Antenna connection

Optimum reception of colour requires a good signal and will generally mean that an outdoor aerial must be used. The exact type and position of the aerial will depend upon your particular area.

Notes:

It is recommended that the 75-ohm coaxial cable be used to eliminate interference and noise which may occur due to radio wave conditions. The aerial cable should not be bundled with the power cord and the like.

INSTALL the unit in a room where direct light will not fall upon the screen. Total darkness or a reflection on the picture screen may cause eyestrain. Soft and indirect lighting is recommended for comfortable viewing.

Installation

Installing batteries

Open the battery cover.

Install two "AAA" batteries matching the +/polarities of the battery to the +/- marks.

Notes:

Do not try to recharge batteries they are not intended to be recharged. Use only the size and type of batteries specified. Do not mix different types of batteries together or old batteries with fresh ones. When the remote control will not be used for a long period of time or when the batteries are worn out, remove the batteries. Do not throw the batteries into a fire. Dispose of used batteries in the specified manner. Do not drop, dampen or disassemble the remote control.

Notes:

When there is an obstacle between the TV and the transmitter, the transmitter may not operate. When direct sunlight, and incandescent lamp, fluorescent lamp or any other strong light shines on the REMOTE SENSOR of the TV the remote operation may be unstable.

Description of Teletext

Teletext is a free service broadcast by most TV stations which gives up-to-the-minute information on news, weather, television programs, share prices and many other topics. The thing to remember about Teletext is that it is slow. It is the nature of the system itself, where a large amount of information is sent using a small fraction of the TV signal.

TV cabinet creaks

Remote controller does not work

Unevenness in colour in some parts of the screen

Even if the picture or the sound is normal, changes in the room temperature sometimes make the TV cabinet expand or contract, making a noise. This does not indicate a malfunction.

The batteries may be worn out. The batteries may be installed with their polarity reversed.

When the set is switched on, do not shift or move the set around. Sometimes it may develop an unevenness in colour in some parts of the screen. This can be eliminated by switching off the set with the POWER switch and wait for 30 minutes before switching on again.

Toubleshooting Guide

Reception disturbances

Most types of television interference can be remedied by adjusting the height and position of the VHF/UHF antenna. Outdoor antennas are recommended for best results if not using cable. The most common types of television interference are shown below. If one of these symptoms appear when the TV is connected to a Cable TV system, the disturbance may be caused by the local cable company broadcast.

IGNITION:

Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, picture, may flutter or drift. Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electric drills and other electric appliances.

GHOSTS:

Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the direct path and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills or other objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve the reception.

SNOW:

If your receiver is located in the fringe area of a television station where the signal is weak, your picture may be marred by the appearance of small dots. When the signal is extremely weak, it maybe necessary to install an external antenna to improve the picture.

RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE:

This interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks, and in some cases, causes loss of contrast in the picture.

PICTURE SIZE VARIATION:

A slight picture size variation is quite normal when you adjust the CONTRAST or BRIGHTNESS setting.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect your unit from the AC power source when cleaning. The finish on the receiver may be cleaned with a dust cloth and cared for as other furniture. Use caution when cleaning and wiping the plastic parts. Mild soap and a soft, damp cloth may be used.
