Tips
Poor reception
The proximity of mountains or high buildings may be responsible for ghost pictures, echoing or shadows. In this case, try manually adjustingyour picture: see Fine Tuning (p. 6) or modify the orienta- tion 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
If the television does not switch on, press the standby key 
(located on the remote control) twice. Have you connected the aerial socket properly? Have you chosen the right system? (p. 6). Poorly connected euroconnector cables or aerial sockets are often the cause of picture or sound problems (sometimes the connectors can become half discon- nected if the TV set is moved or turned). Check all connections.
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).
Colour patches on screen
Switch off the TV by the mains power button and wait for about 20 minutes before switching on again.
Good picture but no sound
Try to increase the volume level. Check that the sound is not set to “mute”. If it is, press the 
key to restore the sound.
Good sound but poor colour or no picture
Try to increase the contrast and brightness setting.
Snowish picture and noise
Check antenna connection at the rear of the TV.
Horizontal dotted lines
Possible electrical interference e.g. hairdryer, vacuum cleaner, etc. Switch off the appliances.
Double or “Ghost” images
Possible poor positioning of antenna. Using a high directional antenna may improve reception.
Peripheral equipment gives a black and white picture
You have not selected the socket connection to the right channel with the 
key: for example,AV1 in socket connection should select channel AV1 to placback.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 does not work
Check that the batteries are the right way round and there is no obstruction between the remote control and the TV. If the light indicator on the set no longer flashes when you use the remote control, replace the batteries.
