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.

“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.

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)

 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.

• When you connect the decoder to the
VCR, 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 “DECODER (EXT-2)” on
page 41.

 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 44.

• The signals from EXT-4 and PC IN
terminal cannot be output from EXT-2.

 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.

 Connecting speakers/amplifier

While referring to the audio equipment
connection diagram, connect the audio
equipment you want to the TV.
You can use external front speakers to listen
to the TV sound instead of the TV speakers.

Before connecting anything:

• Read the manuals provided with the
amplifier and speakers.

• Turn the TV and amplifier off.

• Note that connecting cables are not
supplied.

CH/CC numbers

• When two CH/CC numbers correspond to one Channel number, choose either one according to
the current COUNTRY setting. When the COUNTRY setting is other than FRANCE, choose a
two-digit CH/CC number. When the COUNTRY setting is FRANCE, choose a three-digit CH/
CC number.

• Find the CH/CC number (CC110 to CC161) corresponding to the TV channel (SECAM-L
system) from a French cable TV station, based on the broadcast frequency of the TV channel.
When you do not know the broadcast frequency, please contact the cable TV station.

• The CH/CC numbers of CH102-CH169 and CC110-CC161 correspond to the TV channels
being broadcast by a SECAM-L system. The other CH/CC numbers correspond to the TV
channels being broadcast by a method other than a SECAM-L system.

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 35 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 37 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 32 to try
to solve the trouble.

• Have the COLOUR and BRIGHT settings
been adjusted properly? Follow the
description “BRIGHT-2” and
“COLOUR” on page 29 to try to adjust
them properly.

52

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 33.

• 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 33 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 8 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

53

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.
