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?
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. 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 front side of
your TV and another peripheral is
connected to
time. In this case switch off one of the
other peripherals.
EXT1 or EXT2 at the same
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 if the
volume isn’t at minimum. Is the sound
interrupted with the mute key ¬?
Remote control
If your TV no longer responds to the
remote control, the batteries may be
dead.
You can still use the
-/+ keys at the front of your TV.
No solution
Switch your TV off and then on again
once.
Never attempt to repair a defective
TV yourself.
Check with your dealer or call a TV
technician.
MENU key and the

27Tips & Index
Glossary
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.
Automatic Channel Installation (ACI)
Automatically installs all TV channels in
the same order as offered by your cable
company, provided of course that the data
is transmitted. It also automatically
includes programme number and
programme name.
With ACI, channel installation is fully
automatic, simple and fast.
Child lock
Feature to prevent unauthorised use of
your TV.
Digital Scan
If you look at a television screen you will
see small imperfections in the picture
caused by line vibration. Digital Scan (an
internal process) removes interline flicker.
When combined with 100 Hz, you will see
a totally stable image.
