Poor picture

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 Fine Tuning (p. 5) or change the direction of the outside aerial.

Does your aerial enable you to receive broadcasts in this frequency range (UHF orVHF band) ? There may be interference if the TV set is too close to equipment that is not earthed (sound system, cordless phone, ...) or if a piece of equipment connected to the side connectors is operating at the same time as a piece of equipment connected to EXT1 or EXT2. Switch off one of the 2 pieces of equipment.

No picture

Have you connected the aerial properly ? Have you chosen the right system ? (p. 5) Are the contrast and brightness correctly tuned? Reset the factory settings with the SETUP menu (p.11).

A wrong SCART or aerial socket connection is often the cause of poor picture or sound problems. Check all the connections.

No sound

If on certain programmes you receive a picture but no sound, this means that you do not have the correct TV system. Modify the System setting (p. 5).

Is the sound interrupted with the mute mkey ?

Teletext

Certain characters are not displayed correctly ? Press the ekey to change the set of characters.

Smart picture and sound controls

The eco mode is intended to lower power consumption of the TV and to improve picture quality of low quality digital sources.

The personal mode is redefined with the settings of the picture and sound menus after you have changed any of the settings.

The remote control is no longer working ? The indicator on the TV set no longer flashes when you use the remote control ? Replace the batteries.

Standby

When you switch the TV set on it remains in standby mode and Locked is displayed when you use the keys on the TV set ? The Child Lock function is switched on (p. 6).

If the set receives no signal for 15 minutes, it automatically goes into standby mode.

To save power, your television is fitted with components that give it a very low power consumption when in standby mode (less than 1 W).We adwise to switch off the TV overnight instead of leaving it on standby.You save energy.

Still no results ?

Switch your TV off and on again once.

If your TV set breaks down, never attempt to repair it yourself, contact the after-sales service.

Cleaning the set

Only use a clean, soft and lint-free cloth to clean the screen and the casing of your set. Do not use alcohol-based or solvent-based products.
