Tips

ß

Poor reception or no picture

The proximity of mountains or high buildings can cause ghost pictures,
echoing or shadows. If this is the case, try tuning the picture using 

FINE

TUNE

(p. 4).

Do you have the right system (p. 4)? 
Check that the aerial plug or euro c o n n e c t o r plug is properly connected.
Check also that your aerial is capable of receiving broadcasts in this
frequency range (

UHF

or 

VHF

).

Adjusting the picture

If the picture is out of focus, or if you are having difficulties finding the right
settings, select one of the Smart picture controls 

( p. 2) and store it

using the 

P E R S O N A L

setting (p.5).

In case of bad reception (fuzzy picture), set the 

NOISE RED

to 

ON

: p. 5.

The picture is in black and white

To read a video cassette, check that it is recorded in the same format as
that of the video recorder (

PAL

,

SECAM

or 

NTSC

).

No sound

If certain programmes have a picture but no sound, this is because you do
not have the correct TV system (see p. 4).

Standby

When you switch on the set, if it remains 
in standby mode and the 

LOCKED

message is displayed, this means that the

LOCK

function is activated (p. 6).

The set switches automatically to standby if it re c e i ves no signals for a period
of 15 minu t e s .
When it is in standby mode, the set uses energy.To save electricity, we
advise you to switch it off using the on-off button.

Still having problems?

If the set breaks down, never try to repair it yourself. Consult your after-
sales service department instead.

Recycling 

The materials used in your set are either reusable or can be recycled.
To minimise environmental waste, specialist companies collect used
appliances and dismantle them after retrieving any materials that can be
used again (ask your dealer for further details).
