Most TV channels broadcast information via teletext.
Each channel which broadcasts teletext transmits a page with
information on how to use its teletext system. Look for the teletext page
with the main index (usually p. 100).
Depending on the TV channel, teletext is transmitted in different
systems: WST, FLOF or TOP.
The colours used in the options lines at the bottom right of the screen
correspond with the colour keys of your remote control.
About Easy Text
Easy Text considerably reduces the waiting time (on condition that the
teletext broadcast of the particular TV channel is received for at least
half a minute) by :
• a direct selection of previous and following pages which are in
transmission and of the pages referred to in the options lines
• a habit watcher list: frequently used pages are put automatically in a
list of preferred pages, so that they are immediately available
• the precapturing of the page numbers referred to in the displayed
page
• the precapturing of all the subpages.

Connect Peripheral Equipment
There is a wide range of audio and video equipment that can be
connected to your receiver. The following connection diagrams show
you how to connect them to the back or the front side of the receiver.
Note: in case of the monitor in a stand alone situation without the
receiver box connected, see the instructions with the monitor.
Note: Do not place your video recorder too close to the scr een as some
video recorders may be susceptible for signals out of the display. Keep a
minimum distance of 0.5 m to the screen.
Connect the supplied aerial cables 1, 2 and, to obtain a better
picture quality, a eurocable
3 as shown opposite.
If your video recorder is pr ovided with the EasyLink function, the
eurocable supplied with it, should be connected to
EXTERNAL 2 to benefit
of the EasyLink function.
Only if you do not connect the eurocable 3, you have to do the
following :
Search for and store the test signal of the video recorder
& Unplug the aerial cable 1 from the aerial socket x of your video
recorder.
é Switch on your TV and put the video recorder on the test signal.
(See the handbook for your video recorder.)
“ Search for the test signal of your video recorder in the same way as you
searched for and stored the TV signals. See Installation, Searching for
and storing TV channels, Manual Installation, p. 6.
‘ Store the test signal under programme number 0 or between 90 and 99.
( Replace the aerial cable in the aerial socket x of your video recorder
after you have stored the test signal.
Decoder and video recorder
Connect a eurocable 4 to your decoder and to the special
euroconnector of your video recorder. See also the video recorder
handbook. See Define Decoder/Descrambler prog. numbers, p. 8.
You can also connect your decoder directly to
EXTERNAL 1 or 2 with a
eurocable.

Tips & Index
Poor Picture
• Have you selected the correct TV system?
• Is your monitor or house aerial located
too close to loudspeakers, non-earthed
audio equipment or neon lights, etc. ?
• Mountains or high buildings can cause
double pictures or ghost images.
Sometimes you can improve the picture
quality by changing the direction of the
outside aerial.
• Check if you have entered the correct
frequency. See Installation, p. 6.
• Are brightness and contrast out of
adjustment ? Adjust the picture settings,
see p. 13.
• Sometimes poor picture quality is
possible when having activated a S-VHS
camera or camcorder connected to the
front side of your receiver and another
peripheral is connected to
EXT1 or
EXT2 at the same time. In this case
switch off one of the other peripherals.
No picture
• Are the supplied cables connected
properly? (The aerial cable to the
monitor, the other aerial to your VCR,
the VGA cables to the display, the
power cables.)
• Has the child lock (p. 15) been
switched off ?
• Is your PC switched on?
• Do you see a black screen and the
indicator in front of the monitor lights
up green, this means that the display
mode is not supported. Switch your
VGA-source to a correct mode.
• In case of weak or bad signal, consult
your dealer.
Control of peripheral equipment
The infrared signals of the screen may
influence the reception sensibility of other
peripherals. Solution: replace the batteries
of the remote control or change position of
other equipment. E.g. keep away a wireless
headphone from within a radius of 1.5 m.
Remote control
• If your monitor no longer responds to
the remote control, the batteries may be
exhausted.
• You can still use the keys at the front
of your receiver.
Menu
Have you selected the wrong menu ?
Press the same key again to exit from the
menu.
No stable or not synchronised VGA
picture
Check if you have selected the correct
VGA mode in your PC (640x480, 640x400,
640x350, 856x480, 800x450, MAC II,
SVGA, XGA).
If your problem is not solved:
Switch both your monitor and your
receiver off and then on again.
Never attempt to repair a defective
monitor or receiver yourself.
Check with your dealer or call a TV
technician.

1-26 Glossary
100 Hz
100 Hertz provides a superior solution
to the problem of picture flicker which
is particularly noticeable with larger
screen sizes.
In a conventional TV, the picture area
is scanned 50 times a second (50 Hertz)
– a frequency which is still detectable
by the human eye in the form of a
flickering picture. In 100 Hertz sets, the
picture area is scanned at a rate of 100
times per second (100 Hertz). At this
frequency, the eye cannot detect flicker,
resulting in a clearer picture which is
more relaxing to the eye.
Automatic Channel Installation (ACI)
Automatically installs all TV channels in
the same order as offered by your
cable company, provided of course that
the data is transmitted. It also
automatically includes programme
number and programme name.
With ACI, channel installation is fully
automatic, simple and fast.
