Tips

Image Persistence

Please note that ghosting may occur while displaying
a persistent image. LCD TVs’ image persistence may
disappear after a short time. Try turning off the TV for
a while. To avoid this, do not leave the screen in still
picture for extended periods.

No Power

If your TV system has no power, please check the
main power cable and connection to the mains
socket outlet.

Poor Picture

Have you selected the correct TV system? Is your TV
set or house aerial located too close to a 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. Please retune the
channels. The picture quality may degrade when two
peripherals are connected to the TV at the same time.
In such a case, disconnect one of the peripherals.

No Picture

Is the aerial connected properly? Are the plugs
connected tightly to the aerial socket? Is the aerial
cable damaged? Are suitable plugs used to connect
the aerial? If you are in doubt, consult your dealer.

No Picture means that your TV is not receiving a
transmission. Have you selected the correct button on
the remote control? Try once more. Also make sure
the correct input source has been selected.

Sound

You can not hear any sound. Did you perhaps interrupt
the sound, pressing the “ ” button?

Sound is coming from only one of the speakers. Is the
balance set to one extreme? See Sound Menu .

Remote Control

Your TV no longer responds to the remote control.
Perhaps the batteries are exhausted. If so you can still
use the local buttons at the bottom of the TV.

Input Sources

If you cannot select an input source, it is possible that
no device is connected.

Check the A V cables and connections if you have tried
to connect a device.
