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 the English section in 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.

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. 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.

Loop aerial (if provided) The loop aerial packed with the set will give satisfactory reception under good signal conditions. Fit the aerial bracket and lead by

pushing the peg into the square hole in the backcover until it latches in place. Then insert the plug on the lead into the aerial socket.

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 Teletext Programme

Guide. If a TV channel supports

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 Level 2.0), 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

& Press the æ key on the remote control to display/cancel the Teletext Guide/

NEXTVIEW menu.

é Use the cursor in the up/down, left/right directions to select the date,

CHANNEL for the channel guide, THEME for the theme guide, OVERVIEW

for an overview of all the programmes which are marked as reminders or for recording, the programme guide page number or to enter the programme list.

Teletext guide

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 Inventory 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.

NEXTVIEW modes to sort and represent information

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.

About Easy Text

Easy Text considerably reduces the waiting time (on condition that the teletext broadcast of the particular TV channel is received for at least half a minute) by :

• 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.

Switch Teletext on and off

X key, under the door of the remote

control, repeatedly to select Language group 1 or 2.

Select a Teletext page

With the digit keys

A message appears when you have entered a non existent or incorrect page number. Page numbers beginning with 0 or 9 do not exist. Choose another number.

With the option line

Select with the colour keys, corresponding to the coloured options at the bottom of the screen, the desired subject.

27Tips & 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-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

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 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

MENU key and the

-/+ keys at the front of your TV.

• Have you selected the wrong menu? Press the

Ï key gain to exit from the

menu.

No solution

Tips

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.

Easy Link

Digital ‘intelligent’ ESI bus-system between TV and VCR (Scart connection required). Turns source selection and control into a one-button operation.

Easy Text

Teletext memory that automatically memorises Teletext pages and gives you instant access to them.

Euroconnector

A 21-pin connector system enabling you to simply connect various types of audio/video and computer equipment.

On-screen display of functions and facilities in a well-organised survey, which you can select using your remote control.

NEXTVIEW

NEXTVIEW is a new feature to assist the TV

and VCR user in selecting the programmes she or he likes to watch from a television programme guide on the screen. It enables the user to see a description of every programme, and mark interesting programmes to be reminded (auto TV on) or recorded (

NEXTVIEWLink video

recorder required).

NTSC

The broadcasting system used in the USA, Japan and parts of South America and Southeast-Asia.

Smart Picture and Sound controls

Keys on the remote control to select predefined picture and sound settings.

Sleeptimer
