INSTALLATION AND SAFETY _______________________________
In order to assure that this high-quality and easy-to-use TV set will be able to provide you with good service and pleasure for a long time to come, it is important that you observe the following points when installing the set. This PLanatron has been designed for the reception and reproduction of picture and sound signals. Any other use is explicitly forbidden. The ideal viewing distance from the screen is 5 times the diagonal width of the screen (about 5.5 m). External light shining on the screen adversely affects picture quality. Assure that there is enough space when installing the set in a wall recess, for example.
10 cm

10 cm

The Planatron is designated for operation in dry rooms. Should you nevertheless operate it outside, make absolutely sure that it is protected against dampness (rain, water splashes). Never expose the Planatron to any sort of moisture. Do not place vessels filled with fluid (vases or similar things) on the Planatron. The vessel may tip over and the fluid may adversely affect electrical safety. Do not place objects (for example, newspapers) on the Planatron. Do not place the Planatron close to the heating or in direct sunshine as it could overheat. Heat build-up can be dangerous and is detrimental to the service life of the equipment.

From time to time, have a technician come to clean the inside of the set, the blower and the inside of the pane.

INSTALLATION AND SAFETY___________________________________________________
Do not open the TV set under any circumstance. The manufacturer will offer no liability for damage resulting from unauthorized tampering. Use only original GRUNDIG connection cables, accessories and replacement parts. Be sure that the mains cable is not damaged at any time. Storms represent a danger for every type of electrical device. Even if the set is switched off, it could be damaged by a lightning strike hitting the mains and/or the aerial lead. Therefore, always disconnect the mains plug and aerial plug when there is a storm. Clean the picture screen only with the cloth supplied. For cleaning the picture screen housing, use only a soft cloth moistened with clean water. This TV set combines technology and ecology in a well thought-out overall concept. Only ecologically high-quality materials are used. The packaging is made almost entirely of 100% recycled paper, and the portion of plastic has been reduced to a minimum. The batteries supplied have no mercury or cadmium. The number of plastic types has been reduced in order to ensure high-quality recycling when the set is put out of use ­ all larger plastic parts are marked. To facilitate maintenance work and recycling, this TV set is easy to disassemble. This digital TV set provides optimum picture an d sound quality. Condition for this is a perfectly operating aerial system and a high-quality aerial cable. For this reason use only the aerial cable supplied or an aerial cable of equivalent quality. For the same reason, avoid cable loops near the TV set.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ________________________________
Still picture
If a still picture is displayed very long (several hours) on the picture screen, it may happen that it remains visible some time as "ghost picture" when changing the programme. This phenomenon is caused by a kind of memory effect. To prevent this effect, it is recommended to switch on a screen saver when the Planatron is operated in connection with a PC.

Colour distortions
If the TV set is not used for a long period of time (over one year), it may happen that colour distortions occur. This effect can be considered normal for a plasma picture screen. After some time, the colour distortions will disappear.

Failure of colour pixels
A plasma picture screen consists of about 1.2 million colour pixels. It must be expected that a small percentage of theses pixels (0,001%) within an industrial standard tolerance may be defect. This is not visible in an animated picture.

Air pressure
The plasma picture screen functions technologically with inert gas under the influence of air pressure. In heights 2000m above sea level, the picture may become instable and the picture quality affected. However, if the set is operated 2000m below sea level again, this effect disappears and the set will operate correctly again.

Humidity 8
The Planatron is not appropriate for regions with very high humidity (e.g. the tropics). The maximum humidity must not exceed 85%):

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ___________________________________________________
Remote control of external devices
For technical reasons it may happen in exceptional cases that an external device (video recorder, DVD player or similar) does not correctly respond to the remote control commands. If this should be the case, change the position of the external device, or change the batteries in the remote control of the external device.

Display of a VGA picture
Check and correct if necessary the VGA mode setting on your PC (640 x 480/60Hz, 640 x 400/70Hz, 640 x 350/70Hz). To ensure an optimum picture quality, use only a correctly shielded VGA cable (e.g. ferrite core) for a cable length above two meters. When using a laptop: In addition to checking the resolution setting, make sure that the laptop has been set for operation with an external video source (moitor). Additional Information for Units sold in Great Britain
Units sold in GB are suitable for operation from a 240 V AC, 50 Hz mains supply. In case this appliance is supplied with a Safety Standard Approved mains lead fitted with a non-rewireable 13 Amp mains plug which, if unsuitable for your socket, should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted by a qualified electrician. The fuse and fuse holder must be removed from the plug as accidental insertion of the redundant plug into a 13 Amp socket is likely to cause an electrical hazard. Note: The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere. If it is necessary to change the fuse in the non-rewireable plug, the correct type and rating (5 Amp ASTA or BSI approved BS 1362) must be used and the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged the lead and plug must not be used until a replacement is obtained. Replacement fuse covers should be obtained from your dealer. If a non-rewireable plug or a rewireable 13 Amp (BS 1363) plug is used, it must be fitted with a 5 Amp ASTA or BSI approved BS 1362 fuse. If any othe type of plug is used it must be protected by a 5 Amp fuse either in the plug or at the distribution board. Important: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the follow-ing code:

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance may not correspond with the coloured marking identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: Connect the BLUE coloured wire to plug terminal marked with the letter "N" or coloured black. Connect the BROWN coloured wire to the plug terminal marked with a letter "L" or coloured red. In no circumstance must any of the wires be connected to the terminal marked with a letter "E", earth symbol , coloured green or green and yellow. Replacement mains lead can be obtained from your dealer.

PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE CONTROL ___
You can use the TP 950 C remote control not only with the TV set, but also with a video recorder, a satellite receiver and a DVD player. The remote control is programmed in the factory for GRUNDIG appliances (and those of the same construction). The TP 950 C can "learn" the remote control commands from any infrared-controlled appliance (also from other companies) for the function levels for satellite receivers (SAT), video recorders (VCR) and DVD players (DVD). For this, you need the other appliance's remote control. Note: The TV function level is programmed exclusively for GRUNDIG TV sets and cannot be reprogrammed. In exceptional cases, it may happen that the TP 950 C can not learn the functions of an appliance of another make.

18

PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE CONTROL ___________________________
Programming function levels
1 Move the slide-switch to the function level (SAT, VCR, DVD) you want to
programme. ­ The indicator of the selected function level lights up for about three seconds.
