GENERAL INFORMATION---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Receiving digital channels

7You 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).

7If 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.

7Unlike 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.

7Various digital television channels from private 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.

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.

Important notes on environmental protection

7The following information will help you to save resources – and money as well.

7If you are not using your television set for

several­ days, you should pull out the mains plug for environmental and safety reasons. This way the television does not consume any electricity.

7As switching off the television set does not completely disconnect it from the mains, pull out the plug to disconnect it from the mains completely.

7If the device is equipped with a power switch, switching it off using this switch will be suffi- cient. The energy consumed by the television set is reduced to virtually 0 W.

7In standby mode, the television set uses very little energy. However, it may be necessary to leave the television set in standby mode for cer- tain functions (for example automatic switch-on and switch-off and for timer functions).

7The television set uses less energy when the brightness is reduced.
