12. The graphics system (optional)

This program offers you the possibility of adjusting the presentation on your display. This includes the background image, the
screensaver, Active Desktop (web) and additional settings of your display and your graphics card, for example. The program
can be started in the following way:
 Right mouse click on the Windows interface (Desktop) and left mouse click on Personalization
 Via Start  Control Panel  Appearance and Personalization with a double-click with the left mouse button.

13. The sound system

The external audio connections can be configured so that you can connect a surround sound system.
If you wish to change the default volume, click the loudspeaker icon in the task bar.
WARNING!
Excessive volume when using headphones or earphones can damage your hearing. Befo-
re pressing play, set the volume to the lowest setting. Start playback and increase the volu-
me to a comfortable level. Changing the basic settings of the equaliser can also increase the
volume and thus cause permanent damage to your hearing. Changing the drivers, software,
equaliser, operating system, etc., can also lead to an increase in the volume and thus cause
permanent damage to your hearing.
Listening to a device at high volumes for an extended period via headphones/earphones can
damage your hearing.

14. IEEE 1394 (FireWire) (optional)

The IEEE 1394 connection, also known as iLink® or FireWire, is a serial bus standard for the rapid transfer of digital TV/video, PC
and audio data.

14.1. Possible uses for IEEE 1394

• Connection of digital entertainment devices, such as: set top boxes, digital video recorders and camcorders, digital versa-
tile discs (DVDs), televisions, etc.
• Multimedia applications and video editing.
• Input and output devices such as printers, scanners, etc.
14.2. Technical specifi cations
• Depending on the application, the maximum data transfer rate is 100, 200 or 400 Mbit/s which represents a data through-
put of up to 50 MB per second.
• The devices can be connected and removed while the machine is running (hot plugging).
• The standardised cable (shielded twisted pair – STP) contains 6 wires. Two wires are used for power (8 V to 40 V, 1.5 A max.)
and can be used for the external power supply. The four signal wires are used to transfer data and control information.
Many devices do not need power via the cable so four pin plugs are used.
• The voltage output in the 6-pin IEEE 1394 connection is protected by a fuse (limited power source in accordance with
EN60950).
