You can receive and watch digital TV chan-

nels using your television set (via DVB-S/S2, 

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.

7  

Although this television set complies with the 

current  DVB-S/S2,  DVB-T  and  DVB-C  stand-

ards (status: August 2010), the compatibility 

with  future DVB-S/S2 satellite transmissions as 

well as terrestrial DVB-T and DVB-C cable pro-

grammes cannot be guaranteed.

7  

Your television set can receive and process all 

analogue and non-encrypted digital TV chan-

nels. The television set is also equipped with 

digital and analogue receivers. 

7  

The electronic TV guide (for digital channels 

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.

7  

You can connect various data media, such as 

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).

­---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

receiving­digital­channels

7  

You  require  a  satellite  antenna  to  receive 

 digital satellite channels (DVB-S/S2).

7  

You require a digital roof antenna or indoor 

antenna  (passive  or  active  indoor  antenna 

with its own power supply) to receive digital 

television channels (DVB-T).

7  

If you wish to receive digital television chan-

nels  via  your  cable  system  (DVB-C),  the  an-

tenna cable for your cable operator must be 

connected to the television set.

7  

Unlike  analogue  broadcasting,  not  every 

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.

7  

Various  digital  television  channels  from  pri-

vate broadcasters are encrypted (DVB-S/S2, 

DVB-T and DVB-C). Watching these channels 

and the recording and playback functions are 

only possible with the appropriate CI module 

and a SmartCard. Ask your specialist dealer.

   The 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.

Grundig­sCr­system

7  

 Your TV supports SCR system (Satellite Channel 

Router). If your antenna installation is equipped 

with an Single Cable Distribution multiswitch, 

all television sets which are connected on this 

antenna can receive the television channels 

stand-alone.
