Dependent on your speaker configuration, the TV automatically switches to the best surround sound mode when Auto Surround is switched On. When rear speakers are connected and selected, Dolby Pro Logic will be reproduced.When no rear speakers are connected, Dolby Virtual will be reproduced. Overruling this surround mode remains possible.

NEXTVIEW provider

Most broadcasters in Europe are offering teletext pages containing the days programme schedule.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.

IEW is a new way of presenting programme schedules and offers more

features than basic teletext.With

None as NEXTVIEW provider, the TV will capture all data from

the available TV channels which broadcast

NEXTVIEW. Broadcaster defined

menus will not be available. If you select a programme number of a TV channel stored in the favourite list as

NEX

TVIEW provider, the selected TV channel will provide NEXTVIEW data and additional info of its own broadcasts as well as from other (non selected) TV channels. Normally you will select as

NEXTVIEW

provider the TV channel that transmits most information in your language.You can make the best selection via info from TV announcements or from the newspapers.

Important: For a proper functioning of

NEXTVIEW, the first TV channel from the favourite list

should also broadcast the correct date and time via teletext. Please check at startup if the time and date are correct in the

NEXTVIEW screen.

Remark: Not all TV channels support

NEXTVIEW.

How to make use of

Logic without the need of having rear speakers connected or activated. The graphical representation of the rear loudspeakers is replaced by the symbol ®r. Select the level of

3D effect with the cursor left/right. If rear loudspeakers are

connected, they do not produce any signal since Dolby Virtual is intended for use with internal TV speakers and not available externally.

Dolby 3 Stereo (optimal with Dolby Surround broadcasting) The Dolby 3 Stereo sound signal is now distributed over the front left, front

right, and TV loudspeakers. If the rear loudspeakers are connected, they do not produce any signal.

Hall The special sound signal is distributed over the rear loudspeakers which

creates a hall effect from the rear. This mode is recommended when you wish to add surround sound to a broadcast which is not encoded Dolby Surround or to a mono signal.

Pro Logic (with Dolby Surround broadcasting) In addition to the TV left and right internal speakers, the rear surround

loudspeakers reproduce the Dolby Surround Pro Logic phantom sounds. This sound is always present in the movie or programme marked with G Dolby Surround.This mode is especially recommended for such programmes or movies.

In full external Pro Logic an external surround sound audio amplifier is used for front left/right and rear speakers surround sound, while the internal TV speakers produce the centre channel sound.

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-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 outside 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 a 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 ¬? Check if your speaker configuration corresponds with the selections made in the Setup menu, p. 7. E.g. is your amplifier switched on when you have 2 extra front speakers connected? No sound from the rear speakers or the centre speakers? Select an appropriate surround mode, according to the broadcasted sound signal or adjust the volume. See Surround Modes, p. 13.

Remote control

If your TV no longer responds to the remote control, the batteries may be exhausted. You can still use the keys at the front of your TV.

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

NEXTVIEW - No information

See Acquisition and updating of

NEXTVIEW

information, p. 21.

No solution

Switch your TV off and then on again once.

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.

DNR

Digital Noise Reduction. By encoding signals digitally in 100 Hz sets, it is possible to clean up picture noise.This is especially beneficial in poor signal areas and when viewing poor quality video tapes.

Dolby Surround Pro Logic

Literally wraps you in 4-channel sound. it brings your favourite movies to life with all the realism and impact of cinema sound as though you are part of the action.

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
