Poor reception
The proximity of mountains or high buildings
may be responsible for ghost pictures, echoing
or shadows. In this case, try manually adjusting
your picture: see Fine Tuning (p.5) or modify
the orientation of the outside aerial.
Does your antenna enable you to receive
broadcasts in this frequency range (UHF or
VHF band)?
In the event of difficult reception (snowy
picture) switch the NR on the Options
menu to ON. (p. 6).
No picture
If the television does not switch on, please
press the standby key (S) (located on the
remote control) twice.
Have you connected the aerial socket
properly?
Have you chosen the right system? (p. 5).
Poorly connected euroconnector cables or
aerial sockets are often the cause of picture
or sound problems (sometimes the
connectors can become half disconnected if
the TV set is moved or turned). Check all
Peripheral equipment gives a black and
white picture
To play a video cassette, check that it has
been recorded under the same standard (PAL,
SECAM, NTSC) which can be replayed by the
video recorder.
The remote control no longer works.
Check that the mode selector on the side of
the remote control is set to TV.
No sound
If on certain channels you receive a picture
but no sound, this means that you do not have
the correct TV system. Modify the System
setting (p. 5).
Are certain characters not displayed
correctly? Check that the Country setting
has been positioned correctly (p.5).
Remote control
The TV set does not react to the remote
control; the indicator on the set no longer
flashes when you use the remote control?
Replace the batteries.
Standby
When you switch the TV set on it remains in
standby mode and the indication Locked is
displayed when you use the keys on the TV set?
The Child Lock function is switched On (p. 7).

in standby mode (less than 3 W).
Still no results?
If your TV set breaks down, never attempt to
repair it yourself: contact your dealer's after¬
sales service.
Cleaning the set
Only use a clean, soft and lint-free cloth to
clean the screen and the casing of your set.
Do not use alcohol-based or solvent-based
products.

Television pictures are not broadcast in the same way in all countries.There are different standards:
BG, DK, I, and L L’.The SYSTEM setting (p. 6) is used to select these different standards.This is not to
be confused with PAL or SECAM colour coding. Pal is used in most countries in Europe, Secam in
France, Russia and most African countries.The United States and Japan use a different system called
NTSC.The inputs EXT1 and EXT2 are used to read NTSC coded recordings.

IMPORTANT
Information for users in the UK (not applicable outside the uk)
Positioning the TV
For the best results, choose a position where light does not fall directly on the screen, and at
some distance away from radiators or other sources of heat. Leave a space of at least 5 cm all
around the TV for ventilation, making sure that curtains, cupboards etc. cannot obstruct the air
flow through the ventilation apertures.
The TV is intended for use in a domestic environment only and should never be operated or
stored in excessively hot or humid atmospheres.
General Points
Please take note of the section entitled 'Tips' at the end of this booklet.
Interference
The Department ofTrade and Industry operates a Radio Interference Investigation Service to
help TV licence holders improve reception of BBC and IBA programmes where they are being
spoilt by interference.
If your dealer cannot help, ask at a main Post Office for the booklet "How to Improve Television
and Radio Reception".
Mains connection
Before connecting the TV to the mains, check that the mains supply voltage corresponds to the
voltage printed on the type plate on the rear panel of the TV. If the mains voltage is different,
consult your dealer.
Important
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug.To change a fuse in this type of
plug proceed as follows:
1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2. Fit new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A.A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
3. Refit the fuse cover.
In order to maintain conformity to the EMC directive, the mains plug on this product must not
be removed.
Connecting the aerial
The aerial should be connected to the socket marked nr at the back of the set. An inferior
aerial is likely to result in a poor, perhaps unstable picture with ghost images and lack of contrast.
Make-shift loft or set-top aerials are often inadequate.Your dealer will know from experience the most
suitable type for your locality.
Should you wish to use the set in conjunction with other equipment, which connects to the aerial
socket such as TV games, or a video camera it is recommended that these be connected via a
combiner unit to avoid repeated connection and disconnection of the aerial plug.
Fitting the stand (if provided)
Use only the stand provided with the set, making sure that the fixings are properly tightened. A
diagram showing how to assemble the stand is packed with the stand.
Never use a make-shift stand, or legs fixed with woodscrews.
