You can receive and watch digital TV channels
7
using your television set (via DVB-T and DVB-C)
– including High Definition programmes (HD).
However, the reception of digital TV channels
in HD is currently limited to a few countries in
Europe.
Although this television set complies with the
7
current DVB-T and DVB-C standards (status:
August 2010), the compatibility with f uture ter-
restrial DVB-T and DVB-C cable programmes
cannot be guaranteed.
Your television set can receive and process
7
all analogue and non-encrypted digital
TV channels. The television set is also equipped
with digital and analogue receivers.
The electronic TV guide (for digital channels
7
only) informs you about any schedule changes
at short notice, and provides an overview of
all the broadcasters' schedules for the next few
days. Detailed information on the individual
television programmes are – when provided
by the broadcasting station – are also avail-
able in the electronic TV guide.
You can connect various data media, such as
7
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 of your choice (for example, MP4,
MP3 or JPEG data).

You require a digital roof antenna or indoor
7
antenna (passive or active indoor antenna
with its own power supply) to receive digital
television channels (DVB-T).
If you wish to receive digital television chan-
7
nels via your cable system (DVB-C), the an-
tenna cable for your cable operator must be
connected to the television set.
Unlike analogue broadcasting, not every
7
channel has its own transmission frequency.
Instead, several channels are grouped into
what are known as bouquets on a regional or
national level. You can find the current trans-
mission information on teletext from various
broadcasters, or by consulting a current TV
guide or the Internet.
Various digital television channels from private
7
broadcasters are encrypted (DVB-T and DVB-
C). Watching these channels and the record-
ing and playback functions are only possible
with the appropriate CI module and a Smart-
Card. Ask your specialist dealer.
T he range of channels available from the pub-
lic broadcasting institutions (ARD with EinsEx-
tra, EinsFestival or ZDF with ZDF Info and all
third party broadcasters) are not encrypted
and can be received without a SmartCard.
