Poor reception (in analogue mode)
The proximity of high buildings may be
responsible for ghost pictures, echoing or
shadows. In this case, try manually adjusting
your picture: see "fine tuning" (p.6) or change
the orientation of the outside aerial. In the
event of difficult reception (snowy picture)
switch the
NOISE.REDUCT
on the
FEATURES
menu to ON . (p. 7).
Bad picture (in digital mode)
If the picture freezes a lot, or in cases of block
effect, there is a problem of poor reception.
Please check with the
signal strenght menu
(see p.8).
Depending on the strength of digital terre s t r i a l
signals available in your are a ,s t a n d a rd aerials used
for analogue transmissions will in most cases
p rovide satisfactory reception of digital signals. I n
g e n e r a l , set top and communal aerials will not
g i ve satisfactory re s u l t s , best performance and
stability of digital signals can be achieved if a high-
quality aerial and wiring is installed.
If reception problems are experienced with a
s t a n d a rd aerial, a good quality, n a rrow beam
antenna should be pro fe s s i o n a l ly installed outside
the pro p e rty and aligned to cap t u re the maximu m
digital signal stre n g t h . Loft antenna's can be used
w h e re an outside installation is not possible,
h oweve r, c a re should be taken to mount the loft
antenna as high as possible and as far aw ay fro m
house wiring as possible.Aerial amplifiers should
o n ly be used when absolutely necessary. D o u b l e
s c reen coaxial cable should be installed betwe e n
the aerial and television re c e i ver and positioned to
avoid close proximity to house wiring.T h e
t e l evision re c e i ver should be connected dire c t ly to
the coaxial cable, rather than routing the signal
first through other pro d u c t s .

not work? Check that the external loudspeake r s
switch has not been activated by mistake (p. 2 0 ) .
