| (1) | (2) | (3) |
| An incomplete colour television of the liquid crystal display (LCD) type, without a so-called ‘tuner’, with a diagonal measurement of the screen of approximately 81 cm (32 inches) and with dimensions (without stand) of approximately 75 × 44 × 5 cm with:a native resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels,an aspect ratio of 16:9,a pixel pitch of 0,369 mm,two loudspeakers of 10 W,power and control buttons, including channel selection buttons,a slot for incorporating a so-called tuner in the form of a module comprising radio frequency circuits (RF block), intermediate frequency circuits (IF block) and demodulation circuits (DEM block). After incorporation of the tuner module the apparatus can receive digital television signals.It is equipped with the following video interfaces:two HDMI,a composite IN,a component IN.The apparatus is also equipped with a MPEG decoder for decompressing digital video signals and with electronics for controlling the channel selection (tuning) and memorisation.It has a fixed stand without tilt and swivel mechanism and is presented with a remote control. | 85287240 | Classification is determined by the provisions of general rules 1, 2(a) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8528, 852872 and 85287240.Given its objective characteristics, namely the slot for the insertion of a so-called ‘tuner’, the presence of a MPEG decoder and electronics for controlling the channel selection (tuning) and memorisation, the apparatus has the essential character of a complete reception apparatus for television. Consequently, classification under subheadings 852851 or 852859 as a monitor is excluded.The apparatus is therefore to be classified under CN code 85287240 as a reception apparatus for television with a screen of the liquid crystal display (LCD) technology. |
