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 Finetune (p.9) or modify the orientation of the outside aerial. If you are
	using an indoor aerial, reception may be difficult in certain conditions. You can
	improve reception by rotating the aerial. If the reception remains poor, you
	will need to use an external aerial
No picture	Have you connected the aerial socket properly ? Have you chosen the right
	system? (p.10). 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 Monitor 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 Monitor system. Modify the System setting (p.10).
	The am plifier connected to the TV Monitor does not deliver any sound?
	Check that you have not confused the audio output with the audio input.
PC mode	Check that you have configured the computer on a compatible display

Remote control	The TV Monitor set does not react to the remote control; the indicator on the
	set no longer flashes when you use the remote control? Replace the battery.
Standby	If the set receives no signal for 30 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 1 W).
Cleaning the	Only use a clean, soft and lint-free cloth to clean the screen and the casing of

Still no results?	Disconnect the mains plug of the TV Monitor for 30 seconds then reconnect it.
	If your TV Monitor set breaks down, never attempt to repair it yourself: contact ’s
	your dealer after-sales service.

Glossary

VGA (Video Graphics Array): a common stan- dard graphics display system for PCs.

RGB signals : These are the three video signals, Red Green Blue, which make up the picture. Using these signals improves picture quality. S-VHS Signals: These are 2 separate Y/C video signals from the S-VHS and Hi-8 recording stan- dards.The luminance signals Y (black andwhite) 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.10) is used to select these different standards.This is not to be confused with PAL or SECAM colour coding. Pal is used in most countries in Europe, Secam in France, Russia and most African countries. The United States and Japan use a different system called NTSC.The input EXT is used to read NTSC coded recordings.

16:10: Refers to the ration between the length and height of the screen.Wide screen televisions have a ration of 16/10, conventional screen TV Monitor sets have aration of 4/3.
