Setting up your TV
Pre-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
“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.
When the VCR is not ready (for example
when there is no tape inserted), “NO
RECORDING” is displayed.
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.

T-V LINK compatible VCR
Be sure to connect the T-V LINK compatible
VCR to the EXT-2 terminal. If not, the T-V
LINK function will not work properly.
• 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 “EXT SETTING” on page 32.
Connecting headphones
Connect the headphones with a stereo minijack (3.5 mm diameter) to the headphone
socket at the TV rear panel.
• No sound comes from the TV speakers
when the headphones are connected.
Video or sound signal output from
the EXT-2 terminal
You can change over the output of the video/
sound signal from the EXT-2 terminal. This
is useful when you want to dub the video/
sound from another device onto the VCR
connected to the EXT-2 terminal. For details
on how to do this, see “DUBBING” on
page 33.
TV output from the EXT-1 terminal
The video/sound signal of a TV channel you
are viewing is always output from the EXT-1
terminal.
• Changing over a programme number (PR)
also changes over the TV output from the
EXT-1 terminal.
• The video/sound signal from an EXT
terminal cannot be output.
• Teletext programmes cannot be output.

Troubleshooting
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 the power lamp flashes, there is a problem with the TV.
Unplug the mains plug and ask for your TV to be repaired.
If you cannot turn on the TV
• Is the mains plug connected to the mains
outlet?
No 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 24 to change the BLUE
BACK function setting to OFF.
• If the SYSTEM setting for a TV channel
is incorrect, it may prevent the sound
from being issued. Follow the description
“EDIT/MANUAL” on page 26 to use the
MANUAL function to try to change the
SYSTEM setting.
Poor 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 highvoltage 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 21 to try
to solve the trouble.
• Have the COLOUR and BRIGHT settings
been adjusted properly? Follow the
description “BRIGHT” and “COLOUR”
on page 20 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.
37
Troubleshooting
• 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. There is
nothing wrong with the TV.
Poor sound
• Have you adjusted BASS or TREBLE
properly? If not, follow the description
“BASS” or “TREBLE” on page 23.
• When TV channel reception is poor, it can
be hard to hear stereo or bilingual sound.
In this case, follow the description
“STEREO / I • II” on page 23 to hear the
sound more easily by changing it to a
mono sound.
If the TV does not respond to the
remote control
• Have the batteries of the remote control
worn out? Follow the description “Putting
the batteries into the remote control” on
page 6 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 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 b button to return to
the ordinary TV programme, and then try
operating the menus.
• If the TV suddenly stops responding,
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.
Other issues
• When the SLEEP TIMER function
operates, the TV is automatically turned
off. If the TV suddenly turns off, try to
press the # (standby) button to turn on
the TV once again. If the TV goes back to
normal, there is no problem.
• When the TV is receiving a wide-screen
signal (WSS) or a signal from an external
device affecting the screen size, the
ZOOM mode automatically changes.
When you want to resume the previous
ZOOM mode, press the c button
again.
• If you bring magnetised equipment such
as a speaker near to your TV, the picture
may be warped or unnatural colours may
appear at the corners of the screen. In this
case, keep the equipment away from your
TV. If speakers cause this to happen, use
magnetically-shielded speakers instead.
• A picture may be tilted due to the earth’s
magnetic field. If so, use the “PICTURE
TILT” on page 34 to correct the tilt.
• It takes a short period of time from the
time an operation such as changing
channels is performed until an image is
displayed. This is not a fault. This is the
time needed 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.
