Tips

Care of the screen

Clean the TV with a slightly damp soft cloth. Do not use abrasive solvent as it can

 

damage the TV screen.

 

 

 

Poor Picture

Have you selected the correct TV system?

 

• 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, p. 6.

 

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

 

 

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

 

Sometimes poor picture quality is possible when having activated an S-VHS

 

 

camera or camcorder connected to the right side of your TV and another

 

 

peripheral is connected to EXT 1, 2 or 3 at the same time. In this case switch

 

 

off one of the other peripherals.

 

 

 

No picture

Is the aerial connected properly?

 

Are the plugs tightly connected in the aerial socket?

 

Is the aerial cable in good condition and does it have suitable plugs?

 

• Are the connection facilities to a possible second TV in good condition? If in

 

 

doubt, consult your dealer.

 

 

 

No sound

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

 

Is the sound interrupted with the mute key ¬?

Remote control

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

You can still use the M key and the -/+ keys at the top of your TV.

 

 

Menu

Have you selected the wrong menu? Press the MENU key again to exit from

 

the menu.

 

 

NEXTVIEW

No NEXTVIEW info:

 

See Acquisition and updating of NEXTVIEW information, p. 15.

 

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.

 

 

Standby

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