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 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,

 

 

 

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

 

 

 

a correct 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 ?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Remote control

 

• Check if the remote control is in the correct mode.

 

 

• If your TV no longer responds to the remote control, the batteries may be dead.

 

 

• You can still use the MENU key and the -/+ keys on top or the right side

 

 

 

(according to your type of TV set) of your TV.

 

 

 

Standby

 

Your TV consumes energy in the standby mode. Energy consumption contributes

 

 

to air and water pollution. Power consumption: 2 W.

 

 

 

No stable or not

 

Check if you have selected the correct VGA mode in your PC.
