What’s on now Preview Themes Ratings

Record Remind Info

Today,most broadcasters in Europe, are offering teletext pages containing their programme schedule of today. These pages can be requested by switching the TV to

Teletext Guide. An increasing number of broadcasters are offering an extended programme guide service called

NEXTVIEW. NEXTVIEW is a new way of presenting

programme schedules and offers more features than common teletext. With

NEXTVIEW it is possible to show for instance all the movies coming

tonight. Both facilities are integrated in this TV:

NEXTVIEW and T eletext Programme

Guide. If a TV channel suppor ts

NEXTVIEW then the TV will automatically

present the

NEXTVIEW programme schedule. If the TV channel supports just

teletext,then the TV will switch automatically to Teletext Guide. Both facilities are offering the same functions:record,remind and info. However in case of Teletext Guide the broadcaster is responsible if these functions are possible. You can search for the programmes you want to watch up to 7 days in advance. It is also possible to search for a programme by theme, e.g. sport, movie, etc. Once a programme has been selected it can be tagged,to remind you,or to record on the video recorder automatically (provided the video recorder is equipped with

NEXTVIEWLink),once, daily, weekly or series.

Teletext Guide/

NEXTVIEW also allows direct access to detailed information

about programmes if provided by the broadcaster.

The broadcaster is responsible for the contents of the information. The TV is responsible for the capture of that information and for the presentation to the user.

Use of the Teletext Guide/NEXTVIEW menus

TV channels which broadcast teletext also transmit a page with the programme guide of the day.For each selected TV channel the programme guide page can be selected with the

æ key:

- automatically if the selected TV channel supports services like PDC (Programme Delivery Control) or MIP (Magazine Inventor y Page).

- if automatic pre-selection is not possible then the index page is displayed and the proper programme guide page number of the selected TV channel has to be entered with the digit keys.

The programme guide page will be stored automatically only if it satisfies Video Programming via Teletext (VPT) requirements.

Every time you press the

æ key, the programme guide page of the

selected TV channel will be available if the TV channel does not support

NEXTVIEW.

The function items record,remind and info, corresponding with the coloured keys,become highlighted if the displayed programme page satisfies the Video Programming via Teletext (VPT) requirements. Select a programme item and press one of the function keys,e.g. Record or Remind. See Basic functions further on. The Info item is enabled if the selected programme contains a page number with an optional subcode referring to a page with more info about the programme.

Channel

The Channel guide provides an overview of all programmes that are broadcast by a single channel during one day. Already passed programmes can be made visible via cursor up. The list will start with the earliest broadcast programme. With cursor left/right another favourite TV channel can be selected.

Theme

The theme guide displays a list of all programmes at the selected date,that matches with the selected category (news, sport, culture, movies, …). The default starting item will be the current or next programme on the current TV channel. The

THEME selection is only present if programmes in the TV guide have

defined themes.

Overview

The Overview menu provides a list of programmes that are marked as reminders or to be recorded each day. When more than one programme to be recorded has an overlap in time, these programmes will be marked by a red colour.

After the programme has been broadcast,all items set for once will be deleted from the list the following day.This menu can be used to change a reminder or recorder.

Note: the TV will automatically interpret the broadcast time (as shown on the

teletext guide) of your selected programme into the correct local time and date.

Most TV channels broadcast information via teletext. Each channel which broadcasts teletext transmits a page with information on how to use its teletext system.Look for the teletext page with the main index (usually p.100). Depending on the TV channel, teletext is transmitted in different systems. The colours used in the options line correspond with the colour keys of your remote control.

• a direct selection of previous and following pages which are in transmission

and of the pages referred to in the options line

• a habit watcher list:frequently used pages are put automatically in a list of

preferred pages,so that they are immediately available

• the precapturing of the page numbers referred to in the displayed page

• the precapturing of all the subpages.

18 Connect Peripheral Equipment

There is a wide range of audio and video equipment that can be connected to your TV. The following connection diagrams show you how to connect them.

Connect the aerial cables 1, 2 and, to obtain the optimum picture quality, eurocable

3 as shown opposite.

If your video recorder is provided with the EasyLink function, the eurocable supplied with it should be connected to

EXTERNAL 2 to benefit from the EasyLink

functionality.

If the eurocable 3 is not used the following steps are required:

Search for and store the test signal of the video recorder

& Unplug the aerial cable 1 from the aerial socket x of your video recorder. é Switch on your TV and put the video recorder on the test signal.

(See the handbook for your video recorder.)

“ Search for the test signal of your video recorder in the same way as you

searched for and stored the TV signals. See Installation,Searching for and storing TV channels, Manual installation, p.5.

‘ Store the test signal under programme number 0 or between 90 and 99. ( Replace the aerial cable in the aerial socket x of your video recorder after

you have stored the test signal.

Decoder and video recorder

Connect a eurocable 4 to your decoder and to the special euroconnector of your video recorder. See also the video recorder handbook. See Define Decoder/Descrambler prog.numbers,p. 7. You can also connect your decoder directly to

EXTERNAL 1 or 2 with a

eurocable.

Tips & Index

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?

• Is your TV or house aerial located too

close to loudspeakers,non-ear thed 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.5.

• Are brightness and contrast out of adjustment? Select Factory settings in the Setup menu,p.7.

• 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

EXT1 or EXT2 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?

• Are the connection facilities to a possible second TV in good condition? If in doubt, consult your dealer.

No sound

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

• Is the sound interrupted with the mute key

¬?

Remote control

100 Hz

100 Hertz provides a superior solution to the problem of picture flicker which is particularly noticeable with larger screen sizes.In a conventional TV, the picture area is scanned 50 times a second (50 Hertz) – a frequency which is still detectable by the human eye in the form of a flickering picture.In 100 Hertz sets, the picture area is scanned at a rate of 100 times per second (100 Hertz).At this frequency, the eye cannot detect flicker, resulting in a clearer picture which is more relaxing to the eye.
