Care of the screen

Do not touch, push or rub or strike the screen with anything hard as this may

 

scratch, mar or damage the screen permanently. And please do not rub with dust

 

clothes with chemical treatment. Do not touch the surface with bare hands or

 

greasy cloth (some cosmetics are detrimental to the screen). Unplug the TV before

 

cleaning the screen. When the surface becomes dusty, please wipe gently with

 

absorbent cotton or other soft materials like chamois soaks. Do not use acetone,

 

toluene and alcohol because they cause chemical damage. Do not use liquid

 

cleaners or aerosol cleaners.Wipe off saliva or water drops as soon as possible.

 

Their long time contact with the screen causes deformations and colour fading.

 

 

 

Poor Picture

Have you selected the correct TV system in the manual installation menu ?

 

• 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. 7.

 

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 or 2 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?

 

 

 

No sound

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

 

Is the sound interrupted with the mute key ¬?

 

 

No solution found

Switch your TV off and then on again once. Never attempt to repair a defective

for your picture or

TV yourself. Check with your dealer or call a TV technician.

sound problem ?

 

 

 

 

 

Remote control

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

 

 

or the wrong mode (TV or other peripheral, see p. 3) is selected.

 

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

 

 

Standby

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

 

to air and water pollution.

 

Power consumption: 1 W.
