There is a wide range of audio and video equipment that can
be connected to your TV.

The following connection diagrams show you where the dif­ferent equipment should be connected at the rear side of the
TV.

Via the Euroconnector

Your TV set has a Euroconnector socket. If you want to connect
peripherals (e.g. video, decoder, etc.) which have Euroconnec­tors, to your TV, use SCART 1 input.

displayed on the screen.

Via Aerial Input

If the equipment you want to connect to your TV e.g. video re­corder or satellite receiver does not have a SCART socket, you
should connect it to the aerial (ANT) socket on your TV.

Decoder

Cable TV offers you a wide choice of programs. Most of them
are free, others are to be paid for by the viewer. This means
that you will need to subscribe to the broadcasting organiza­tion whose programmes you wish to receive. This organiza­tion will supply you with a corresponding decoder unit to allow
the programmes to be unscrambled.

For further information ask your dealer. See also the booklet
supplied with your decoder.

Connecting a decoder with an aerial socket to the TV

• Connect the aerial cable.

Connecting a decoder without an aerial socket to the

Tips

Care of the Screen

Clean the screen with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Do not use
abrasive solvents as they may damage the TV screen coating
layer

Poor Picture

Have you selected the correct TV system? Is your TV set or
house aerial located too close to the loudspeakers, non­earthed 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.

The picture quality may degrade when two peripherals are
connected to the TV at the same time. In such a case, discon­nect one of the peripherals.

No Picture

Is the aerial connected properly? Are the plugs connected
tightly to the aerial socket? Is the aerial cable damaged? Are
suitable plugs used to connect the aerial? If you are in doubt,
consult your dealer.

No Picture means that your TV is not receiving any transmis­sion. Have you pressed the correct keys on the remote con­trol? Try once more.
