If your video recorder does not have a SCART connector,the only possible
connection is via the aerial cable.You will therefore need to tune in your
video recorder’s test signal and assign it programme number 0 (refer to
manual installation p.5).To reproduce the video recorder picture,press

0.

Video recorder with Decoder

Connect the decoder to the second SCART connector of the
video recorder.You will then be able to record scrambled
transmissions. See also the

SETUP menu (following page).

Video recorder

Satellite receiver, decoder, DVD,games, etc.

Carry out the connections shown opposite.To optimise
picture quality, connect the equipment which produces the
RGB signals (digital decoder, DVD players,games, etc…) to
EXT1, and the equipment which produces the S-VHS signals
(S-VHS and Hi-8 video recorders) to EXT2, ...). For digital
equipment or a decoder, go to the

SETUP menu settings

(see next page).

To select connected equipment

Press

n to select EXT1 or EXT2 (or EXT3). Most equipment

(decoder, video recorder) carries out this switching automatically.

Make the connections as shown opposite.With the key

n,

select FRONT.

For a monophonic device, connect the audio signal to the AUDIO L
input. Use the

e key to reproduce the sound on the left and right

speakers of the TV set.

Headphones

The @”#keys are used to adjust the volume. Press the

m key to mute the sound on the TV set (see also sound

settings, page 6).

The headphone impedance must be between 8 and 4000 ohms.

Other equipment

Side connections

To connect to a Hi-fi equipment, use an audio connection
cable and connect the “L” and “R” outputs of the TV set to
the “AUDIO IN” “L” and “R” input of the Hi-fi equipment.

Tips

Glossary

Poor picture

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. 5) or change

the direction of the outside aerial.
Does your aerial enable you to receive broadcasts
in this frequency range (UHF or VHF band) ?
There may be interference if the TV set is too
close to equipment that is not earthed (sound
system, cordless phone, ...) or if a piece of
equipment connected to the side connectors is
operating at the same time as a piece of equipment
connected to EXT1 or EXT2 (or EXT3). Switch off
one of the 2 pieces of equipment.

No picture

Have you connected the aerial properly ?
Have you chosen the right system ? (p.5)
Are the contrast and brightness correctly
tuned? Reset the factory settings with the

SETUP menu (p.11).

A wrong SCART or aerial socket connection is
often the cause of poor picture or sound
problems. Check all the connections.

No sound

If on certain programmes you receive a picture
but no sound, this means that you do not have
the correct TV system. Modify the System
setting (p. 5).
Is the sound interrupted with the mute

m key ?

Teletext

Certain characters are not displayed correctly ?
Press the e key to change the set of characters.

Smart picture and sound controls

The eco mode is intended to lower power
consumption of the TV and to improve picture
quality of low quality digital sources.
The personal mode is redefined with the
settings of the picture and sound menus after
you have changed any of the settings.

The remote control is no longer working ?

The indicator on the TV set no longer flashes
when you use the remote control ? Replace
the batteries.

Standby

When you switch the TV set on it remains in
standby mode and

Locked is displayed when

you use the keys on the TV set ? The

Child

Lock function is switched on (p. 7).

If the set receives no signal for 15 minutes,it
automatically goes into standby mode.
To save power, your television is fitted with
components that give it a very low power
consumption when in standby mode (less than
1 W).We adwise to switch off the TV overnight
instead of leaving it on standby.You save energy.

Still no results ?

Switch yout TV off and on again once.
If your TV set breaks down, never attempt to
repair it yourself,contact the 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.

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’.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.

100Hz: Conventional televisions (50 Hz) produce a visible image flicker.Thanks to 100 Hz technology, the

scanning frequency is doubled. It is visually more comfortable and the flickering effect is reduced.

16:9: Refers to the length / height of the screen.Wide screen televisions have a ratio of 16/9 and

conventional TV sets have a ratio of 4/3.

Positioning the TV

For the best results, choose a position where light
does not fall directly on the screen,and at some
distance away from radiators or other sources of
heat. Leave a space of at least 5 cm all around the
TV for ventilation, making sure that curtains,
cupboards etc. cannot obstruct the air flow through
the ventilation apertures.The TV is intended for use
in a domestic environment only and should never be
operated or stored in excessively hot or humid
atmospheres.

General Points

Please take note of the section entitled 'Tips' at the
end of this booklet.

Interference

The Department of Trade and Industry operates a
Radio Interference Investigation Service to help TV
licence holders improve reception of BBC and IBA
programmes where they are being spoilt by
interference.
If your dealer cannot help,ask at a main Post Office
for the booklet "How to Improve Television and
Radio Reception".

Mains connection

Before connecting the TV to the mains, check that the
mains supply voltage corresponds to the voltage
printed on the type plate on the rear panel of the TV.If
the mains voltage is different,consult your dealer.

Important

This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded
13 Amp plug.To change a fuse in this type of plug
proceed as follows:

1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.

2. Fit new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A,
A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.

3. Refit the fuse cover.

In order to maintain conformity to the EMC directive,
the mains plug on this product must not be removed.

Connecting the aerial

The aerial should be connected to the socket
marked : at the back of the set.An inferior aerial
is likely to result in a poor, perhaps unstable picture
with ghost images and lack of contrast. Make-shift loft
or set-top aerials are often inadequate.Your dealer
will know from experience the most suitable type for
your locality.
Should you wish to use the set in conjunction with
other equipment, which connects to the aerial socket
such as TV games, or a video camera it is recommended
that these be connected via a combiner unit to avoid
repeated connection and disconnection of the aerial plug.

Fitting the stand (if provided)

Use only the stand provided with the set,making
sure that the fixings are properly tightened.A
diagram showing how to assemble the stand is
packed with the stand. Never use a make-shift stand,
or legs fixed with woodscrews.
