Poor reception
The proximity of mountains or 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 modify
the orientation of the outside aerial. Does
your antenna enable you to receive broadcasts
in this frequency range (UHF or VHF band)?
In the event of difficult reception (snowy
picture) switch the NR on the PICTURE
menu to ON. (p. 7).
No picture
Have you connected the aerial socket
properly? Have you chosen the right system?
(p. 6). Poorly connected euroconnector cables
or aerial sockets are often the cause of
picture or sound problems (sometimes the
connectors can become half disconnected if
the TV set is moved or turned). Check all
connections.
Peripheral equipment gives a black and
white picture
You have not selected the right socket with
the
N
key: S-VHS2 (S-VHS3) instead of
EXT2 (EXT3).To play a video cassette, check
that it has been recorded under the same
standard (PAL, SECAM, NTSC) which can be
replayed by the video recorder.
The remote control no longer works.
Check that the mode selector on the side of the
remote control is set to TV.
If the digital output does not work, check that it
has been activated in the OSD menu (see p. 16).
Does the DVD player no longer work?
Check that the disk does not have any
fingerprints on it. Clean it with a soft cloth,
wiping from the centre to the edge.
No sound
If on certain channels you receive a picture but no
sound, this means that you do not have the correct
TV system. Modify the SYSTEM setting (p. 6).
Remote control
The TV set does not react to the remote
control; the indicator on the set no longer
flashes when you use the remote control?
Replace the batteries.
Standby
When you switch the TV set on it remains in
standby mode and the indication LOCKED is
displayed when you use the keys on the TV set?
The CHILD LOCK function is switched on (p. 8).
If the set receives no signal for 15 mins, it
automatically goes into standby mode.
To save power, your set is fitted with components
that give it a very low power consumption when
in standby mode (less than 3 W).
Cleaning the set
Only use a clean, soft and lint-free cloth to clean
the screen and the casing of your set. Do not
use alcohol-based or solvent-based products.
Still no results?
If your TV set breaks down, never attempt to
repair it yourself: contact your dealer's after-
sales service.
RGB Signals: These are 3 Red, Green and Blue video signals which directly drive the red, green and
blue emitters in the cathode ray tube. Using these signals provides better picture quality.
S-VHS Signals: These are 2 separate Y/C video signals from the S-VHS and Hi-8 recording standards.
The luminance signals Y (black and white) and chrominance signals C (colour) are recorded
separately on the tape.This provides better picture quality than with standard video (VHS and 8
mm) where the Y/C signals are combined to provide only one video signal.
NICAM sound: Process by which digital sound can be transmitted.
System: Television pictures are not broadcast in the same way in all countries.There are different
standards: BG, DK, I, and L L’.The SYSTEM setting (p. 6) is used to select these different standards.
This is not to be confused with PAL or SECAM colour coding. Pal is used in the majority of
European countries, Secam in France, the Russia and the majority of African countries.
The United States and Japan use a different system called NTSC.The inputs EXT1 and EXT2 are
used to read NTSC coded recordings.
16:9: Refers to the ration between the length and height of the screen.
Wide screen televisions have a ration of 16/9, conventional screen TV sets have a ration of 4/3.
