Tips

Specifications

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, 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.

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.

Sound

You can not hear any sound. Did you perhaps interrupt the
sound, pressing “ ” key?
Sound is coming from only one of the speakers. Is the balance

set to one direction extreme? See SOUND menu.
