Tips

Poor reception

The proximity of mountains or high buildings may be responsible for ghost pictures, echoing or shadows. In this case, try manually adjusting your picture: see "fine tuning" (p.6) or modify the orientation of the outside aerial. Does your antenna enable you to receive broadcasts in this frequency range

(UHF or VHF band)?

In the event of difficult reception (snowy picture) switch the NR on the PICTURE menu to ON. (p. 7).

No picture

Have you connected the aerial socket properly? Have you chosen the right system?

(p. 6) Is the contrast or the brightness badly adjusted ? Press

F and readjust the

PICTURE menu. Poorly connected euroconnector cables or aerial sockets are often the cause of picture or sound problems

(sometimes the connectors can become half disconnected if the TV set is moved or turned). Check all connections.

Peripheral equipment gives a black and white picture

You have not selected the right socket with the

N key: S-VHS2 instead of EXT2.

To play a video cassette, check that it has been recorded under the same standard

(PAL, SECAM, NTSC) which can be replayed by the video recorder.

The remote control no longer works.

Check that the mode selector on the side of the remote control is set to TV.

No sound

If on certain channels you receive a picture but no sound, this means that you do not have the correct TV system. Modify the

SYSTEM setting (p. 6).

Remote control

The TV set does not react to the remote control; the indicator on the set no longer flashes when you use the remote control?

Replace the batteries.

Standby

When you switch the TV set on it remains in standby mode and the indication LOCKED is displayed when you use the keys on the TV set?

The CHILD LOCK function is switched on (p. 8).

If the set receives no signal for 15 mins, it automatically goes into standby mode.

To save power, your set is fitted with components that give it a very low power consumption when in standby mode (less than 3 W).

Cleaning the set

Only use a clean, soft and lint-free cloth to clean the screen and the casing of your set.

Do not use alcohol-based or solvent-based products.

Still no results?

If your TV set breaks down, never attempt to repair it yourself: contact your dealer's aftersales service.

Glossary

RGB Signals: These are 3 Red, Green and Blue video signals which directly drive the red, green and

blue emitters in the cathode ray tube. Using these signals provides better picture quality.

S-VHS Signals: These are 2 separate Y/C video signals from the S-VHS and Hi-8 recording standards.

The luminance signals Y (black and white) and chrominance signals C (colour) are recorded separately on the tape.This provides better picture quality than with standard video (VHS and 8 mm) where the Y/C signals are combined to provide only one video signal.

NICAM sound: Process by which digital sound can be transmitted.

System: Television pictures are not broadcast in the same way in all countries.There are different

standards: BG, DK, I, and L L’.The SYSTEM setting (p. 6) is used to select these different standards.

This is not to be confused with PAL or SECAM colour coding. Pal is used in the majority of

European countries, Secam in France, the CIS and the majority of African countries.

The United States and Japan use a different system called NTSC.The inputs EXT1 and EXT2 are used to read NTSC coded recordings.

16:9: Refers to the ration between the length and height of the screen.

Wide screen televisions have a ration of 16/9, conventional screen TV sets have a ration of 4/3.

Information for users in the UK (Not applicable outside the UK)

Positioning the TV

For the best results, choose a position where light does not fall directly on the screen, and at some distance away from radiators or other sources of heat. Leave a space of at least 5 cm all around the TV for ventilation, making sure that curtains, cupboards etc. cannot obstruct the air flow through the ventilation apertures.

The TV is intended for use in a domestic environment only and should never be operated or stored in excessively hot or humid atmospheres.

General Points

Please take note of the section entitled 'Tips' at the end of this booklet.

Interference

The Department of Trade and Industry operates a Radio Interference Investigation

Service to help TV licence holders improve reception of BBC and IBA programmes where they are being spoilt by interference.

If your dealer cannot help, ask at a main Post

Office for the booklet "How to Improve

Television and Radio Reception".

Mains connection

Before connecting the TV to the mains, check that the mains supply voltage corresponds to the voltage printed on the type plate on the rear panel of the TV. If the mains voltage is different, consult your dealer.

Important

This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug.To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:

1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2. Fit new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A,

A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

3. Refit the fuse cover.

In order to maintain conformity to the EMC directive, the mains plug on this product must not be removed.

Connecting the aerial

The aerial should be connected to the socket marked

: at the back of the set.An inferior aerial is likely to result in a poor, perhaps unstable picture with ghost images and lack of contrast.

Make-shift loft or set-top aerials are often inadequate.Your dealer will know from experience the most suitable type for your locality.

Should you wish to use the set in conjunction with other equipment, which connects to the aerial socket such as TV games, or a video camera it is recommended that these be connected via a combiner unit to avoid repeated connection and disconnection of the aerial plug.

Fitting the stand (if provided)

Use only the stand provided with the set, making sure that the fixings are properly tightened.A diagram showing how to assemble the stand is packed with the stand.

Never use a make-shift stand, or legs fixed with woodscrews.
