Foreword Dear customer, thank you for purchasing this Metz product. We have equipped this TV set with a menu system which uses "file cards" and believe that this will provide you with a user interface that is easy to under- stand.
1. Installation • Take care that no bright artificial light or sunshi- ne falls directly on the screen. This could cause reflections which have a negative effect on the brilliance of the picture. • The optimum viewing distance is about five times the screen diagonal dimen- sion.
2. Safety notes • Always place the monitor on a solid, stable sur- face. • If a cold TV set is moved to a warm room, always allow any condensation on the screen to evaporate before switching it on. • The TV set is intended for use in a dry room. If, in exceptional circumstances, you use it out- doors, take care that is protected against moi- sture (rain, splashed water, dew).

2. Safety notes • Lightning can damage electrical equipment. A lightning flash entering the power cable or the aerial cable can damage the TV set even if it is switched off. You should therefore disconnect the power cable and aerial cable from their out- lets or from the TV set in the case of a thunder- storm.
3. Remote control unit The remote control unit transmits com- mands to the TV set with the aid of infrared light. You should always point the remote control unit directly at the TV set. The remote control unit may possi- bly interfere with other infrared devices (such as infrared headphones) within its range.

25. Operation without the remote control unit The following procedures are intended only for cases where the batteries of the remote control unit are exhausted or the remote control unit is not available. The TV controls are at the front of the set. Depen- ding on the TV model, they are located underne- ath a cover which can be opened by pressing at the marked position.
27. Options • Satellite upgrade kit 081 NH 1017 for reception of satellite stations without the need for a separate SAT receiver. • Satellite upgrade kit 083 NH 1014 similar to the above, but also capable of recei- ving unencrypted ADR (Astra Digital Radio) sta- tions.
28. Connecting headphones The headphone socket is located on the front of the TV set. On many models, you must first open a cover by pressing at the marked location in order to expose the socket. We recommend using headphones with an impe- dance of at least 32 Ω.
30. Glossary AV programme position AV devices have one or more sockets, depending on the model. These sockets are labelled on the device, for example with AV1. These sockets can be selected on the AV device and the selected socket is shown on the display of the AV device, for example A1 for socket AV1.

30. Glossary Spatial sound An artificial stereo effect can be generated for mono transmissions. SRS WOW WOW, a special combination of audio technolo- gies from SRS Labs, Inc., creates a unique liste- ning experience, complete with deep rich bass, and fuller, better sounding audio. When the WOW function is activated, it restores many of the spatial cues and ambient information that are lost during standard stereo playback.
