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.
