Tips & Index

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
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 Factory settings in the
Setup 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 

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.

No sound

• No sound on any channel? Check the

volume isn’t at minimum.

• Is the sound interrupted with the mute

key 

¬

? Check if your speaker

configuration corresponds with the
selections made in the Setup menu, p. 7.
E.g. is your amplifier switched on when
you have 2 extra front speakers
connected?

• No sound from the rear speakers or the

centre speakers? Select an appropriate
surround mode, according to the
broadcasted sound signal or adjust the
volume. See Surround Modes, p. 13.

Remote control

• If your TV no longer responds to the

remote control, the batteries may be dead.

• You can still use the 

M

key and the -/+

keys at the top of your TV.

Menu

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