tv

Information for users in the UK

(Not applicable outside the UK)

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 'Tips' at the end of this booklet.

Interference

The Department of Trade and Industry operates a Radio Interference Investigation Service to help
TV license 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 x 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. Make­shift or set-top aerials are unlikely to give adequate results.
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 you consult your dealer on
the best method of connection.

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.

Surround modes.

Stereo

This mode reproduces only the
left and right front sound
signals.

Dolby 3 Stereo

(optimal with Dolby Surround broadcasting)

The Dolby Pro Logic* sounds
are distributed over the front
left, the front right and the
centre TV loudspeakers.

Dolby Digital

When you have connected a
DVD player or a Laser Disc
player (see Connect Peripheral
equipment, Digital equipment,
p. 21), you can enjoy
MultiChannel Surround Sound
in your home when playing

the left and right rear
surround loudspeakers
reproduce the Dolby Digital
Surround sounds.

Hall

The sound signal is distributed
over the rear loudspeakers
which creates a hall effect from
the rear.
The centre loudspeaker does
not reproduce any signal.

Dolby Pro Logic II

(optimal with Dolby Surround broadcasting)

All front and rear loudspeakers
reproduce the Dolby Surround
Pro Logic II sounds.
This sound is always present in
the movie or programme
marked with G Dolby
Surround.

Note:

When Dolby Digital sound is reproduced, the
sound info on screen displays the number of
loudspeaker signals which are transmitted.
This is indicated by 2 numbers: the first one
indicates the number of front loudspeaker
signals, the second one the number of rear
loudspeaker signals.
E.g.‘Dolby Digital 3/2’ means that 3 front
signals are transmitted: left, right and centre,
and 2 rear signals: left and right surround.
‘Dolby Digital 1/0’ means that a mono signal is
transmitted.
‘Dolby Digital 2/0’,‘MPEG’ or ‘PCM’ means that
the transmission contains a stereo signal which
can be Dolby Surround encoded. In this case
the surround mode will display Dolby Pro
Logic II.

Tips

Care of the screen Clean the TV with a slightly damp soft cloth. Do not use abrasive solvent as it can

damage the TV screen.

Poor Picture • Have you selected the correct TV system in the manual installation menu ?

• Is your TV 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
aerial.

• Is the picture or teletext unrecognisable? Check if you have entered the correct
frequency. See Installation, p. 7.

• Are brightness, sharpness and contrast out of adjustment? Select Factory
settings in the Setup, General menu, p. 10.

• Sometimes poor picture quality is possible when having activated an S-VHS
camera or camcorder connected to the right side of your TV and another
peripheral is connected to one of the externals at the same time. In this case
switch off one of the other peripherals.

No picture • Is the aerial connected properly?

• Are the plugs tightly connected in the aerial socket?

• Is the aerial cable in good condition and does it have suitable plugs?

Digital distortion The low quality of some digital picture material may be the cause of digital image

distortion. In this case select the Soft setting using the Picture menu, Smart
Picture, without changing the picture settings manually.

No sound • No sound on any channel? Check the volume isn’t at minimum.

• Is the sound interrupted with the mute key ¬? Check if your speaker
configuration corresponds with the selections made in the Setup menu,
Speakers, p. 9.

• No sound from the connected audio receiver? Select Centre input Off in the
Source menu, see p. 11.

No Surround • Perhaps the channel is not broadcasting good quality surround sound.
sound • No sound from the rear speakers or the centre speakers? Select an appropriate

surround mode, according to the broadcasted sound signal or adjust the volume
or check if the wireless transmitter is properly connected. See Surround Modes,
p. 14.

• To avoid interfered picture the wireless transmitter might be automatically
switched off. Use the wired back up solution, p. 22.

No solution found Switch your TV off and then on again once. Never attempt to repair a defective
for your picture or TV yourself. Check with your dealer or call a TV technician.

date and time. Use Reshuffle in the installation menu to place another broadcaster
on programme number one.

Wireless Surround • Are the wireless receiver box and the Surround Sound setting in the Setup
speaker system menu switched to the same transmitting channel?

• Put the wireless receiver box at least 15 cm above ground level.

• The distance between the TV and the wireless receiver box should be > 2 m.

• External RF equipment, mobile telephones or people moving around close to the

TV may disturb the sound transmission.

• When no RF surround sound is possible, or when there is too much
interference, try to switch to another wireless channel or use the wired back up
solution. See Wired rear loudspeakers, p. 22.

• For wireless transmitter modules with a built in antenna: you must direct the
antenna in a vertical positon.
