Tips

 

Care of the screen

 

Do not touch, push or rub or strike the screen with anything hard as this may

 

 

 

 

 

scratch, mar or damage the screen permanently.

 

 

 

And please do not rub with dust clothes with chemical treatment.

 

 

 

Do not touch the surface with bare hands or greasy cloth (some cosmetics are

 

 

 

detrimental to the screen).

 

 

 

Unplug the TV before cleaning the screen.

 

 

 

When the surface becomes dusty, please wipe gently with absorbent cotton or

 

 

 

other soft materials like chamois soaks.

 

 

 

Do not use acetone, toluene and alcohol because they cause chemical damage.

 

 

 

Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

 

 

 

Wipe off saliva or water drops as soon as possible. Their long time contact with

 

 

 

the screen causes deformations and colour fading.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poor Picture

 

Have you selected the correct TV system in the manual installation menu?

 

 

 

• Is your TV 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

 

 

 

 

aerial.

 

 

 

Is the picture or teletext unrecognisable? Check if you have entered the correct

 

 

 

 

frequency. See Installation, Manual installation, p. 6.

 

 

 

• Are brightness, sharpness and contrast out of adjustment? Select Factory

 

 

 

 

settings in the Setup, General menu, p. 8.

 

 

 

 

 

No Picture

 

• Are the supplied cables connected properly ? (The aerial cable to the TV, the

 

 

 

 

other aerial to your recorder, the VGA cables to the display, the power cables.)

 

 

 

Has the child lock been switched off ?

 

 

 

Is your PC switched on ?

 

 

 

• Do you see a black screen and the indicator in front of the TV lights up blue,

 

 

 

 

this means that the display mode is not supported. Switch your VGA-source to a

 

 

 

 

correct display mode.

 

 

 

• In case of weak or bad signal, consult your dealer.

 

 

 

 

 

Digital distortion

 

The low quality of some digital picture material may be the cause of digital image

 

 

 

distortion. In this case select the Soft setting using the Picture menu, Smart Picture,

 

 

 

without changing the picture settings manually.

 

 

 

 

 

 

No sound

 

No sound on any channel? Check the volume isn’t at minimum.

 

 

 

Is the sound interrupted with the mute key ¬?

 

 

 

 

 

No solution found

 

Switch your TV off and then on again once. Never attempt to repair a defective

 

for your picture or

 

TV yourself. Check with your dealer or call a TV technician.

 

sound problem ?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NEXTVIEW

 

No NEXTVIEW info:

 

 

 

See Acquisition and updating of NEXTVIEW information, p. 16.

 

 

 

Displayed time is wrong:

 

 

 

The broadcaster on programme number one does not transmit the correct local

 

 

 

date and time. Use Reshuffle in the installation menu to place another broadcaster

 

 

 

on programme number one.
