 DIGITAL VNR

The DIGITAL VNR function cuts down the
amount of noise in the original picture.
You can choose from the four DIGITAL
VNR function settings of AUTO(LOW),
AUTO(HIGH), 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 to 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.

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
high-quality 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
high-quality 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
low-quality pictures which contain a lot
of noise.

OFF:

The Super DigiPure function is turned off.

cinema film picture more smoothly and
naturally on the screen.

Troubleshooting

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 causes are not easy to
determine. If a question arise 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 success, remove the AC plug from the AC outlet
and request a repair of your TV. Do not attempt to repair the TV by yourself or remove
the rear cover of the TV.

 If you cannot turn on the TV

• Is the AC plug connected to the AC
outlet?

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

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

 No picture/No sound

• Have you chosen a TV channel whose
reception is extremely bad? In this
case, the BLUE BACK function will be
activated, the entire screen becomes
blue, and the sound is muted. In spite
of this, if you want to view the TV
channel, follow the description “BLUE
BACK” on page 27 to try to change the
BLUE BACK function setting to OFF.

• Are your SOUND SYSTEM settings for
the TV channels correct?
Follow the description “EDIT/
MANUAL” on page 30 to use the
MANUAL function to try to change the
SYSTEM setting.

 Poor picture

• If noise totally obscures the picture
(snow), the aerial or aerial cable may
have trouble. Check the following to try
to solve the trouble:
Has the TV and aerial been connected
properly?
Has the aerial cable been damaged?
Is the aerial pointed to the right
direction?
Is the aerial itself faulty?

• If the TV or aerial receives interference
from the other devices, stripes or noise
may appear in the picture. Move such
device as an amplifier, personal
computer, or a hair drier that can
cause interference away from your TV,
or try changing its location. If the aerial
suffers interference from a radio tower
or high-voltage wire, please contact
your local dealer.

• If the TV receives interferences from
signal reflecting from mountains or
building, double-pictures (ghosting) will
occur.
Try to change the aerial’s direction or
replace the antenna with the one with
better directionality.

• Are your COLOUR SYSTEM settings
for the TV channels correct? Follow
the description “COLOUR SYSTEM”
on page 23 to try to solve the trouble.

Troubleshooting

• Has COLOUR or BRIGHT been
controlled properly? Follow the
description “Adjusting the picture” 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 were coloured.
It is a phenomenon 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

• When the 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 24 to hear the sound more easily
by changing it to a mono sound.

 Operation disabled

• Have the batteries of the remote
control become exhausted?
Follow the description “Putting the
batteries into the remote control” on
page 4 and replace them with new
batteries to try solve the problem.

• Have you attempted to use the remote
control at the sides or rear of the TV or
at a location more than seven meters
apart from the TV location? Operate
the remote control in the front of your
TV or a location less than seven
meters from your TV to try to solve the
problem.

• When you are viewing a teletext
programme, you cannot operate the
menus.
Press the BACK or TV/VIDEO button
to return the teletext programme to the
ordinary TV programme to try
operating the menus.

• Is the CHILD LOCK function set to
ON? If the CHILD LOCK function is set
to ON, you cannot operate the TV with
the front control buttons of the TV.
Follow the description “CHILD LOCK”
on page 27 to try to set the CHILD
LOCK function to OFF.

• If the TV operation becomes disabled
suddenly, press the Main power button
on the TV and turn off the main power.
Try to press the Main power button
again to turn on the main power. If the
TV returns to a normal state, it is not a
failure.

• The following functions do not operate
when receiving 1125i, video signal.

- Twin, PIP, Multi-display, FREEZE

and STROBE functions

41

Troubleshooting

 Other concerns

• When the AUTO SHUTOFF function
operates, the TV is automatically
turned off.
If the TV is turned off suddenly, try to
press the # button to turn on the TV
once again. At this time, if the TV
resumes a normal state, there is no
problem.

• If you bring a magnetized device such
as a speaker near to your TV, a picture
may be warped or unnatural colours
appear at the corners of the screen. In
this case, keep the device apart from
your TV. If the speaker causes such
phenomena, use the magnetic­shielded speaker instead.

• A picture may be tilted due to the
influence of the earth’s magnetism. In
this case, use the “PICTURE TILT” on
page 33 to complete 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 malfunction.
This is the time required for the image
to stabilize before it can be displayed.

• The TV may emit a crackling sound
due to a sudden change in
temperature. It does not matter if a
picture or sound does not show any
abnormality. If you hear crackling
sounds frequently while you are
viewing the TV, other causes may be
assumed.
For precautionary purposes, request
your service technician to inspect it.

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

 DIGITAL VNR

The DIGITAL VNR function cuts down the
amount of noise in the original picture.
You can choose from the four DIGITAL
VNR function settings of AUTO(LOW),
AUTO(HIGH), 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 to 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.

some noise, change the setting from
AUTO(HIGH) to MAX.

• The MAX setting is not suitable for
high-quality 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
high-quality 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
low-quality pictures which contain a lot
of noise.

 Connecting AV COMPU LINK

Supported Devices

AV COMPU LINK remote control system is
a system in which related devices are
automatically controlled when you operate
one device.
If you apply this system to the TV, you can
have the TV automatically perform the
required operations by operating one
external device. You don’t have to use the
TV’s remote control to turn on the TV or
change the VIDEO modes.

