Energy consumption
Your TV set is equipped with an eco-standby power supply. In the standby
mode, the power consumption drops to low power (see Technical data
on page 101). If you want to save even more energy then switch the
device off with the mains switch. Please also note that the EPG data
(Electronic Programme Guide) is lost and possibly programmed timer
recordings cannot be carried out via the TV set.
The power consumed by the TV set during operation depends on the
energy efficiency preset in the initial installation (see page 22) or the
setting in the TV menu (see page 35).
If you activate the automatic dimming (see page 35), your TV picture
will adapt to the ambient brightness. This reduces the power consump-
tion of the TV set.
If the TV is not operated for 4 hours (adjustment of volume, programme
change, etc.) the TV will automatically switch to stand-by mode to save
energy. A prompt to terminate this shutdown process appears one min-
ute before expiry of the 4 hours. The automatic shutdown is only active
in the energy efficiency mode Home Mode. Automatic shutdown does
not occur when using the radio without screen display (screen off).
Packaging and box
You have made a decision to purchase a high-quality technical product
with a long service life. For disposal of the packaging, in accordance
with national legislation we have paid a fee to a commissioned recycler
to pick up the packaging from the dealer.

The set
The EU directive 2002/96/EC regulates the proper way
to recycle, handle and utilise used electronic devices.
Old electronic devices consequently must be disposed of
separately. Please do not dispose of this device in normal
household trash!
You may return your used set free of charge at designated
recycling centres or at your specialist dealer whenever you purchase a
new, comparable set. Additional details about return (also for non EU
countries) are available from your local municipal authorities.
Batteries
The batteries supplied as initial equipment do not contain
any pollutants such as cadmium, lead, or mercury.
Used batteries should no longer be disposed of in the do-
mestic waste according to the Battery Ordinance. Dispose
of your batteries at no charge in the collection containers
which are set up for this purpose in retail stores.
