Tips

To clean the TV
Clean the TV using a slightly damp chamois leather. Never use aggressive cleaning agents.
Poor or no picture:
Are the plugs tightly connected to the aerial socket and are the connection facilities to any other installed TV in good condition?
Do you use good quality aerial connectors and cables? If an indoor aerial is used, refer to the section "Installation" to improve the reception.
TV switches automatically on or off.
Probably you have accidentally used the timer (see page 4).
Remote control is not working properly:
Probably the batteries are flat, replace the batteries. Are you directing the remote control towards the TV? Do you hear something from your remote control? The remote control has a special switch inside. When moving the remote control quickly you can hear the switch moving. The noise does not affect the performance. Are you using the remote control in a sufficient horizontal position? Is the TVA/CR switch slided to TV position?
No picture from electronic equipment connected via euroconnector or via Audio Video in:
Did you try selecting program 0? Is the electronic equipment switched on and is START or PLAY pressed?
No solution:
Switch your TV off and on again with the © button. Never attempt to repair a defective TV set yourself. Switch off the TV and call your dealer orTV-technician when nothing helps or when:
- A white horizontal stripe appears across the whole screen.
- The red lamp below the screen starts blinking when no buttons
are pressed on the remote control.
