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 switch will be suffi-
cient. The energy consumed by the 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.
