TROUBLESHOOTING

TROUBLESHOOTINGTROUBLESHOOTING

If a problem arises while you are using the TV, please read this “Troubleshooting” well before you request having the TV repaired. You may be able to fix it easily by yourself. For example, if the AC plug is disconnected from the AC outlet, or the TV aerial has problems, you may think there is a problem with the TV itself.

Important:

This Troubleshooting guide only covers problems whose cause are not easy to determine. If a question arises when you are

•

operating a function, read the page(s) corresponding to the operation of the function well, not this Troubleshooting guide.

After you have followed the Troubleshooting description or the operating description of the functions concerned without any suc-

T-V LINK functions

T-V LINK functionsT-V LINK functions

When you have a T-V LINK compatible VCR connected to the EXT-2 Terminal on the TV, it is easier to set up the VCR and to view videos. T-V LINK uses the following features:

Pre-set download

■■■■

Pre-set downloadPre-set download

The VCR will automatically download the registered data on the TV channels from the TV. This means you do not need to set up the program channels on your VCR manually. The preset download function automatically begins when the initial setting is complete or whenever you carry out the AUTO PROGRAM or EDIT/MANUAL functions.

You can also carry out this function using your VCR controls.

When “FEATURE NOT AVAILABLE” is displayed:

If “FEATURE NOT AVAILABLE” is displayed, the download was not performed correctly. Before trying to download again, check that:

• the VCR power is turned on

• the VCR is T-V LINK compatible

• the VCR is connected to the EXT-2 terminal

• the SCART cable is fully wired

Direct Rec

Direct RecDirect Rec

“What You See Is What You Record”

You can easily record to VCR the images that you are watching on the TV.

For details, read the manual for your VCR. Use your VCR controls. “VCR IS RECORDING” is displayed.

In the following situations, the VCR will stop recording if the TV is turned off, if the TV channel or input is changed, or if the menu is displayed on the TV:

• when recording images from an external device connected

to the TV (for example a camcorder)

• when recording a TV channel after it has been unscrambled

on a decoder

• when recording a TV channel by using the TV’s output

because the VCR’s own tuner cannot properly receive that channel

You cannot carry out Direct Rec using your TV’s control.

•

Generally, the VCR cannot record a TV channel that it

•

cannot receive properly on its own tuner, even if you can view that TV channel on the TV. However, some VCRs can record a TV channel by using the TV’s output if that channel can be viewed on the TV. For details, see your VCR instruction manual.

When connecting a T-V LINK compatible VCR to the EXT-2 terminal, be sure to connect the decoder to the VCR. If not, the T-V LINK function may not work properly. After you have stored TV channels in the programme numbers (PR) list, set the DECODER (EXT-2) function for the programme number (PR) to ON to unscramble a scrambled TV channel. For details, see “Using the DECODER (EXT-2) function” on page 30.

Troubleshooting

TroubleshootingTroubleshooting

If a problem arises while you are using the TV, please read this troubleshooting guide carefully before you ask to have the TV repaired. You may be able to fix it easily by yourself. For example, if the mains plug is disconnected from the mains outlet, or the TV aerial has problems, you may think there is a problem with the TV itself.

Important:

• This troubleshooting guide only covers problems whose causes are not easy to decide. If you have a question when you are operating a function, read the page(s) for that function carefully, not this troubleshooting guide.

• If you follow the advice in this troubleshooting guide without any success, unplug the mains plug and ask for your TV to be repaired. Do not attempt to repair the TV by yourself or to remove the rear cover of the TV.

If you cannot turn on the TV

If you cannot turn on the TVIf you cannot turn on the TV

• Is the mains plug connected to the mains outlet?

• Is the power lamp lit? If not, press the main power button.

No picture or no sound

No picture or no soundNo picture or no sound

• Have you chosen a TV channel with very poor reception? If so, the BLUE BACK function will be activated: the entire screen becomes blue, and the sound is muted. If you still want to view the TV channel, follow the description “BLUE BACK” on page 23 to try to change the BLUE BACK function setting to OFF.

• Have you connected headphones to the TV? Connecting headphones to the TV turns off the TV speakers.

Poor picture

Poor picturePoor picture

• If noise (snow) totally blocks out the picture, there may be a problem with the aerial or aerial cable. Check the following to try to solve the problem:

− Have the TV and aerial been connected properly?

− Has the aerial cable been damaged?

− Is the aerial pointing in the right direction?

− Is the aerial itself faulty?

• If the TV or aerial suffers interference from other equipment,

stripes or noise may appear in the picture. Move any equipment such as an amplifier, personal computer, or a hair drier, that can cause interference away from your TV. Or try moving the TV. If the aerial suffers interference from a radio tower or high-voltage wire, please contact your local dealer.

• If the TV suffers interference from signals reflecting from mountains or buildings, double-pictures (ghosting) will occur. Try to change the aerial’s direction or replace it with one with better directionality.

• Are your COLOUR SYSTEM settings correct? Follow the description “COLOUR SYSTEM” on page 18 to try a way to solve the trouble.

• Have the COLOUR and BRIGHT settings been adjusted properly? Follow the description “Picture adjustment” on page 17 to try to adjust them properly.

• Videotaping teletext is not recommended because it may not record correctly.

• When a white and bright still image (such as a white dress) is displayed on the screen, the white part may look as if it is coloured. This is unavoidable due to the nature of the picture tube itself, and not due to a TV failure. When the picture disappears from the screen, the unnatural colours will also disappear.

• When viewing images from commercially available video software products, or videos from videotapes which have been recorded improperly, the top of the image may be distorted. This is due to the condition of the video signal, and not because of malfunction.

Poor sound

Poor soundPoor sound

• Have you adjusted BASS or TREBLE properly? If not, follow the description “Sound adjustment” on page 20.

• When TV channel reception is poor, it can be hard to hear the stereo or bilingual sound. In this case, follow the description “STEREO / I•II” on page 20 to hear the sound more easily by changing it to a mono sound.

• Have the batteries of the remote control worn out? Follow the description “Putting batteries into the remote control” on page 4 and replace them with new batteries.

• Have you attempted to use the remote control from the sides or rear of the TV or from more than seven metres away from the TV? Use the remote control in the front of your TV or from less than seven metres away.

• When you are viewing a teletext programme, you cannot operate the menus. Press the ordinary TV programme, and then try operating the menus.

• If the TV will not respond suddenly, press the main power button on the TV and turn off the main power. Press the main power button again to turn on the TV. If the TV returns to a normal state, it is not a failure.

• When the SLEEP TIMER function operates, the TV is automatically turned off. If the TV is turned off suddenly, try to press the again. If the TV goes back to normal, there is no problem.

• If you bring a magnetised device such as a speaker near to your TV, the picture may be warped or unnatural colors may appear at the corners of the screen. In this case, keep the device from your TV. If speakers cause this to happen, use magnetic-shielded speakers instead.

• It takes a short time from the time an operation such as changing channels is performed until an image is displayed. This is not a malfunction. This is the time it takes for the image to stabilize before it can be displayed.

• The TV may make a crackling sound due to a sudden change in temperature. The picture or sound may be normal. If you hear crackling sounds frequently while you are viewing the TV, there may be other causes. As a precaution, ask your service technician to inspect it.

• Touching the screen may cause you to feel a slight electric shock due to its static electricity. This is unavoidable due to the construction of the picture tube. It is not a problem with the TV. You can rest assured that this static discharge is not harmful.
