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. “DEVICE 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 the VCR is not ready, the following messages are displayed.

ERROR MESSAGE

NO RECORDING

NO RECORDING POSSIBLE

NO RECORDING, MEDIA PROBLEM

NO RECORDING, DEVICE BUSY

Cause and countermeasure

The VCR is not able to record. Check the VCR.

The TV input is set to EXT-4 or PC. Since the EXT-4 picture or PC picture cannot be output to EXT-2, DIRECT REC is not possible.

The recording device is not ready to record. Check the VCR tape.

The recording device cannot record as it is recording or playing. Check the VCR.

Refer to the VCR instruction manual.

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 A button on the TV.

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

 If you cannot turn off the TV

• Make sure you set the VCR/TV/DVD switch to the TV position. You cannot turn the TV off when the VCR/TV/DVD switch is set to the VCR or 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 30 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 32 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 26 to try to solve the trouble.

• Have the COLOUR and BRIGHT settings been adjusted properly? Follow the description “BRIGHT-2” and “COLOUR” on page 25 to try to adjust them properly.

46

Troubleshooting

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

• 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 progressive-scanning component signals. If this occurs, change the output setting of the connected device to interlacescanning component signal output. See the instructions that came with the device for more information.

 Poor sound

• Have you adjusted BASS or TREBLE properly? If not, follow the description “BASS” or “TREBLE” on page 28.

• 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 28 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 7 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, disconnect the power cord of the TV from the AC outlet. Connect them to the AC outlet 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.

• 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.

ENGLISH

47

Troubleshooting

• The top of the TV and the screen may become hot during use but this has no affect on the performance of the TV. Make sure that the ventilation holes are not blocked.

• When the picture is unstable, the screen may become white for a moment. This happens when the signal which drives the liquid crystal is missing. This is not a fault.

• When a still image has been displayed for a long period, a faint residual image may remain on the screen for a short time after the power has been turned off or when another image is displayed. This is not a fault and the image will eventually disappear.

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. “DEVICE 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 the VCR is not ready, the following messages are displayed.

ERROR MESSAGE

NO RECORDING POSSIBLE

NO RECORDING, MEDIA PROBLEM

NO RECORDING, DEVICE BUSY

Cause and countermeasure

The VCR is not able to record. Check the VCR.

The TV input is set to EXT-4 or PC. Since the EXT-4 picture or PC picture cannot be output to EXT-2, DIRECT REC is not possible.

The recording device is not ready to record. Check the VCR tape.

S-IN (S-VIDEO input). Then press the a button

An S-IN (S-VIDEO input) mark is displayed. You can view an S-VIDEO signal (Y/C signal) instead of the regular video signal (composite signal).

To cancel the S-IN (S-VIDEO input) setting:

Press the yellow button and turn off S-IN (SVIDEO input) mark. The regular video signal (composite signal) pictures are resumed.

• Setting S-IN (S-VIDEO input) changes the head character from “E” to “S”. When an EXT terminal receives a normal video signal, “E1”, “E2” or “E3” appears on the display. This changes to “S1”, “S2” or “S3” when it receives an S-VIDEO signal.

• Even a device which can output an S-VIDEO signal (Y/C signal) may output a regular video signal (composite signal) depending on the device setting. If a picture cannot appear because the S-IN (S-VIDEO input) setting has been made, read the device instruction manual carefully again to check for the device settings.

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 A button on the TV.

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

 If you cannot turn off the TV

• Make sure you set the VCR/TV/DVD switch to the TV position. You cannot turn the TV off when the VCR/TV/DVD switch is set to the VCR or 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 30 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 32 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 26 to try to solve the trouble.

• Have the COLOUR and BRIGHT settings been adjusted properly? Follow the description “BRIGHT-2” and “COLOUR” on page 25 to try to adjust them properly.
