When the VCR starts playing, the TV automatically turns on  
and the images from the EXT-2 terminal appear on the  
screen.  
I Pre-set download  
The VCR will automatically download the registered data on  
the TV channels from the TV. This means you do not need to  
set up the program channels on your VCR manually.  
The preset download function automatically begins when the  
initial setting is complete or whenever you carry out the AUTO  
PROGRAM or EDIT/MANUAL functions.  
When the VCR menu is operated, the TV automatically turns  
on and the images from the EXT-2 terminal appear on the  
screen.  
This function does not happen if your TVs main power is  
turned off. Set your TVs main power to on (standby mode).  
You can also carry out this function using your VCR controls.  
Note:  
When FEATURE NOT AVAILABLEis displayed:  
A T-V LINK compatible VCRmeans a JVC video  
cassette recorder with the T-V LINK logo, or with one of  
the following logos. However, these VCRs may support  
some or all of the features described earlier. For details,  
see your VCR instruction manual.

What You See Is What You Record”  
You can easily record to VCR the images that you are  
watching on the TV.  
For details, read the manual for your VCR.  
Use your VCR controls. VCR IS RECORDINGis displayed.  
In the following situations, the VCR will stop recording if  
the TV is turned off, if the TV channel or input is changed,  
or if the menu is displayed on the TV:  
when recording images from an external device connected  
to the TV (for example a camcorder)  
when recording a TV channel after it has been unscrambled  
on a decoder  
when recording a TV channel by using the TVs output  
because the VCRs own tuner cannot properly receive that  
channel  
You cannot carry out Direct Rec using your TVs control.  
Generally, the VCR cannot record a TV channel that it  
cannot receive properly on its own tuner, even if you can  
view that TV channel on the TV. However, some VCRs  
can record a TV channel by using the TVs output if that  
channel can be viewed on the TV. For details, see your  
VCR instruction manual.

an S-VHS VCR  
Connect the equipment to an EXT terminal (but not the  
EXT-1 terminal).  
You can choose between an S-VIDEO signal (Y/C signal) and  
a regular video signal (composite signal). For details of how  
to operate the equipment, see y (S-VIDEO input)on  
page 21.  
T-V LINK compatible VCR  
Be sure to connect the T-V LINK compatible VCR to the  
EXT-2 terminal. If not, the T-V LINK function will not work  
properly.  
When connecting a T-V LINK compatible VCR to the  
EXT-2 terminal, be sure to connect the decoder to the  
VCR. If not, the T-V LINK function may not work properly.  
After you have stored TV channels in the programme  
numbers (PR) list, set the DECODER (EXT-2) function for  
the programme number (PR) to ON to unscramble a  
scrambled TV channel. For details, see Using the  
DECODER (EXT-2) functionon page 30.  
Connecting headphones  
Connect the headphones with a stereo mini-jack (3.5mm  
diameter) to the headphone jack at the TV front panel.  
When you connect the headphones, the TV speakers go  
off.  
Video or sound signal output from  
the EXT-2 terminal  
You can change over the output of the video/sound signal  
from the EXT-2 terminal. This is useful when you want to dub  
the video/sound from another device onto the VCR connected  
to the EXT-2 terminal. For details on how to do this, see  
DUBBINGon page 22.  
TV output from the EXT-1 terminal  
The video/sound signal of a TV channel you are viewing is  
always output from the EXT-1 terminal.

over the TV output from the EXT-1 terminal.  
The video/sound signal from an EXT terminal cannot be  
output.  
Teletext programmes cannot be output.

