About this manual
This manual is common to several TV models.
Therefore, the model you bought may not support
some of the functions or settings described
hereinafter.
About the On/Off switch
The position of the ON/OFF switch A A differs
depending on the model. It may be located on the
front or on the right-hand side of your set (see the
drawing inside the cover page of your manual).
For your safety
To ensure your own safety and safe operation of
the equipment, observe the following instructions
thoroughly.
TV sets require sufficient ventilation to prevent their
components from overheating, which will cause
failure. Do not block the ventilation openings at the
rear. If you place your TV set in a special piece of
furniture, make sure there is enough space for
unhindered air circulation. Do not place the TV set in
the close vicinity of a heater.
The TV set has been designed for use in dry rooms.
Should you use it, in exceptional circumstances in the
open air (example: on the balcony, in the veranda or
tent), you must absolutely protect it against moisture
(dew, rain, splash water). Before switching on a cold
TV set in a warm room, you should wait until any
condensation in the screen has dried by itself.
Maximum ambient temperature: 35°C
Maximum humidity: 85%
By the end of your TV evening or when away from
home for a longer period, we recommend that you
turn off the TV set with the On/Off-switch.
Even when the On/Off-switch is in the Off-position,
your TV set is not fully disconnected from the mains.
To disconnect the set completely, the mains plug
must be pulled out.
The mains plug must be easily accessible.
In the following cases, we recommend that you pull
out the mains connector:
1. During a thunderstorm. In such a case, it is
advisable that you also disconnect the TV set from
the aerial socket.
2. When odour or smoke emanates from the set.
Never attempt to open your TV set yourself.
Further information:
The TV set shielding is sufficient to prevent X-
radiation to the exterior.
Any operation performed by a non skilled person,
change of high voltage or replacement of the picture
tube by a model not complying with the manufacturer
specification are likely to cause considerable increase
in X-radiation.
A TV set modified in such a way no longer complies
with the manufacturers’ specification and must not be
used.
About cleaning
The screen is to be cleaned with liquid glass cleaners.
• Never use abrasive products.
• Clean the cabinet with a soft cloth soaked with
neutral cleaner. Do not use solvents, such as white
spirit or alcohol-based cleaning products since they
may damage your television.
• At regular intervals, clean the ventilation grids at
the rear of the TV set.
About degaussing
The terrestrial magnetic field may have an influence
on your TV set. This influence is revealed by the
coloured spots, which appear on the screen.
Should this be the case:
• Turn the equipment off by means of the On/Off-
switch.
• Wait about one hour before switching the set on
again.
This procedure performs automatic degaussing of the
screen. Should there still be coloured spots on the
screen, repeat the operation.
