TipsPoor reception

The proximity of mountains or highbuildings may be responsible for ghostpictures, echoing or shadows. In this case,try manually adjustingyour picture: seeFine Tuning (p. 7) or modify the orienta-tion of the outside aerial. Does yourantenna enable you to receive broadcastsin this frequency range (UHF or VHFband)? In the event of difficult reception(snowy picture) switch the NR on thePicture menu to ON (p. 8).

No pictureIf the television does not switch on, pressthe standby key (located on theremote control) twice. Have youconnected the aerial socket properly?Have you chosen the right system? (p. 7).Poorly connected euroconnector cablesor aerial sockets are often the cause ofpicture or sound problems (sometimesthe connectors can become half discon-nected if the TV set is moved or turned).Check all connections.

No soundIf on certain channels you receive apicture but no sound, this means that youdo not have the correct TV system.Modify the System setting (p. 7).

Colour patches on screenSwitch off the TV by the mains powerbutton and wait for about 20 minutesbefore switching on again.

Good picture but no soundTry to increase the volume level. Checkthat the sound is not set to “mute”. If it is,press the key to restore the sound.

Good sound but poor colour or nopicture

Try to increase the contrast andbrightness setting.

Snowish picture and noiseCheck antenna connection at the rear ofthe TV.

Horizontal dotted linesPossible electrical interference e.g.hairdryer, vacuum cleaner, etc. Switch offthe appliances.

Double or “Ghost” imagesPossible poor positioning of antenna.Using a high directional antenna mayimprove reception.

Peripheral equipment gives a black andwhite picture

You have not selected the socketconnection to the right channel with the

key: for example, AV1 in socketconnection should select channel AV1 toplayback. To play a video cassette, checkthat it has been recorded under the samestandard (PAL, SECAM, NTSC) which canbe replayed by the video recorder.

The remote control does not workCheck that the batteries are the rightway round and there is no obstructionbetween the remote control and the TV.If the light indicator on the set no longerflashes when you use the remote control,replace the batteries.

Colour Transient Improver (CTI)Color signals are processed to bring outsubtle differences resulting in greater depthand enhanced color definition, as color bleedbetween color borders areeliminated.Therefore, there is an improvedcolor definition and contrast withoutdiscoloration or blurring.

Luminance Transient Improver (LTI)A new generation edge-enhancementtechnology which is applied directly to thevideo processing circuit to increase clarityand sharpness at the point of transition fromthe dark to light areas of the image.

S-VHS SignalsThese are 2 separate Y/C video signals fromthe S-VHS and Hi-8 recording standards. Theluminanace signals Y (Black and white) andchrominance signals C (colour) are recordedseparately on the tape.
