Glossary
RGB Signals :
These are 3 Red, Green and Blue video signals which directly drive the red, green and blue emitters in the cathode ray tube. Using these signals provides better picture quality.
NICAM sound :
Process by which digital sound can be transmitted.
System :
Television pictures are not broadcast in the same way in all countries.There are different standards: BG, DK, I, and L L’.The SYSTEM setting (p.6) is used to select these different standards.This is not to be confused with PAL or SECAM colour coding. Pal is used in most countries in Europe, Secam in France, Russia and most African countries.The United States and Japan use a different system called NTSC.

Tips
Poor reception
No picture
Peripheral equipment gives a black and white picture
Remote control
No sound
Teletext
The proximity of mountains or high buildings may be responsible for ghost pictures, echoing or shadows. In this case, try manually adjusting your picture : see Fine Tuning (p.6) or modify the orientation of the outside aerial. Does your antenna enable you to receive broadcasts in this frequency range (UHF or VHF band) ? In the event of difficult reception (snowy picture) switch the NR on the
Picture menu to ON (p. 7).
Have you connected the aerial socket properly ? Have you chosen the right system ? (p. 6). Poorly connected euroconnector cables or aerial sockets are often the cause of picture or sound problems (sometimes the connectors can become half disconnected if the TV set is moved or turned). Check all connections.
To play a video cassette, check that it has been recorded under the same standard (PAL, SECAM, NTSC) which can be replayed by the video recorder.
The TV set does not react to the remote control ; the indicator on the set no longer flashes when you use the remote control ? Replace the batteries.
If on certain channels you receive a picture but no sound,this means that you do not have the correct TV system. Modify the System setting (p. 6).
Are certain characters not displayed correctly ? Check that the Country setting has been positioned correctly (p.5).
Standby
Still no results ?
When you switch the TV set on it remains in standby mode and the indication Locked is displayed when you use the keys on the TV set ? The Child Lock function is switched On (p. 8). If the set receives no signal for 10 mins, it automatically goes into standby mode. In standby mode, your TV consumes less than 5W depending on model. In order to be more environmentally friendly,please use the on/off (power) switch to turn the set off completely.
If your TV set breaks down, never attempt to repair it yourself : contact your dealer's after-sales service.
Cleaning the set
Only use a clean, soft and lint-free cloth to clean the screen and the casing of your set. Do not use alcohol-based or solvent-based products.
