connection wizard will start; 
with their help you can register and set your 
video devices or decoders, and connect them to 
the TV set. DVD players and DVD recorders are 
already registered at the factory.
You can start the connection wizard manually 
later and add new devices. Further information 
is available on page 15 (Connection wizard) and 
page 22 (Speaker/amplifier connection).
Room antenna With good reception conditions a room antenna 
can be used for DVB-T (socket ANT2).
Active antenna Under less favorable reception conditions, it is 
advisable to use an active antenna which has to 
be set accordingly in the initial installation or in 
the “TV Menu > Connections > Antenna DVB > 
Antenna DVB-T”. (See “Antenna DVB-T” on this 
page).
Unidirectional
antenna
If the location is outside of the normal 
transmission range then a directional antenna 
can be used to improve reception quality.

Connecting external devices
HDMI connection
The HDMI connections (High Definition Multimedia 
Interface) permit digital video and audio transmission 
via a connection cable from a player.
The digital picture and sound data are transmitted 
without data compression and therefore lose none of 
their quality. Analogue/digital conversion is no longer 
necessary in the connected devices, which also would 
result in quality losses.
HDMI/DVI conversion
Using a DVI/HDMI adapter cable, the digital video 
signals of a DVD or PC can also be played via the 
compatible HDMI connection. The sound must be fed 
in additionally.
HDMI and DVI both use the same HDCP copy 
protection method.
Connecting the HDMI device
  In “Connection wizard > AV equipment selection”, select “HDMI/DVI”, and connect the 
device accordingly.
•  If an HDMI/DVI conversion cable is used, audio 
signals must be fed separately to either DIGITAL 
AUDIO (IN) or analogue AUDIO IN (L/R).
NOTE
•  Video noise may occur depending on the type of HDMI  cable used. Make sure to use a certified HDMI cable.
•  When playing an HDMI image, the best possible format for  the picture will be detected and set automatically.
Supported video signals:
VGA, 576i, 576p, 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p
See page 18 for PC signal compatibility.
If a connected HDMI device is AQUOS 
LINK compatible, you can take advantage 
of versatile functions using the AQUOS 
LINK buttons on the remote control.
See pages 19 - 22 for details.
VGA/XGA connection (PC/
SetTopBox)
You can connect a PC or a SetTopBox (STB) to the 
EXT 7 (ANALOG RGB) terminal and thus use the 
screen of the TV set as an output device.
  When connecting the PC, set the PC’s output  resolutions according to the capabilities of 
the PC. For details, see page 18 for PC signal 
compatibility.
  When connecting a SetTopBox, set the  following screen resolutions according to the 
capabilities of the SetTopBox:
Supported video signals (for STB):
576i, 576p, 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i
Connecting
  Connect the device to EXT 7 via the VGA cable.  See page 22 for the sound connection.

Audio connection
Analogue audio:
  Connect the analogue audio signal from the PC or the SetTopBox via stereo cable to the AUDIO 
IN (L/R) jack on the TV set.
•  The sound is played via the speakers connected to 
the TV set or a speaker system.
Digital audio:•  An external digital audio signal can be reproduced via the integrated Dolby Digital Decoder or via an 
externally connected digital audio amplifier.
Connect the digital audio signal from the PC or 
the SetTop-Box via a simple cinch cable to the 
DIGITAL AUDIO (IN) socket on the TV set.
Then assign the digital audio input in “TV menu 
> Connections > Miscellaneous > Assign digital 
audio input”.
For an external digital audio amplifier:
Prerequisite:  External audio amplifier is already 
connected. (Page 22)

Component connection (EXT3)
DVD players/recorders with component video 
connections can also be connected to EXT 3 
(COMPONENT) of the TV set instead of to the SCART 
sockets.
The connecting cable with three cinch plugs transmits 
the picture information with better quality than a 
SCART cable. You need an additional cable for audio 
transmission.
The basic procedure of setting up a component 
connection (cable connection and audio connection) is 
the same as explained in the previous section, “ VGA/
XGA connection (PC/SetTopBox) ”, except:
  When adjusting the parameters in “Signal type  at socket EXT3”, select “Automatic” if you are 
not sure. Read the operation manual of the 
external device for other options.
