Tips  
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 Tune (p. 6) or modify the orientation of the outside aerial. If you are using an  
indoor aerial, reception may be difficult in certain conditions.You can improve  
reception by rotating the aerial. If the reception remains poor, you will need to  
use an external aerial.  
No picture  
Have you connected the aerial socket properly? Have you chosen the right  
system? (p. 6). 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 set is moved or turned). Check all connections.  
Digital distortion  
No sound  
The low quality of some digital picture material may be the cause of digital image  
distortion. In this case select the Soft setting using the Smart picture key a on  
the remote control.  
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. 6).  
The amplifier connected to the set does not deliver any sound? Check that you  
have not confused the audio output with the audio input.  
PC and PIP modes Check that you have configured the computer on a compatible display resolution  
don’t work ?  
(see p. 13).  
Remote control  
The set does not react to the remote control; the indicator on the set no longer  
flashes when you use the remote control? Replace the battery.  
Standby  
If the set receives no signal for 15 mins, it automatically goes into standby mode.  
To save power, your set is fitted with components that give it a very low power  
consumption when in standby mode (less than 1 W).  
Cleaning the set  
Still no results?  
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.  
Disconnect the mains plug of the set for 30 seconds then reconnect it.  
If your set breaks down, never attempt to repair it yourself: contact your dealer's  
after-sales service.  
Glossary  
DVI (DigitalVisual Interface):A digital interface  
standard created by the Digital Display Working  
Group (DDWG) to convert analog signals into  
digital signals to accommodate both analog and  
digital monitors.  
This provides better picture quality than with  
standard video (VHS and 8 mm) where theY/C  
signals are combined to provide only one video  
signal.  
NICAM sound: Process by which digital sound  
VGA (Video Graphics Array): a common standard  
can be transmitted.  
graphics display system for PCs.  
System: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. 5) 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 inputs  
EXT1 and EXT2 are used to read NTSC  
coded recordings.  
RGB signals:These are the three video signals, Red  
Green Blue, which make up the picture.  
Using these signals improves picture quality.  
S-VHS Signals:These are 2 separateY/C video  
signals from the S-VHS and Hi-8 recording  
standards.The luminance signalsY (black and  
white) and chrominance signals C (colour) are  
recorded separately on the tape.
