31. Operation without the 
Remote Control
Operation without the remote control is provided
as an emergency measure in case the batteries of
your remote control are exhausted or the remote
control is not readily available.
The local controls are located on the bottom
edge of the TV set, on the right.
Switching on
Press the main power switch on the TV set. After
about five seconds, the TV set is switched on with
programme position 1 or the programmed initial
programme position selected.
You can also use the following functions directly
on the TV set, without a remote control. For func-
tions which require further adjustments, the func-
tion remains preselected for ten seconds.
Programme selection
Press the -/+buttons.
Volume
Press and hold the preselection key Funtil the bar
display for the volume appears on the screen. Then
press the - or + button to adjust the volume.

display for the contrast appears on the screen. Then
press the - or + button to adjust the contrast.
The headphone socket is located behind a flap on
the left side of the TV set (see Section 35).
We recommend the use of headphones with an
impedance of at least 32 Ω. The use of headpho-
nes with a lower impedance will reduce the dyna-
mic range of the sound.
You can save the headphone volume as a stan-
dard value.

Before cleaning the set, always switch it off with the mains switch!
Incorrect treatment and cleaning of the screen surface can cause irreparable
damage to it. You should therefore always obser ve the following instructions
for treatment and cleaning of the set.
T
reatment:
Always treat the screen surface very carefully.
Take care not to damage it mechanically by shocks, impact, scratching or scraping.
Keep sharp, pointed and hard objects away from the surface of the screen.
Keep the surface of the screen clean.
For cleaning the case and the screen, use only a soft, dry cloth. For removing stub-
born marks, you may moisten the cloth slightly.
Cleaning and care:
The surface of the screen may be cleaned only with a soft, dry cloth (such as a micro-
fleece duster). If any marks cannot be removed with this dry cloth, you may moisten
the cloth slightly.
Take care that no water or other liquid can enter the TV set, since this can cause
serious damage to the set.
If any liquid or other foreign object (pieces of metal, etc.) enters the set, immediately
disconnect the mains plug from the wall outlet.
Never insert your hands or tools into the set, since this may result in electric shocks.

36. Copying between AV Devices
Direct recording
Opening the menu
If you wish to copy a recording from one of the
AV devices connected to your TV set (such as a
DVD player) to another connected AV device (such
as a video recorder), you must do this by means
of a direct recording operation. In this case, the
signal arriving at one of the EURO sockets is redi-
rected to the other EURO socket, from where it
can be recorded.
Example: you have a DVD player and
a video recorder connected to
the EURO sockets of the TV
set 
(see Section 25).
Programming a direct recording
for copying:
• Press the AV key and use the cor-
responding numeric key to select the
DVD player (playback device).
• Press the F2key.
Briefly pressing F2executes the func-
tion which is programmed for this
function key (see Section 18.1, Pro-
gramming function keys).
Pressing and holding F2for about
three seconds displays all functions
available for this function key.
• Press numeric key
to open the
timer menu. The timer window dis-
plays the AV programme position
(DVD player), the current date and a
time window of two hours.
• If two hours is insufficient for the
copying operation, use the numeric
keys to enter a later end time.
