- using an RCA cable to the component inputs of the LCD TV

set.

4.4 Video recorder

d Use a SCART cable to connect a SCART socket on the LCD

TV set to the SCART socket of your video recorder.

4.5 S-VHS video recorder/video camera

If you want to playback signals from an S-VHS video recorder or

video camera on your television set, connect the devices to the

appropriate inputs on the left at the back of the TV set.

4.6 Hi-ﬁ ampliﬁ er

4.6.1 Analogue

To achieve the best possible audio quality, you can connect the LCD

TV set to a hi-ﬁ ampliﬁ er. To do so, use a suitable cable to connect

the RCA sockets of the analogue audio output at the back of the

television set to an input on your hi-ﬁ ampliﬁ er (e.g. CD or AUX.

Caution! The phono input is not suitable!).

4.6.2 Digital

If your ampliﬁ er is equipped with an appropriate electrical or optical

input (SPDIF), connect the digital audio output socket (electrical

or optical) to the input of your ampliﬁ er.

Depending on the particular broadcasting station, sampling rates of

32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz are available.

EN

4.8 Serial interface (RS 232)

The RS 232 interface is used for updating the operating software

and for pre-programming the TV using a PC.

4.9 USB port

The USB port is used for updating the operating software and for

pre-programming the TV using a PC or USB device. Furthermore,

you can connect a USB device to this port.

4.10 Headphones

If you want to use headphones, connect them to the headphone

socket at the back of the TV set on the left.

4.11 Mains power connection

You must only connect the LCD TV set to the mains power supply

(230 V / 50 Hz) after you have ﬁ rst connected the television to all the

other components. This will ensure the TV set or other components

do not suffer irreparable damage.

4.12 PC

If your PC has a DVI output, we recommend you connect the PC

using a DVI-HDMI cable to the HDMI connection of the television

set. Otherwise, please use a VGA cable and connect the PC to the

VGA socket of the television set.

> Afterwards, use the 0/AV button on the remote control to switch

the television set to VGA playback or HDMI playback.

If you have established the connection using a DVI-HDMI cable,

the switchover should take place automatically.

Before connecting the PC to the television set, it makes good

sense to conﬁ gure the resolution of the graphics card so it supplies

a picture in one of the formats supported by the television. The

supported formats are listed in the speciﬁ cations (Point 14). One

of the resolutions supported, for example, is 1024*768@60Hz.

Please refer to the user manual of your PC‘s operating system for

information on how to set a particular resolution for your graphics

card. In Windows you can generally ﬁ nd this setting using Start

Menu -> Control Panel -> Appearance and Themes -> Display ->

Settings.

You will obtain optimum results (a full-screen picture with the best

possible resolution) if you supply the panel with a signal in its native

resolution (1366*768). In accordance with the VESA CVT standard,

a resolution of 1360*768@50Hz is available that is therefore

an almost perfect match. The exact parameters are listed in the

speciﬁ cations (Point 14). Your television informs the PC about this

resolution via DDC. Unfortunately, there is no assurance that the

graphics card driver will always accept it.

If you see slight interference or have a blurred picture with a

connection via the VGA input, please correct this using the Trigger

level setting in Menu -> Settings -> VGA setting -> Trigger level.

If you need to adjust the horizontal position of the picture you can do

so using the Horizontal position control in the same menu.

5 First-time installation

Once you have read the safety notices and connected the TV set as

described in Chapter 4, you can switch on the TV set as described

in Chapter 6. When you switch on the TV set for the ﬁ rst time the

transmitted with a data rate that is too low). In the case of analogue

sources (e.g. video recorder), the Maximum setting can bring about

an improvement. In other cases, the Normal setting is advisable.

> Use the up/down arrow buttons to mark the Sharpness item.

> Use the right/left arrow buttons to set the sharpness to

Minimum, Normal or Maximum.

