best possible picture.

• If you set the DIGITAL VNR effect too
high it can make the picture less sharp. It is

• The MAX setting is not suitable for high­quality pictures which contain very little
noise.

 Super DigiPure

The Super DigiPure function uses the latest
in digital technology to give you a natural­looking picture. The Super DigiPure function
includes the following two functions.

DigiPure function:

This function helps to create a natural­looking picture by eliminating unnecessary
edges from high-contrast and crisp images.
For images with low-contrast, edges are
added to produce a sharper, more detailed
picture.
You can choose from the three DigiPure
function settings of AUTO, MIN and MAX.

• If you set the DigiPure effect too high on
a low-quality picture that contains a lot of
noise, this may actually make the noise
worse. We recommend you use the
AUTO setting if you can.

Picture motion compensation
function:

This function displays fast-moving pictures
(for example, the players or ball in a football
game) more smoothly and naturally on the
screen.

• The effect level of the picture motion
compensation function cannot be
changed. The effect level is the same no
matter which of the AUTO, MIN or MAX
settings is used.

AUTO:

The TV will automatically adjust the level of
the DigiPure effect to match the amount of
noise in the picture, giving the best possible
picture.

MIN:

The level of DigiPure effect is set to the
minimum. When you set the Super DigiPure
function to AUTO and notice some noise,
change the setting from AUTO to MIN.

• The MIN setting is not suitable for high­quality pictures which contain very little
noise.

MAX:

The level of DigiPure effect is set to the
maximum. If you set the Super DigiPure
function to AUTO but feel that the original
picture quality has not been reproduced fully,
change the setting from AUTO to MAX.

• The MAX setting is not suitable for low­quality pictures which contain a lot of
noise.

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 you cannot turn on the TV

• Is the mains plug connected to the mains
outlet?

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

• Make sure you set the PIP/TV/DVD
switch to the TV position. You cannot
turn the TV on when the PIP/TV/DVD
switch is set to the DVD position.

 If you cannot turn off the TV

• Make sure you set the PIP/TV/DVD
switch to the TV position. You cannot
turn the TV off when the PIP/TV/DVD
switch is set to the DVD position.

 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 34 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 36 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 28 to try
to solve the trouble.

• Have the COLOUR and BRIGHT settings
been adjusted properly? Follow the
description “BRIGHT” and “COLOUR”
on page 25 to try to adjust them properly.

ENGLISH

Troubleshooting

• 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

ENGLISH

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. There is
nothing wrong with the TV.

• Since this TV is designed to make full use
of the resolution of the original video
source, the motion may appear unnatural
when the video source is input with 625p
progressive-scanning component signals.
If this occurs, change the output setting of
the connected device to 625i interlace­scanning component signal output. See
the instructions that came with the device
for more information.

 Poor sound

• If stereo sound or bilingual sound is hard
to hear, follow the description “STEREO
/ I • II” on page 30 to hear the sound more
easily by changing it to a mono sound.

• If you cannot hear the normal sound even
if the picture of the TV channel appears
normally. Follow the description “EDIT/
MANUAL” on page 36 to use the
MANUAL function to change the
SYSTEM setting.

 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 TV’s
menu. Press the 4 button to
return to the ordinary TV programme, and
then try operating the menus.

• If the TV suddenly stops responding,
press the E (main power) button on the
TV and turn off the TV. Press the E
(main power) button again to turn on the
TV. If the TV returns to a normal state, it
is not a failure.

 Other issues

• If the CHILD LOCK function set to ON,
you cannot operate the TV with the front
control buttons of the TV. Set the CHILD
LOCK function to OFF.

• When the SLEEP TIMER function or
AUTO SHUTOFF 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.

• 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.

48

• 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 stabilise
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.

• A picture may be tilted due to the
influence of the earth’s magnetism. In this
case, use the “PICTURE TILT” on
page 40 to complete the tilt.

 DIGITAL VNR

The DIGITAL VNR function cuts down the
amount of ‘noise’ (‘snow’ or interference) in
the original picture.
You can choose from the three DIGITAL
VNR function settings of AUTO, MIN and
MAX.

AUTO(LOW)/AUTO(HIGH):

The TV will automatically adjust the level of
the DIGITAL VNR effect to match the
amount of noise in the picture, giving you the
best possible picture.

• If you set the DIGITAL VNR effect too
high it can make the picture less sharp. It is
recommended you use the AUTO(LOW)
setting if you can. If you set the DIGITAL
VNR function to AUTO(LOW) but still
notice some noise, change the setting from
AUTO(LOW) to AUTO(HIGH).

MIN:

The level of the DIGITAL VNR effect is set
to the minimum. If you set the DIGITAL
VNR function to AUTO(LOW) but feel that
the sharpness of the original picture has not
been reproduced fully, change the setting
from AUTO(LOW) to MIN.

• The MIN setting is not suitable for low­quality pictures which contain a lot of
noise.

MAX:

The level of the DIGITAL VNR effect is set
to the maximum. If you set the DIGITAL
VNR function to AUTO(HIGH) but still
notice some noise, change the setting from
AUTO(HIGH) to MAX.

• The MAX setting is not suitable for high­quality pictures which contain very little
noise.

 Super DigiPure

The Super DigiPure function uses the latest
in digital technology to give you a natural­looking picture. The Super DigiPure function
includes the following two functions.

DigiPure function:

This function helps to create a natural­looking picture by eliminating unnecessary
edges from high-contrast and crisp images.
For images with low-contrast, edges are
added to produce a sharper, more detailed
picture.
You can choose from the three DigiPure
function settings of AUTO, MIN and MAX.

• If you set the DigiPure effect too high on
a low-quality picture that contains a lot of
noise, this may actually make the noise
worse. We recommend you use the
AUTO setting if you can.

Picture motion compensation
function:

This function displays fast-moving pictures
(for example, the players or ball in a football
game) more smoothly and naturally on the
screen.

• The effect level of the picture motion
compensation function cannot be
changed. The effect level is the same no
matter which of the AUTO, MIN or MAX
settings is used.

AUTO:

The TV will automatically adjust the level of
the DigiPure effect to match the amount of
noise in the picture, giving the best possible
picture.

MIN:

The level of DigiPure effect is set to the
minimum. When you set the Super DigiPure
function to AUTO and notice some noise,
change the setting from AUTO to MIN.

• The MIN setting is not suitable for high­quality pictures which contain very little
noise.

MAX:

The level of DigiPure effect is set to the
maximum. If you set the Super DigiPure
function to AUTO but feel that the original
picture quality has not been reproduced fully,
change the setting from AUTO to MAX.

• The MAX setting is not suitable for low­quality pictures which contain a lot of
noise.

OFF:

The Super DigiPure function is turned off.

 PULL DOWN

The PULL DOWN function displays a
cinema film picture more smoothly and
naturally on the screen.

AUTO:

This function is turned on. Normally keep
this function set to AUTO.

ON:

This function is turned on.

OFF:

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 you cannot turn on the TV

• Is the mains plug connected to the mains
outlet?

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

• Make sure you set the PIP/TV/DVD
switch to the TV position. You cannot
turn the TV on when the PIP/TV/DVD
switch is set to the DVD position.

 If you cannot turn off the TV

• Make sure you set the PIP/TV/DVD
switch to the TV position. You cannot
turn the TV off when the PIP/TV/DVD
switch is set to the DVD position.

 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 34 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 36 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.