Troubleshooting  
If a problem arises while you are using the TV, please read this troubleshooting guide carefully before you ask to have the TV  
repaired. You may be able to fix it easily by yourself. For example, if the mains plug is disconnected from the mains outlet, or the  
TV aerial has problems, you may think there is a problem with the TV itself.  
Important:  
This troubleshooting guide only covers problems whose causes are not easy to decide. If you have a question when you are  
operating a function, read the page(s) for that function carefully, not this troubleshooting guide.  
If you follow the advice in this troubleshooting guide without any success, unplug the mains plug and ask for your TV to be  
repaired. Do not attempt to repair the TV by yourself or to remove the rear cover of the TV.  
If you cannot turn on the TV  
Is the mains plug connected to the mains outlet?  
Is the power lamp lit? If not, press the main power button.  
Poor sound  
Have you adjusted BASS or TREBLE properly? If not, follow  
the description Sound adjustmenton page 20.  
When TV channel reception is poor, it can be hard to hear  
the stereo or bilingual sound. In this case, follow the  
description STEREO / IIIon page 20 to hear the sound  
more easily by changing it to a mono sound.  
No picture or no sound  
Have you chosen a TV channel with very poor reception? If  
so, the BLUE BACK function will be activated: the entire  
screen becomes blue, and the sound is muted. If you still  
want to view the TV channel, follow the description BLUE  
BACKon page 23 to try to change the BLUE BACK function  
setting to OFF.  
If the TV does not respond to the  
remote control.  
Have the batteries of the remote control worn out? Follow  
the description Putting batteries into the remote controlon  
page 4 and replace them with new batteries.  
Have you connected headphones to the TV?  
Connecting headphones to the TV turns off the TV speakers.  
Have you attempted to use the remote control from the sides  
or rear of the TV or from more than seven metres away from  
the TV? Use the remote control in the front of your TV or  
from less than seven metres away.  
Poor picture  
If noise (snow) totally blocks out the picture, there may be a  
problem with the aerial or aerial cable. Check the following  
to try to solve the problem:  
When you are viewing a teletext programme, you cannot  
Have the TV and aerial been connected properly?  
Has the aerial cable been damaged?  
Is the aerial pointing in the right direction?  
Is the aerial itself faulty?

ordinary TV programme, and then try operating the menus.  
button to return to the  
b
If the TV will not respond suddenly, press the main power  
button on the TV and turn off the main power. Press the  
main power button again to turn on the TV. If the TV returns  
to a normal state, it is not a failure.  
If the TV or aerial suffers interference from other equipment,  
stripes or noise may appear in the picture. Move any  
equipment such as an amplifier, personal computer, or a  
hair drier, that can cause interference away from your TV.  
Or try moving the TV. If the aerial suffers interference from  
a radio tower or high-voltage wire, please contact your local  
dealer.  
Other issues  
When the SLEEP TIMER function operates, the TV is  
automatically turned off. If the TV is turned off suddenly, try  
to press the  
(standby) button to turn on the TV once  
#
again. If the TV goes back to normal, there is no problem.  
If the TV suffers interference from signals reflecting from  
mountains or buildings, double-pictures (ghosting) will  
occur. Try to change the aerials direction or replace it with  
one with better directionality.  
When a wide screen signal (WSS) is included in the broadcast  
signal or the signal from an external device, or when the TV is  
receiving a control signal from an external device, the ZOOM  
mode will change automatically. When you want to return to

If you bring a magnetised device such as a speaker near to  
your TV, the picture may be warped or unnatural colors may  
appear at the corners of the screen. In this case, keep the  
device from your TV. If speakers cause this to happen, use  
magnetic-shielded speakers instead.  
Have the COLOUR and BRIGHT settings been adjusted  
properly? Follow the description Picture adjustmenton  
page 17 to try to adjust them properly.  
Videotaping teletext is not recommended because it may  
not record correctly.  
It takes a short time from the time an operation such as  
changing channels is performed until an image is displayed.  
This is not a malfunction. This is the time it takes for the  
image to stabilize before it can be displayed.  
When a white and bright still image (such as a white dress)  
is displayed on the screen, the white part may look as if it is  
coloured. This is unavoidable due to the nature of the picture  
tube itself, and not due to a TV failure. When the picture  
disappears from the screen, the unnatural colours will also  
disappear.  
The TV may make a crackling sound due to a sudden  
change in temperature. The picture or sound may be  
normal. If you hear crackling sounds frequently while you  
are viewing the TV, there may be other causes. As a  
precaution, ask your service technician to inspect it.  
When viewing images from commercially available video  
software products, or videos from videotapes which have  
been recorded improperly, the top of the image may be  
distorted. This is due to the condition of the video signal, and  
not because of malfunction.  
Touching the screen may cause you to feel a slight electric  
shock due to its static electricity. This is unavoidable due to  
the construction of the picture tube. It is not a problem with  
the TV. You can rest assured that this static discharge is not  
harmful.
