GENERAL INFORMATION

Special features of your
television set
Your television set enables you to receive and
7
watch digital stations (via DVB-S, DVB-T and
DVB-C), including the High Definition (HD)
ones. At present, reception for these digital
television stations in High Definition is only
possible in some countries in Europe.
Although this television meets the current DVB-
7
S, DVB-T and DVB-C standards as of August
2012, its compatibility with future DVB-S
digital satellite broadcasts, DVB-T digital ter-
restrial broadcasts and DVB-C digital cable
broadcasts is not guaranteed.
This television can receive and process all
7
analogue and all unencrypted digital stations.
This television set has an integrated digital
and analogue receiver. The digital receiver
unit converts the signals from digital stations to
provide outstanding audio and picture quality.
The TV guide (only for digital stations, if pro-
7
vided by the broadcaster) tells you of any
schedule changes at short notice, and pro-
vides an overview of all the stations' sched-
ules for the next few days.
You can connect various data media, for
7
example, an external hard drive, a USB
memory stick or a digital camera to the USB
socket. Using the file browser, you can then
select and play the file formats you want (for
example, MP4, MP3 or JPEG data).
Interactive applications allow you to use vari-
7
ous Internet services easily.

Receiving digital stations

To receive digital satellite stations (DVB-S) you
7
need a satellite antenna.
To receive digital stations (DVB-T) you need
7
a digital rooftop or indoor antenna (passive
or active indoor antenna with its own power
supply).
The antenna cable of the cable TV network
7
that broadcast in DVB-C must be plugged into
TV in order to receive the DVB-C broadcasts.
Unlike analogue broadcasting, not every
7
station has its own transmission frequency.
Instead, several stations are grouped into
what are known as bouquets on a regional or
national level.
You can find the current transmission informa-
7
tion on teletext from various broadcasters, or
look in a TV guide or on the Internet.
Various digital television stations from private
7
broadcasters are encrypted (DVB-S, DVB-T
and DVB-C). Watching these stations and the
recording and playback functions are only
possible with the appropriate CI module and
a SmartCard. Ask your specialist dealer.

Things to do for energy saving

Those items mentioned below will help you
reduce the consumption of natural resources as
well as save your money by reducing electricity
bills.
If you will not be using the TV set for several
7
days, the TV set should be disconnected
from the mains for environmental and safety
reasons. TV will not consume energy in this
condition.
If the TV set has main switch, it will be enough
7
to turn the TV off via main switch. TV will
reduce energy consumption almost to Zero
Watt.
TV consumes less energy on stand-by mode.
7
However, some TV sets may have features
such as on timer, that require the TV set to be
left in standby to work correctly.
TV consumes less energy when brightness is
7
reduced.
