your other hand to hold the edge of the panel and slowly
adjust the direction of the TV screen.

 Cable holder

The DIGITAL VNR function cuts down the amount of
noise in the original picture.
You can choose from the three DIGITAL VNR function
settings of AUTO, MIN and MAX.

AUTO:

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 setting if you can.

• AUTO cannot be chosen when you are watching the
VIDEO-4 picture.

MIN:

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

• The MIN setting is not suitable for low-quality 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
but still notice some noise, change the setting from AUTO
to MAX.

• The MAX setting is not suitable for high-quality pictures
which contain very little noise.

• When a picture of 625p, 525p, or 1125i signal is being
displayed, the AUTO setting cannot be chosen with the
DIGITAL VNR function.

• See “VIDEO-4 terminal” on page 34 for more
information on this type of signal.

Super DigiPure

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

DigiPure function:

This function helps to create a natural-looking 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

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 cause 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.

ENGLISH

 If you cannot turn on the TV

• Is the AC plug on the power cord from the TV connected
to an AC outlet?

• Make sure to 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 to 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/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 23 to try to change the BLUE BACK function
setting to OFF.

• Have you set the SPEAKER function to OFF? Follow
the description “SPEAKER” on page 21 to confirm the
SPEAKER function setting to try to solve the problem.

• 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 25 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 devices 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 interference 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 20 to try to solve the trouble.

• Has COLOUR or BRIGHT been controlled properly?
Follow the description “Picture Adjustment” on page 18
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, and not because of malfunction.

 Poor sound

• Have you adjusted BASS or TREBLE properly? If not,
follow the description “Sound Adjustment” on page 21
to try to adjust them properly.

• 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 21 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 5 and replace them
with new batteries to try to 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 b button to return the
teletext programme to the ordinary TV programme to 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.

32

 Other concerns

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

• When a WSS signal is included in the broadcast signal or
the signal from an external device, or when the TV is
receiving a control signal from an external device, the
ZOOM mode will change automatically. When you want
to return to the previous ZOOM mode, press the c
button to choose the ZOOM mode 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 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.

• In the twin pictures mode the sub-picture may disappear
when the external device is operated. If this happens,
press the R button and display the sub-picture again.

• The headphone volume is adjusted with the
“HEADPHONE” menu. It cannot be adjusted with the
r (volume) q buttons.

• When TV SPEAKER in the “HEADPHONE” menu is
ON, even if the headphones are connected, sound is
emitted from the TV speaker. When you do not want to
emit sound from the TV speaker, turn the setting OFF.

• 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.
