loudspeaker (channel 1 has been selected as
the factory default). If you should get
interferences from external RF equipment
(such a wireless headphone, mobile phone, ...),
it may be necessary to shift to another
channel. In practice, only 2 or 3 channels are
available because a step of at least 2 channels
are necessary to have enough separation.

EasyLink:

Digital link between the set and the video
recorder which allows a direct transfer of
certain information such as channel setting.

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.

S-VHS Signals:

These are 2 separate Y/C video signals from
the S-VHS and Hi-8 recording standards.
The luminance signals Y (black and white) and
chrominance signals C (colour) are recorded

separately on the tape.
This provides better picture quality than with
standard video (VHS and 8 mm) where the

Y/C signals are combined to provide only

one video signal.

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
the majority of European countries, Secam in
France, the CIS and the majority of African
countries.The United States and Japan use a
different system called NTSC.The inputs
EXT1 and EXT2 are used to read NTSC
coded recordings.

16:9:

Refers to the ration between the length and
height of the screen.Wide screen televisions
have a ration of 16/9,conventional screen TV
sets have a ration of 4/3.

Tips

Poor reception

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).

No picture

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.

Peripheral equipment gives a black and
white picture

You have not selected the right socket with
the N key: S-VHS2 (S-VHS3) instead of
EXT2 (EXT3).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.

No sound

If on certain channels you re c e i v e a picture but no
s o u n d ,this means that you do not have the corre c t
TV system.Modify the SYSTEM setting (p.6 ) .

The surround speakers are producing no sound or
d i s t o rted sound ? Check that the active speake r
and the cordless setting are switched to the same
channel (p. 1 7 ) .Check also that the active speake r
indicator lights in green (see step 3 page 16) and
that the SURROUND menu is set to ON (p. 1 7 ) .

The remote control no longer works.

Check that the mode selector on the side of
the remote control is set to TV.
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.

Standby

When you switch the TV set on it remains in
s t a n d by mode and the indication LOCKED is
d i s p l ayed 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 15 mins,it
automatically goes into standby mode.
To save powe r, your set is fitted with components
that give it a ve ry low power consumption when
in standby mode (less than 3 W ) .

Cleaning the set

O n ly 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 pro d u c t s .

Still no results?

If your TV set breaks down, never attempt to
repair it yourself:contact your dealer's after­sales service.

Recycling

The materials used in your set are either reusable or can be recycled.
To minimise environmental waste, specialist companies collect used appliances
and dismantle them after retrieving any materials that can be used again (ask
your dealer for further details).

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 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 like ly to result in a poor, p e r h a ps unstable
p i c t u re with ghost images and lack of contrast.
M a ke-shift loft or set-top aerials are often
i n a d e q u a t e.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 re p e a t e d
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.
