Tips
Care of the Screen
Clean the screen with a slightly damp, soft cloth. o not use
abrasive solvents as they may damage the TV screen coating
layer.
Poor Picture
Have you selected the correct TV system? Is your TV set or
house aerial located too close to the 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 quali-
ty by changing the direction of the aerial.
The picture quality may degrade when two peripherals are
connected to the TV at the same time. In such a case, dis-
connect 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.
N Picture means that your TV is not receiving any trans-
mission. Have you pressed the correct buttons on the remote
control? Try once more.
Sound
Sound is coming from only one of the speakers. Is the bal-
ance set to one direction extreme? See SOUND menu.
emote Control
Your TV no longer responds to the remote control. Press the
PICTURE button on the remote control once more. Perhaps
the batteries are exhausted. If so you can still use the local
buttons at the front of your TV.
Have you selected the wrong menu? Press PICTURE button
to return to TV mode or press MENU button to return to the
previous menu.
No solution
Switch your TV set off and on. If this does not work, call the
service personnel; never attempt to repair it yourself.
