Tips

Care of the screen

Clean the TV with a slightly damp soft cloth. Do not use abrasive solvent as it can damage the TV screen coating layer.

Poor Picture

Have you selected the correct TV system ? Is your TV set or house aerial located too close to loudspeakers, non-earthed audio equipment or neon lights, etc. ?

Mountains or high buildings can cause double pictures or ghost images. Sometimes you can improve the picture quality by changing the direction of the outside aerial.

Is the picture or teletext unrecognisable ? Check if you have entered the correct frequency. See Installation, p. 8.

Are brightness and contrast out of adjustment ? Press the M key.

Switch off your TV overnight with A on the front of the TV.

Sometimes poor picture quality is possible when having activated a S-VHS camera or camcorder connected to the front of your TV and another peripheral is connected to EXT1 or EXT2 at the same time. In this case switch off one of the other peripherals.

No picture

Is the aerial connected properly ? Are the plugs tightly connected in the aerial socket ? Is the aerial cable in good condition and does it have suitable plugs ? Are the connection facilities to a possible second TV in good condition ? If in doubt, consult your dealer.

No picture means that the aerial peripheral equipment is transmitting no picture.

Have you pressed the correct keys on the remote control ? Try once more.

Did you press a again after switching on teletext ?

Has the child lock been switched off ? See Features, p. 20.

Sound

 

Did you perhaps interrupt the sound with

 

the c key ? Were the internal

 

loudspeakers switched off by the switch on

 

the back of your TV set ? See Extra

 

loudspeakers, p. 35. Is the sound coming out

 

of only one loudspeaker ? Is the balance

 

perhaps set to one extreme ? See SOUND

 

menu, p. 16.

 

Select Spatial On in the Sound menu if

 

there is no sound coming out of the extra

 

loudspeakers at the back. See Spatial, p. 17.

Connections

 

Check whether your peripheral equipment

 

is properly connected. See p. 33.

equipment ?

 

No solution

 

Switch your TV set off and then on again.

 

Never attempt to repair a defective

 

TV yourself.

 

Check with your dealer or call a TV

 

technician when in doubt.
