Do not cover these openings, as otherwise this may lead to overheating (overheating, danger of fire)! • Never exert pressure on the display. This could damage the display. • An injury hazard exists when the display breaks. Wear protective gloves to pack the broken parts and send them into your service center for proper disposal. Then wash your hands with soap, because it is possible for chemicals to escape. • Do not touch the display with your fingers or with sharp objects to avoid damage. • Please proceed as outlined in the service center section: – if the AC cable overheats or is damaged – if liquid has gotten into the display – if the device does not work properly – if the device is dropped or the housing damaged Helpline No. UK/ North Ireland 0871 37 61 020 Rep. Ireland 1-800-992 508 Web Support www.medion.co.uk Model Number: MD 30275 10 Point of use • In the first hours of operation, new devices may emit a typical, unavoidable but completely harmless smell, which will decline increasingly in the course of time. • We recommend you to ventilate the room regularly, in order to counteract the formation of the smell. • Keep your LCD TV and all units connected to it away from moisture and avoid dust, heat and direct sunlight. Failure to observe these instructions can lead to malfunctions or damage to the LCD TV. • Do not operate your device in the open air, because external influences, such as rain, snow, etc. could damage the device. • Do not subject the device to drops or splashes of water and do not place any vessels filled with water, such as vases, on the device. Water penetrating the device can impair its electrical safety. • Do not place any open sources of fire (candles or similar objects) on the device. • Leave sufficiently large clearances to allow for ventilation, particularly when mounting in a cupboard or alcove. Maintain a minimum clearance of 10 cm around the device for sufficient ventilation.

  • ANNEX 6 COMMENTARY on the CONSULTATION DOCUMENT in This Annex 6 of Sky's Response We Provide a Non-Exhaustive List of the Erro
    NON-CONFIDENTIAL VERSION ANNEX 6 COMMENTARY ON THE CONSULTATION DOCUMENT In this Annex 6 of Sky’s Response we provide a non-exhaustive list of the errors in Ofcom’s Consultation Document, which are not identified elsewhere in this Response. The significant number of errors, inaccuracies and misconceptions suggests that Ofcom has an inadequate understanding of the context in which pay TV services are provided in the UK and elsewhere. A proper appreciation of that context is an essential prerequisite to accurate analysis of the sector. Section 3 Overview of the UK pay TV market ¶ 3.13 “An estimated one million households also receive free-to-view digital satellite.” This appears to be Ofcom’s own estimate of the number of households who use a Sky set-top box to receive television services, but do not subscribe to Sky’s DTH pay TV services. (No source is provided for the estimate.) If this is the case Ofcom should note that the estimate of one million households is subject to a wide margin of error, being based, Sky understands, on an arbitrary assumption that a certain (constant) proportion of churners from Sky’s DTH pay TV services continue to use their set-top boxes to receive digital free to air television services. It is probable that the actual number of such households is substantially higher than this estimate. Moreover, this reference fails to note that all 8.8 million UK and ROI subscribers to Sky’s DTH pay TV service, and subscribers to other DTH pay TV services, also receive “free-to-view digital satellite”.

THE NEW COPYRIGHT ACT AND CABLE TELEVISION-A SIGNAL OF CHANGE By MICHAEL BOTEIN* Cable television has existed for more than a generation, but only now has the cable copyright issue reached a final and legislative reso­ lution. 1 There are at least several reasons for the delay in defining the cable-copyright interface. First, until the last decade, cable-or "com­ munity antenna television" (CA TV)-was a literally low-visibility medium; it merely relayed four or five otherwise unavailable broad­ cast television signals to a few hundred thousand subscribers in otherwise unserved or "white" areas, and had no program origination capability.2 Second, when cable eventually did become an issue, the only available forum was the Federal Communications Commission. Reasonably enough, the Commission then viewed, and to a- great ex­ tent still views, cable mainly in terms of its potential impact on broad­ cast television's advertising revenues, rather than in terms of compen­ sation to copyright holders.

  • Top up TV Complaint Against Sky Under the Wholesale Must- Offer Obligation CI+ Cams
    Ofcom decision – second TUTV complaint Top Up TV complaint against Sky under the wholesale must- offer obligation CI+ CAMs This is the public version; confidential material has been redacted and is indicated with [ ] Ofcom decision Publication date: 13 December 2010 Ofcom decision – second TUTV complaint Contents Section Page 1 Summary 2 2 Introduction 3 3 Legal framework for consideration of complaint 7 4 Assessment of compliance with Condition 14A as varied by the Order 9 5 Direction 17 1 Ofcom decision – second TUTV complaint Section 1 1 Summary 1.1 Sky excludes the right to distribute Sky Sports 1 and Sky Sports 2 via conditional access modules (“CAMs”1) at clause 7.4.3(a) of the agreement that it has entered into with Top Up TV for wholesale supply of those channels. It justifies this exclusion, and refuses to lift it, on the basis that distributing those channels via CAMs amounts to “simple reselling” of the channels. Sky considers that “simple reselling” by retailers is precluded from the obligation on Sky to make offers to wholesale the channels set out in Ofcom’s pay TV statement of 31 March 2010. 1.2 The exclusion is, on its face, contrary to the wording of the wholesale must-offer licence condition as varied by the Competition Appeal Tribunal’s order, which requires an offer to be made to Top Up TV for distribution of the channels via its DTT platform. The condition as varied by the order allows no scope for Sky to limit its offer to certain devices within Top Up TV’s platform except in relation to technical standards and standards of security and encryption.

  • Overseas Expansion and Technological Capabilities : the Case
    Interim report for Industrial organisation in China: Theory building and analysis of new dimensions, IDE-JETRO, Fiscal year 2016 Overseas expansion and technological capabilities: The case of Chinese electronics firms Koichiro Kimura* Abstract Many indigenous Chinese firms have become outward looking for further growth. It is known that the productivities of internationalizing firms are higher on average than those of their non-internationalizing counterparts. As predicted, Chinese firms with increasing technological capabilities also have been accelerating overseas operations. The formation of technological capabilities is, however, different among firms. In this case study, we analyse the formation of technological capabilities in China’s home appliance and electronics industry, focusing on the technological gaps between foreign and Chinese firms. We show that when technological gaps are smaller, firms have possibilities to increase technological capabilities by acquiring businesses of firms in developed countries. However, in the telecommunication equipment industry, wherein bigger gaps exist, it is still difficult to buy major competitors because they retain competitiveness. Moreover, since business opportunities in new markets are increasing and the hurdles for starting businesses are decreasing, even startups from developing countries have opportunities to seize first-mover advantages. Keywords: innovation, R&D, M&A, startups, China, electronics industry * Associate Senior Research Fellow, Inter-disciplinary Studies Center, Institute of Developing Economies (IDE), Japan. The author thanks the members of the research project “Industrial Organisation in China: Theory Building and Analysis of New Dimensions,” Dr. Mai Fujita (the project leader, IDE), Dr. John Humphrey (University of Sussex), Professor Shiro Hioki (Tohoku University), and Dr. Ke Ding (IDE) for their comments.