Noise suppression only picture settings

The visual impression when viewing noisy sources (e.g. an old

ﬁ lm) can be improved with noise suppression. This improvement,

however, also results in a smearing effect seen during movements.

Staircase reduction

(only picture settings)

The staircase reduction setting optimises the footage recorded with

a television camera (interlaced) for progressive display on an LCD

screen. The picture recorded by a ﬁ lm camera is not affected by this.

It is advisable to activate staircase reduction.

> Use the up/down arrow buttons to mark the Staircase

reduction item.

> Use the up/down arrow buttons to switch staircase reduction

On or Off.

Motion compensation

(only picture settings)

The motion compensation feature prevents a bothersome

shuddering effect that can be seen during movement (in particular

during camera panning) when ﬁ lm footage is played back.

In contrast with television cameras, which record 50 frames per

second, ﬁ lm cameras record only 24 frames. This is not high

enough for fast movements. The motion compensation feature

therefore uses motion analysis to compute intermediate pictures

in a complicated computational process during running time. The

motion compensation feature should be activated.

> Use the up/down arrow buttons to mark the Motion

compensation item.

Aspect ratio

This setting lets you decide how programmes broadcast in 4:3 format

(standard television format) are displayed on your 16:9 widescreen

television. With the Original setting you can achieve undistorted

playback that is true to the original. Naturally you will see black bars

on the left and right of the picture.

The Always 16:9 setting zooms into the originally narrow picture so

that it ﬁ lls the entire width of your 16:9 screen. Although the black

bars disappear accordingly, the geometry of the displayed picture is

distorted (e.g. eggheads).

The Optimal setting is a compromise. In this case the geometry is

only slightly distorted so that faces still appear natural. In addition,

some picture information is cut off from the top and bottom.

This is generally not bothersome because broadcasters do not place

16

important information in this area anyway since standard cathode

ray television sets are incapable of displaying the entire picture due

to other technical reasons. With the Optimal setting, narrow black

bars remain visible on the left and right of the picture. To observe the

effect that these settings options have, select a programme being

broadcast in 4:3 format. Switch to the Optimal or Original setting.

You will now recognise a programme broadcast in 4:3 format by its

black bars on the sides.

> Use the up/down arrow buttons to mark the Aspect ratio

item.

> Use the right/left arrow buttons to set the aspect ratio to

Original, Always 16:9 or Optimal.

Format detection only picture settings

With this setting you can adjust to the automatic detection of 16:9

programmes. Generally the picture source signals whether the

programme is being broadcast in 4:3 format or 16:9 format.

With the Signaling setting activated, the programme is displayed

correctly according to the picture format that is signalled. Signalling,

however, might not be provided. In this case, your television assumes

that the programme is being broadcast in 4:3 format.

A 16:9 programme without signalling will now be displayed with black

bars on the left and right as well as at the top and bottom (if you

have selected the Always 16:9 option for the aspect ratio setting,

the bars will only be at the top and bottom). If a 16:9 programme is

not indicated as being 16:9, you have the option of using the zoom

function to increase the size of the picture appropriately (blue button

on the remote control, see also Point 6.11).

If you have selected the Bar detection setting and signalling is not

provided, the television set will automatically recognise whether it is

a 16:9 programme by the black bars.

The television will then switch to 16:9 display automatically after a

short time.

Unfortunately, however, some broadcasters do not signal a 16:9

programme because they want to place advertising in the black bars

at the top and bottom. This causes the automatic switchover feature

to switch over at frequent intervals depending on whether the bars

really are black or whether they contain picture information.

In this case, it is advisable to select the Signaling setting instead

of the Black bars setting and then to adjust the display manually

using the zoom function (blue button on the remote control). In the

unlikely case that a 4:3 programme is mistakenly signalled as a

16:9 programme, you can deactivate format detection by selecting

the Off option.

> Use the up/down arrow buttons to mark the Format detection

item.

> Use the right/left arrow buttons to set format detection to Black

bars or Signaling.

If you do not want automatic format detection, set format

detection to Off.
