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

 

 

Fine Tune (p. 6) 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. 6). 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 set is moved or turned). Check all connections.

 

 

 

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 Smart picture key a on

 

 

the remote control.

 

 

 

No sound

 

If on certain channels you receive a picture but no sound, this means that you do

 

 

not have the correct TV system. Modify the System setting (p. 6).

 

 

The amplifier connected to the TV does not deliver any sound? Check that you

 

 

have not confused the audio output with the audio input.

PC and PIP modes

 

Check that you have configured the computer on a compatible display resolution

don’t work ?

 

(see p. 12).

 

 

 

Remote control

 

The TV 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 15 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 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.

 

 

 

Still no results?

 

Disconnect the mains plug of the TV for 30 seconds then reconnect it.

 

 

If your TV set breaks down, never attempt to repair it yourself: contact your

 

 

dealer's after-sales service.

 

 

 

GlossaryTips

DVI (Digital Visual Interface): A digital interface standard created by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) to convert analog signals into digital signals to accommodate both analog and digital monitors.

VGA (Video Graphics Array): a common standard 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 standards. The luminance signals Y (black and white) 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. 5) 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 inputs EXT1 and EXT2 are used to read NTSC coded recordings.
