eurocable 3 as shown opposite.

If your video recorder is provided with the EasyLink function, the eurocable supplied with it, should be connected to

EXTERNAL 2 to benefit of the EasyLink functionality.

Only if you do not connect the eurocable 3, you have to do the following :

Search for and store the test signal of the video recorder

• Unplug the aerial cable 1 from the aerial socket x of your video recorder.

• Switch on your TV and put the video recorder on the test signal. (See the

handbook for your video recorder.)

• Search for the test signal of your video recorder in the same way as you

searched for and stored the TV signals. See Installation, Searching for and storing TV channels, Manual Installation, p. 5.

• Store the test signal either under programme number 0 or between 50 an 99.

• Replace the aerial cable in the aerial socket x of your video recorder after

you have stored the test signal.

Decoder and video recorder

• Connect a eurocable 4 to your decoder and to the special euroconnector of

your video recorder. See also the video recorder handbook. See Define Decoder/Descrambler prog. numbers as well, p. 7. You can also connect your decoder directly to

EXTERNAL 1 with a eurocable

or with an aerial cable to the aerial socket x of your TV.

Video recorder and other peripherals (except CD-i/Photo CD)

• Connect the aerial cables 1, 2 and 3 as shown opposite. Better picture

quality can be obtained if you also connect eurocable 5 to

EXTERNAL 2 and a

eurocable 4 to

EXTERNAL 1 or 3.

• Look for the test signal of your peripheral in the same way as you do for a

video recorder. When a video recorder is connected to

EXTERNAL 1 you can only record a

programme from your TV. Only when a video recorder is connected to

EXTERNAL 2 it is possible to

record a programme from your TV as well as from other connected equipment. See Record with your video recorder, p. 18.

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 ? Press the s key. Sometimes poor picture quality is possible when having activated a 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 picture means that the selected peripheral equipment is not transmitting a picture. Has the child lock been switched off ? (p. 11)

Remote control

If your TV no longer responds to the remote control, the batteries may be dead. You can still use the Menu keys and the

-/+ keys at the front of your TV.

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

No solution

Switch your TV off and then on again.

Never attempt to repair a defective TV yourself.

Check with your dealer or call a TV technician.

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 done within seconds.

Child Lock

Feature to prevent children from viewing unwanted channels.

DNR

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

Easy Link

Digital ‘intelligent’ ESI bus-system between audio components in HiFi systems and 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-pins connector system enabling you to simply connect various types of audio/video and computer equipment.

Incredible sound

Feature to enrich the sound performance of your TV set or audio equipment. It enhances the stereo effect by giving the impression that the speakers are positioned much wider apart than they actually are.

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

NTSC

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

Smart Controls

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

Sleeptimer

Function with which you can set a time period after which the TV should switch itself off to standby.

Picture Freeze

TV mode which allows you to “freeze” a certain image in order to study a specific detail at ease, e.g. to make notes of certain programme information like phone numbers.
