Tips

Poor Picture

•Have you selected the correct TV system?

• Is your monitor 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.

• Check if you have entered the correct frequency. See Installation, p. 6.

•Are brightness and contrast out of adjustment? Select Factory settings in the Setup, General menu, p. 8 or press the

SMART a key repeatedly.

No picture or no sound

•Are the supplied cables connected properly? (The aerial cable to the TV receiver box, the other aerial to your VCR, the VGA cables to the display, the power cables.)

• Has the childlock (p.16) been switched off?

• Is your PC switched on?

• Has the Centre mode been switched off?

• Do you see a black screen and the indicator in front of the monitor lights up green, this means that the display mode is not supported. Switch your VGA-source to a correct mode.

• In case of weak or bad signal, consult your dealer.

Remote control

• If your monitor no longer responds to the remote control, the batteries may be exhausted.

•You can still use the MENU keys at the front of your receiver.

Have you selected the wrong menu? Press the same key again to exit from the menu.

Control of peripheral equipment

The infrared signals of the screen may influence the reception sensibility of other peripherals. Solution: replace the batteries of the remote control or change position of other equipment. E.g. keep away a wireless headphone from within a radius of 1.5 m.

TV-Guide - Displayed time is wrong

The broadcaster on programme number one does not transmit the correct local date and time. Use Reshuffle in the INSTALLATION menu to place another broadcaster on programme number one.

No stable or not synchronised VGA picture

Check if you have selected the correct VGA mode in your PC. See the separate instruction manual with the monitor.

If your problem is not solved:

Switch both your monitor and your receiver off and then on again.

Never attempt to repair a defective monitor or receiver yourself.

Check with your dealer or call a TV technician.
