Preparation

3Connecting the aerial and VCR

Read the manuals provided with the devices. Depending on the device, the connection method may be different from the diagrams. Also the device settings may need to change depending on the connection method.

Turn off all the devices including the TV.

Connecting cables are not supplied.

When connecting monaural audio to the TV, use the L/MONO jack.

If your TV has an S-connector, you can connect an S-VIDEO compatible device (such as an S- VHS VCR) to the S-connector with an S-VIDEO cable and enjoy the high quality picture of the S- VIDEO signal (Y/C signal). In that case, do not connect it to the TV with a video cable.

If you connect the VCR to the TV only with an aerial cable, you should preset the video channel from the VCR to the AV channel (channel number 0) on this TV. See “MANUAL CH PRESET” on page 18 and preset it manually.

Preparation

4 Connecting other devices

If you are not connecting any other devices, skip step 4 and perform step 5.

Use the headphones with a stereo mini jack (3.5 mm in diameter). When you connect the headphones, the TV speakers go off.

The OUTPUT terminal outputs the video and sound signals which you are viewing on the TV. You can dub them onto the VCR connected to the OUTPUT terminal.

(The OUTPUT terminal cannot output teletext programmes, S-VIDEO signals or component video signals. Also it cannot output any signals when the TV is turned off.)

Connect components outputting a component signal (Y/CB/CR signal), such as a DVD player, to the VIDEO-2 terminal, and set VIDEO-2 SET function to “COMPONENT”. (See page 16.)

The following illustrations are for the AV-29LS. Your TV’s front and rear pannels may not look exactly like the illustrations.

Troubleshooting

If there is no picture or the TV does not operate normally, make sure the problem isn’t due to the reasons indicated below.

If the problem persists even after taking the measures indicated, please contact a service technician.

Cannot turn the TV on

Press the Main power button on the TV.

Connect the power cord to the AC outlet.

The screen turns blue

• Is the BLUE BACK function on? (see page 15.)

Remote control inoperable

• Replace the batteries. (see page 3.)

Buttons on front of the TV do not work

Switch the CHILD LOCK function off. (see page 15.)

TV does not respond immediately

Press the main power button on the TV to turn off the main power. Press the main power button again to turn on the TV. If the TV returns to a normal state, operation is normal.

The TV turns off suddenly

Is the OFF TIMER function set to operate? (see page 10.)

Is the AUTO SHUTOFF function on? (see page 15.)

Poor sound

Press the SOUND SYSTEM button to select another sound system. (see page 8.)

Adjust the sound settings. (see page 16.)

< S series only >

If there is noise during mono sound output, press the button to select “MONO”. (see page 9.)

Poor picture

Press the COLOUR SYSTEM button to select another colour system. (see page 8.)

Adjust the picture settings. (see page 16.)

Is a component signal output device, such as a DVD player, connected correctly? (see page 5.)

Is the VIDEO-2 SET function setting correct? (see page 16.)

If noise (snow) totally blocks out the picture, check the following.

-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 suffer interference from other equipment, stripes or noise may appear in the picture. Move any equipment which can cause interference away from the TV.

If the TV or aerial suffer interference from signals reflecting from mountains or buildings, double-pictures (ghosting) will occur. Change the aerial’s direction or replace it with an aerial with better directionality.

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. When the image disappears from the screen, the unnatural colours will also disappear.

The picture is tilted

< AV-29 models only >

A picture may be tilted due to the influence of the earth’s magnetism. In this case, use the PICTURE TILT function to adjust the tilt. (see page 14.)

Safety precautions

WARNING

• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the TV to rain or moisture.

CAUTION

•Operate only from the power source indicated on the rear of the TV.

•Avoid damaging the power cord and mains plug. When you unplug the TV, pull it out by the mains plug. Do not pull on the power cord.

•Never block or cover the cabinet openings for ventilation. Never install the TV where good ventilation is unattainable. When installing

this TV, leave spaces for ventilation around the TV more than the minimum distances shown in the diagram.

•Do not allow objects or liquid into the cabinet openings.

•In the event of a fault, unplug the TV and call a service technician. Do not attempt to repair it by yourself or remove the rear cover.

•The surface of the TV screen is easily damaged. Be very careful with it when handling the TV. Should the TV screen become soiled, wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Never rub it forcefully. Never use any cleaner or detergent on it.

•When you don’t use this TV for a long period of time, be sure to unplug it.

WARNING

<AV-21WH3 only>

•A removable plastic cover is fixed to the television’s front Audio/Video connector. To prevent this cover from being accidentally swallowed by babies or children, remove it from the television and store it in a safe place. If the cover is swallowed seek the advice of a doctor immediately.

Preparation

1 Insert the batteries into the remote control

Correctly insert two batteries, observing the , and . polarities and inserting the . end first.

CAUTION:

Follow the cautions printed on the batteries.

Notes:

• Use AA/R6/UM-3 dry cell batteries.

• If the remote control does not work properly, fit new batteries.

The supplied batteries are for testing, not regular use.

2

Preparation

2 Connecting the aerial and VCR

• Read the manuals provided with the devices. Depending on the device, the connection method may be different from the diagrams. Also the device settings may need to change depending on the connection method.

• Turn off all the devices including the TV.

• Connecting cables are not supplied.

• When connecting monaural audio to the TV, use the L/MONO jack.

• You can connect an S-VIDEO compatible device (such as an S-VHS VCR) to the S-connector with an S-VIDEO cable and enjoy the high quality picture of the S-VIDEO signal (Y/C signal). In that case, do not connect it to the TV with a video cable.

If you connect the VCR to the TV only with an aerial cable, you should preset the video channel from the VCR to the AV channel (channel number 0) on this TV. See “MANUAL CH PRESET” on page 15 and preset it manually.

Preparation

3 Connecting other devices

If you are not connecting any other devices, skip step 3 and perform step 4.

Use the headphones with a stereo mini jack (3.5 mm in diameter). When you connect the headphones, the TV speakers go off.

The OUTPUT terminal outputs the video and sound signals which you are viewing on the TV. You can dub them onto the VCR connected to the OUTPUT terminal.

(The OUTPUT terminal cannot output S-VIDEO signals or component video signals. Also it cannot output any signals when the TV is turned off.)

Connect components outputting a component signal (Y/CB/CR signal), such as a DVD player, to the VIDEO-2 terminal, and set VIDEO-2 SET function to “COMPONENT”. (See page 13.)

The following illustrations are for the AV-21WH3. Your TV’s front and rear pannels may not look exactly like the illustrations.
