Care of the screen

Clean the TV with a slightly damp soft
cloth. Do not use abrasive solvent as it can
damage the TV screen.

Poor Picture

Have you selected the correct TV system? 
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
outside aerial.
Is the picture or teletext unrecognisable?
Check if you have entered the correct
frequency.  See Installation, p. 5.
Are brightness and contrast out of
adjustment? Select Recall Pers. Pref. in the
Features menu.
Sometimes poor picture quality is possible
when having activated a S-VHS camera or
camcorder connected to the front side of
your TV and another peripheral is
connected to 

EXT1 

or 

EXT2 

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 ? Are the
connection facilities to a possible second
TV in good condition ? If in doubt, consult
your dealer.

Remote control

If your TV no longer responds to the
remote control, check whether the
remote control is in the TV operation
position. Press the 

TV

key once more.

Perhaps the batteries are exhausted. See
Preparation, p. 3.
You can still use the 

MENU 

keys at the

front of your TV.

Menu

Have you selected the wrong menu ? Press
the same key again to exit from the menu.

No solution

Switch your TV off and then on again.

Never attempt to repair a defective
TV yourself. 

Check with your dealer or call a TV
technician.

End of life directives

disposed of.
Please ensure you dispose of your old TV
according to local regulations.

How to dispose of dead batteries ?

The batteries supplied do not contain the
heavy metals mercury and cadmium.
Nevertheless in many countries dead

of dead batteries according to local
regulations.