Examples of the AV COMPU LINK
remote control system
operations

Simply by pressing the PLAY button on a
VCR or a DVD player, you can view images
from the device.
Simply by inserting a prerecorded tape (a
tape with the record safety tab removed) to
a VCR, you can view the tape.
Simply by operating the AV Control
Receiver, you can have the TV turned on/off
(in standby mode) or the VIDEO mode
changed correctly.

• The performance of the AV COMPU
LINK remote control system varies
depending on the connected device.
See the device’s instruction manual.

• When you select “TV SOUND” as the
input source with the AV Control
Receiver, there are cases where the
TV’s MUTING function automatically
operates and the sound from the TV’s
speakers is muted.
In such cases, press the VOLUME-/+
buttons or the MUTING button on the
TV’s remote control to cancel the
MUTING function. You can regain the
sound from the TV’s speakers.

Troubleshooting

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 causes are not easy to
determine. If a question arise 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 success, remove the AC plug from the AC outlet
and request a repair of your TV. Do not attempt to repair the TV by yourself or remove
the rear cover of the TV.

 If you cannot turn on the TV

• Is the AC plug connected to the AC
outlet?

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

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

 No picture/No sound

• Have you chosen a TV channel whose
reception is extremely bad? In this
case, the BLUE BACK function will be
activated, the entire screen becomes
blue, and the sound is muted. In spite
of this, if you want to view the TV
channel, follow the description “BLUE
BACK” on page 27 to try to change the
BLUE BACK function setting to OFF.

• Are your SOUND SYSTEM settings for
the TV channels correct?
Follow the description “EDIT/
MANUAL” on page 30 to use the
MANUAL function to try to change the
SYSTEM setting.

 Poor picture

• If noise totally obscures the picture
(snow), the aerial or aerial cable may
have trouble. Check the following to try
to solve the trouble:
Has the TV and aerial been connected
properly?
Has the aerial cable been damaged?
Is the aerial pointed to the right
direction?
Is the aerial itself faulty?

• If the TV or aerial receives interference
from the other devices, stripes or noise
may appear in the picture. Move such
device as an amplifier, personal
computer, or a hair drier that can
cause interference away from your TV,
or try changing its location. If the aerial
suffers interference from a radio tower
or high-voltage wire, please contact
your local dealer.

• If the TV receives interferences from
signal reflecting from mountains or
building, double-pictures (ghosting) will
occur.
Try to change the aerial’s direction or
replace the antenna with the one with
better directionality.

• Are your COLOUR SYSTEM settings
for the TV channels correct? Follow
the description “COLOUR SYSTEM”
on page 23 to try to solve the trouble.

Troubleshooting

• Has COLOUR or BRIGHT been
controlled properly? Follow the
description “Adjusting the picture” 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 were coloured.
It is a phenomenon 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

• When the 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 24 to hear the sound more easily
by changing it to a mono sound.

 Operation disabled

• Have the batteries of the remote
control become exhausted?
Follow the description “Putting the
batteries into the remote control” on
page 4 and replace them with new
batteries to try solve the problem.

• Have you attempted to use the remote
control at the sides or rear of the TV or
at a location more than seven meters
apart from the TV location? Operate
the remote control in the front of your
TV or a location less than seven
meters from your TV to try to solve the
problem.

• When you are viewing a teletext
programme, you cannot operate the
menus.
Press the BACK or TV/VIDEO button
to return the teletext programme to the
ordinary TV programme to try
operating the menus.

• Is the CHILD LOCK function set to
ON? If the CHILD LOCK function is set
to ON, you cannot operate the TV with
the front control buttons of the TV.
Follow the description “CHILD LOCK”
on page 27 to try to set the CHILD
LOCK function to OFF.

• If the TV operation becomes disabled
suddenly, press the Main power button
on the TV and turn off the main power.
Try to press the Main power button
again to turn on the main power. If the
TV returns to a normal state, it is not a
failure.

• The following functions do not operate
when receiving 1125i, video signal.

- Twin, PIP, Multi-display, FREEZE

and STROBE functions

41

Troubleshooting

 Other concerns

• When the AUTO SHUTOFF function
operates, the TV is automatically
turned off.
If the TV is turned off suddenly, try to
press the # button to turn on the TV
once again. At this time, if the TV
resumes a normal state, there is no
problem.

• If you bring a magnetized device such
as a speaker near to your TV, a picture
may be warped or unnatural colours
appear at the corners of the screen. In
this case, keep the device apart from
your TV. If the speaker causes such
phenomena, use the magnetic­shielded speaker instead.

• A picture may be tilted due to the
influence of the earth’s magnetism. In
this case, use the “PICTURE TILT” on
page 33 to complete 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 malfunction.
This is the time required for the image
to stabilize before it can be displayed.

• The TV may emit a crackling sound
due to a sudden change in
temperature. It does not matter if a
picture or sound does not show any
abnormality. If you hear crackling
sounds frequently while you are
viewing the TV, other causes may be
assumed.
For precautionary purposes, request
your service technician to inspect it.

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