Timers (DTV Timer Recording)

By setting the timer, you can record a Digital terrestrial broadcasting (DVB-T) programme with a VCR connected to EXT-2 while you are out.

• Before using DTV timer recording, the VCR and TV must be connected up correctly. For details, see “Connection when recording to VCR” on page 65.

• When you have a T-V LINK compatible VCR connected to EXT-2, all you need to do is set the TV timer settings and the programme will be recorded. By using “Direct Rec” of the T-V LINK function, the Direct Rec commands are sent from the TV to the VCR to automatically start and end the recording. It is not necessary to set the timer on the VCR.

• When your VCR is not T-V LINK compatible, you also need to set the VCR timer settings to match the TV timer settings.

• The recording may not start and stop at exactly the right times for some programmes. It is recommended that you allow some leeway when setting the recording times.

• Provided that the days and times are not the same, you can set up to five timer settings.

• When subtitles are ON, the subtitles displayed with the broadcast will be recorded. When you do not want to record the subtitles, you need turn OFF the Subtitle setting beforehand (See “Displaying the Subtitles” on page 25.).

• During DTV timer recording, you are unable to view the SET UP menu or the DTV menu.

• For menu items other than DTV, see page 43.

Operation with the DTV menu

The TV power lamp begins flashing at three minutes before the timer start time. If you are watching TV at the time, a message appears on the screen to inform you the timer is about to start. If the TV is in Standby, the power lamp lights orange while timer recording is in progress.

• When performing timer recording with a T-V LINK compatible recording device, test the timer recording before you record the programme. There are some T-V LINK compatible recording device that will not correctly receive the Direct Rec command from the TV. If the recording device does not operate when the recording start time is reached, it is not receiving the Direct Rec command from the TV. In this case, follow the instructions of “When recording on a T-V LINK incompatible VCR:”.

While the timer is in operation:

• You can turn the TV on or off (Standby). WARNING: Do not turn off the main power.

• You can watch Analogue terrestrial broadcasting channels or the pictures via an EXT terminal.

• Please note that any programme information that appears on the screen, such as when making changes to the Digital terrestrial broadcasting (DVB-T) channel picture, will be superimposed over the picture in the VCR recording.

 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).

AUTO(LOW)

AUTO AUTO

ON ON

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.

Troubleshooting

Digital terrestrial broadcasting (DVB-T) service area

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?

• 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 52 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 (Analogue)” on page 53 to use the MANUAL function to try to change the SYSTEM setting.

 Poor picture

• If the Digital terrestrial broadcasting (DVB-T) picture is unnatural, press the TV/AV button and MENU/OK button at the same time. The power will turn off and then on again, after which the picture may appear natural again.

• 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.

LT-32/26D50BJ/SJ / LCT1703-001B-U / ENGLISH

LT-32&26D50BJSJ_Eng.book Page 68 Thursday, October 7, 2004 4:42 PM

Troubleshooting

• 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 48 to try to solve the trouble.

• Have the COLOUR and BRIGHT settings been adjusted properly? Follow the description “BRIGHT-2” and “COLOUR” on page 45 to try to adjust them properly.

• 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 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

• Have you adjusted BASS or TREBLE properly? If not, follow the description “BASS” or “TREBLE” on page 49.

• 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 49 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 10 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 TV/DTV 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 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.

LT-32&26D50BJSJ_Eng.book Page 69 Thursday, October 7, 2004 4:42 PM

• 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.
