Do not be put off by the size of the Operating Instructions. Initial-
ly, it is sufficient to read the instructions in Sections 1.1, 2 and 4.
In order to familiarise yourself with the TV set and its many func-
tions, we recommend that you read the Operating Instructions
step by step, carrying out the described actions on your TV set as
you do so.
This method, often called "learning by doing", is the easiest way
of learning how to execute the various functions.
Do not be afraid to change the settings in the various menus (the
TV menu, the TV station table, programming of the function keys,
etc.). If you make any changes to these settings, the TV set reac-
ts immediately, but the changes are not yet stored. After each
change in a menu, a red box is displayed at the bottom right of
the screen, asking if you want to save the changes.
• If you want to save the changes, press the
OK
key to do so.
• If you are not sure, or if you do not want to save a changed set-
ting, press the
MENU
key and then the
TV
key to exit from the
menu without saving the new settings.
We have made every effort to provide a detailed table of contents
and a comprehensive index to help you to find the information
you need. The Section "Glossary" contains explanations of
various technical terms used in the manual.
In the descriptions of the various functions, the left-hand column
shows which keys you must press in order to see the screen dis-
play given in the centre column. Do not press the keys too quick-
ly. It may occur that the TV set will not recognise the next key you
press and may therefore not display the menu shown in the cen-
tre column but something completely different. The right-hand
column of the function description provides additional informati-
on which may be useful but is not absolutely necessary for exe-
cution of the function.
If you comply with these hints, you should have no problems in
the operation of your TV set.
