Digital terrestrial broadcasting (DVB-T) service area

Although this TV can receive both Digital terrestrial broadcasting (DVB-T) and Analogue terrestrial broadcasting, depending on the area in which you live, you may not be able to receive Digital terrestrial broadcasting (DVB-T).

For details of the Digital terrestrial broadcasting (DVB-T) service area, refer to the FREEVIEW website etc.

If a problem arises while you are using the TV, please read this troubleshooting guide carefully before you ask to have the TV repaired. You may be able to fix it easily by yourself. For example, if the mains plug is disconnected from the mains outlet, or the TV aerial has problems, you may think there is a problem with the TV itself.

Important:

This troubleshooting guide only covers problems whose causes are not easy to decide. If you have a question when you are operating a function, read the page(s) for that function carefully, not this troubleshooting guide.

If you follow the advice in this troubleshooting guide without any success, unplug the mains plug and ask for your TV to be repaired. Do not attempt to repair the TV by yourself or to remove the rear cover of the TV.

„ If you cannot turn on the TV

„ Poor picture

Is the AC plug connected to the AC outlet?

Is the Power lamp lit? If not, press the Main power button.

Make sure you set the VCR/TV/DVD switch to the TV position. You cannot turn the TV on when the VCR/TV/DVD switch is set to the VCR or DVD position.

„If you cannot turn off the TV

Make sure you set the VCR/TV/DVD switch to the TV position. You cannot turn the TV off when the VCR/TV/DVD switch is set to the VCR or DVD position.

„No picture or no sound

Have you chosen a TV channel with very poor reception? If so, the BLUE BACK function will be activated: the entire screen becomes blue, and the sound is muted. If you still want to view the TV channel, follow the description “BLUE BACK” on page 45 to change the BLUE BACK function setting to OFF.

If the Digital terrestrial broadcasting (DVB-T) picture is unnatural, press the Main power button on the TV and turn off the main power. Try to press the Main power button again to turn on the main power. The picture may appear natural again.

If noise (snow) totally blocks out the picture, there may be a problem with the aerial or aerial cable. Check the following to try to solve the problem:

Have the TV and aerial been connected properly?

Has the aerial cable been damaged?

Is the aerial pointing in the right direction?

Is the aerial itself faulty?

If the TV or aerial suffers interference from other equipment, stripes or noise may appear in the picture. Move any equipment such as an amplifier, personal computer, or a hair drier, that can cause interference away from your TV. Or try moving the TV. If the aerial suffers interference from a radio tower or high- voltage wire, please contact your local dealer.
