Connecting other equipment
Depending on the model, your television is fitted with 1 or 2 euroconnector
sockets
The EXT1 socket has audio and video inputs/outputs and RGB inputs.
The EXT2 socket (formodels with 2 euroconnector sockets) has S-VHS inputs.
Video recorder
If you have a video recorder ... and a decoder
If your video recorder does not have a euroconnector socket (or if this is
already being used by another piece of equipment), the only possible
connection is via the aerial socket. Your video recorder is then considered a
TV channel by your TV set. You must tune into your video recorder’s test
signal and assign it the channel number 0. Refer to manual store p. 5.
To reproduce the video recorder picture, press the key (on some video
recorders, the ”TV/VIDEO” or ”AV” key must be pressed).
Refer to the operating instructions of your video recorder for further information on
the test signal (the video recorder must be fitted with an HF modulator).
Other equipment
(camcorder, decoder, CDV/CDI, games, satellite receiver, etc.)
For models with 2 euroconnector sockets, first connect to EXT2 equipment
producing S-VHS signals (video recorder / S-VHS or Hi-8 camcorder).
To reproduce the picture of the equipment connected
4Press the key to select EXT1 (and EXT2 or EXT2 Y/C: for models with
2 euroconnector sockets).
Most equipment (decoder, video recorder, etc.) carries out the switch over automatically.

16
Front connections
Some models have connections on the front of the TV set Audio/Video/
S-VHS (depending on version, they may be concealed by a cover which is
underneath, above or to one side of the picture tube : Press the part of the
cover marked 4to open it).
4Use the key to select EXT2 (VHS, 8mm) or EXT2 Y/C (S-VHS, Hi-8).
Attention, if a device is connected to EXT2 (except for VCR), it is preferable to switch
it off while you use the front connection S-VHS to get the best picture result.
To copy your recordings:
Make one of the following connections, then:
4Select the EXT1 socket ( key) and set the video recorder to record via the
euroconnector socket (see its manual).
Amplifier (only on models with 2 euroconnector sockets)
Use an audio connection cable and connect the Psockets ”L” and ”R”
on the television to ”AUDIO IN” inputs ”L” and ”R” on the amplifier.
Headphones
The headphone socket is on the front of theTV set (depending onversion, itmay be
concealed by a cover which is underneath, above or to one sideof the picture tube).
When the headphones are connected, the sound from the TV set is
automatically muted. Use the key to adjust the volume.
The headphone impedance must be between 8 and 600 ohms.

17
Tips
Poor picture quality
The aerial picks up interference or is not properly oriented with respectto the transmitter.
The proximity of mountains or high buildings may be responsible for ghost pictures,
echoes or shadows. If this is the case, change the orientation of the outside aerial.
Check that the TV channel is tuned in correctly, or try using fine tuning:
see ”fine tuning” (p. 5).
Is the picture poorly adjusted ? Press the green key or make the adjustment
manually (p. 10). Is the picture too blue or too red? Adjust the TINT (p. 10).
For S-VHS/Hi-8 signals,if you select EXT2 instead of EXT2 Y/C, you get ablack and
white picture.
No picture
Are you sure you have connected the aerial socket?
Does your aerial enable you to receive broadcasts in this frequency range?
Have you selected the right equipment with the remote control key .
A poorly connected euroconnector or aerial socket is often the cause of picture or
sound problems (cables can easily be half pulled out when the television is moved
or repositioned). Check all connections and make sure that the cables are not faulty.
No sound
If some TV channels have a picture but no sound, it is because you have not selected
the right TV system. Modify the SYSTEM adjustment (p.5).
Has the mute key been pressed? Are the headphones still connected?
Only one loudspeaker is working? Check the balance (see SOUND menu, p. 10).
Remote control
The TV set doesn’t respond to the remote control; the orange indicator on the TV set
doesn’t flash when you use the remote control? Change the batteries.
Menu
Are the menus displayed in a foreign language? Change the language (p. 3).
You can’t call up the INSTALLATION menu? If you have selected an EXT socket,
it is not possible to call up this menu: return to a TV channel.
Standby
When you switch on the TV set it remains on standby and CHILDLOCK is displayed
when you use the keys on the TV set. The CHILDLOCK function is active (p. 11).
If the aerial does not receive a signal for more than 15 minutes (end of broadcast), the
TV set automatically switches to standby.
To save energy and preserve optimum picture quality, you are advised to switch off your
television using the Abutton on the front of the TV set.

Glossary
EXT: Designates the euroconnectors on the back of the TV set.
Menu: List of words displayed, when requested, on the screen.
Each word corresponds to an adjustment or a function of the television.
RGB: This refers to the three video signals Red, Green and Blue which directly
drive the three emitters in the cathode ray tube.
Using these signals results in better picture quality.
S-VHS signals: Two separate video signals Y/C (luminance / chrominance) from
the S-VHS and Hi-8 recording standards. The luminance signals (black and
white) and chrominance signals (colour) are recorded on the tape separately. This
gives better quality than with normal video (VHS and 8 mm), where
the Y/C signals are combined to give only one video signal.
STEREO sound: The sound is said to be stereo when the left and right channels
are transmitted separately.
MONO sound: The sound is mono when only one channel is transmitted.
NICAM sound: Process by which digital (Compact Disc quality) sound can be
transmitted.
TV system :
Television pictures are not transmitted in the same way in all countries. There
are different norms : BG, DK, I and L, L’ (France). The EUROPE adjustment of
the SYSTEM choice (p. 5) gives an automatic detection, except in certain
specific cases of bad reception : then use EUR.W (BG), EUR. E (DK) or
UK (I) adjustment.
VCR: Video Cassette Recorder.
