The AUTO PROGRAM menu appears and the TV
channels you receive are automatically stored in the
programme numbers list (PR).
Note:
• For UK model (AV28CT1EK):
BBC1, BBC2, ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5 are
automatically set to the programme numbers PR1 to
PR5.
If the TV doesn't receive one of these TV channels,
that programme number (PR) will not be set.
Programme number PR6 is not normally set.
• For Ireland model (AV28CT1EI):
If your TV can detect the TV channel name from the
TV channel broadcast signal, the TV channel name
is assigned to the programme number (PR) to which
the TV channel has been set.
However, which TV channels are set to which
programme numbers (PR) will depend on the area in
which you live.
• If a TV channel you want to view is not set to a
programme number (PR), you can set it using the
MANUAL function. For details, see “EDIT/MANUAL”
on page 26.
• The AUTO PROGRAM function does not set the
programme number PR 0 (AV) for your video
cassette recorder. You will need to set this using the
MANUAL function.
• In some areas you may get TV reception from more
than one transmitter, for example different ITV
regions. In this case each TV channel could be set
twice. If this happens, the first set of channels will
have the stronger signal. If you want to delete the
second set of channels, you will have to do it
manually (see page 28).
To cancel the AUTO PROGRAM function:

When you have a T-V LINK compatible VCR connected to the
EXT-2 Terminal on the TV, it is easier to set up the VCR and
to view videos. T-V LINK uses the following features:
I TV auto power on/VCR
image view
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 TV’s main power is
turned off. Set your TV’s main power to on (standby mode).
You can also carry out this function using your VCR controls.
Note:
When “FEATURE NOT AVAILABLE” is displayed:
• A “T-V LINK compatible VCR” means 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.
If “FEATURE NOT AVAILABLE” is displayed, the download
was not performed correctly. Before trying to download again,
check that:

I Direct Rec
“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 RECORDING” is 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 TV’s output
because the VCR’s own tuner cannot properly receive that
channel
• You cannot carry out Direct Rec using your TV’s 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 TV’s 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) function” on 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
“DUBBING” on 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.
• Changing over a programme number (PR) also changes
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 adjustment” on 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 / I•II” on 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
BACK” on 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 control” on
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?
operate the menus. Press the
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 aerial’s 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

solve the trouble.

• 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 adjustment” on
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.
