Tips
Poor reception (in analogue mode)
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.12) 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
analogue menu to ON.(p. 13).
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 strength menu (see p. 6).
Depending on the strength of digital terrestrial
signals available in your area, standard aerials
used for analogue transmissions will in most
cases provide satisfactory reception of digital
signals. If it is not the case, a good quality
narrow beam antenna should be professionally
installed outside the property and aligned to
capture the maximum digital signal strength.
No picture
Have you connected the aerial socket properly?
Have you chosen the right system? (p. 12).
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 & 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.
No sound (in analogue mode)
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.9).
The remote control no longer works.
Check that the mode selector on the side of
the remote control is set to TV.
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. 14).
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.
Glossary
CAM and Smart Card :
A CAM (conditional
access module) and a smart card can be
connected to the television.This unit allows you
to access subscription digital channels or special
services from the provider.
Digital receiver :
The television is equiped with an
integrated digital tuner which enables you to
receive a digital transmission with a terrestrial
antenna.The tuner is able to received Digital Video
Broadcast compliant with MPEG-2,up to Main
profile @ Main level.
EasyLink :
Digital link between the set and the
video recorder which allows a direct transfer of
certain information such as channel setting.
System :
Analogue programmes are not broadcast in
the same way in all countries.There are different
standards:BG, DK, I, and L L’.The
SYSTEM setting
(p. 9) 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, 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.
