Setting up
When selecting a suitable place for the TV, be sure that no bright
light or sunlight falls on the screen. Light may cause reflections and
impair the brilliance of the image.
The best viewing distance is five times the picture tube diagonal,
e.g. about 2.75 m for TV sets with a 55 cm screen.
TV sets require adequate ventilation. The ventilation
slots at the rear of the set should therefore never be
covered by curtains, doilies, newspapers or similar
objects. Likewise, all slots at the bottom of the set must
be freely accessible so that the intake of air is not im-
paired in any way.
Do not set up the TV near a radiator as this would impair
adequate cooling.
Your TV set is intended for use in dry rooms. If you wish
to use it occasionally outdoors, be sure to protect it
against any kind of moisture (rain, splashes, dew, etc.).
Do not place
- burning candles or
- flower vases filled with water
on top of the TV set.
Hot wax and liquids destroy the electrical components
and jeopardize the electrical safety of the set. If you pla-
ce the set in a wall unit, leave sufficient space on all
sides so that the air can circulate freely.
Connecting the aerial
Standard SAT and terrestrial station aerial sockets are fitted at the
rear of the TV.
Thunderstorms represent a danger for all electrical appliances! If
lightning strikes the power line or the aerial, the TV may be damaged
even if it is switched off. Therefore, always unplug the mains lead
and aerial during thunderstorms. If the TV is not going to be used for
an extended period of time, for instance when on holiday, then dis-
connect the set both from the mains and the aerial.
Mains voltage
Plug the mains lead into a wall outlet. The TV set is equipped for
230 V ac.
