receiving digital channels

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 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.

The following information will help you to save

resources – and money as well.

7

If 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.

7

As switching off the television set does not

completely disconnect it from the mains, pull

out the plug to disconnect it from the mains

completely.

7

If the device is equipped with a power switch,

switching it off using this switc h will be suffi-

cient. The energy consumed by t he television

set is reduced to virtually 0 W.

7

In 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).

7

The television set uses less energy when the

brightness is reduced.
