Connect Peripheral equipment

There is a wide range of audio and video equipment that can be connected
to your receiver.The following connection diagrams show you how to
connect them to the back or the front side of the receiver.

Note: in case of the monitor in a stand alone situation without the receiver box

connected, see the instr uctions with the monitor.

Note: Do not place your video recorder too close to the screen as some video
recorders may be susceptible for signals out of the display.Keep a minimum distance
of 0.5 m to the screen.

Connect the supplied aerial cables 1, 2 and, to obtain a better picture
quality, a 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 function.

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.
é 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. 6.

‘ Store the test signal under programme number 0 or between 90 and 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,p.8.
You can also connect your decoder directly to

EXTERNAL 1 or 2 with a

eurocable.

& 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.

é 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. 26.

Tips & Index

Poor Picture

• Have you selected the correct TV system?

• Is your monitor or house aerial located

too close to loudspeakers,non-ear thed
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.

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

• Are brightness and contrast out of
adjustment ? Adjust the picture settings,
see p.13.

• Sometimes poor picture quality is possible
when having activated a S-VHS camera or
camcorder connected to the front side of
your receiver 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 or no sound

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

• Has the child lock (p.15) been switched
off ?

• Is your PC switched on?

• Has the Centre mode been switched off?

See Install TV Setup,Centre Mode, p. 9, or
press the white colour key on the remote
control.

• 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.

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.

Remote control

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

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

Menu

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

No stable or not synchronised VGA
picture

Check if you have selected the correct VGA
mode in your PC (640x480,640x400,
640x350,856x480, 800x450, MAC II, SVGA,
XGA).

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.

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)
