Note:
• When two CH/CC numbers correspond to one Channel number, choose either one according to the current COUNTRY
setting. When the COUNTRY setting is other than FRANCE, choose a two-digit CH/CC number. When the COUNTRY setting
is FRANCE, choose a three-digit CH/CC number.
• Find the CH/CC number (CC110 to CC161) corresponding to the TV channel (SECAM-L system) from a French cable TV
station, based on the broadcast frequency of the TV channel. When you do not know the broadcast frequency, please contact
the cable TV station.
• The CH/CC numbers of CH102-CH169 and CC110-CC161 correspond to the TV channels being broadcast by a SECAM-L
system. The other CH/CC numbers correspond to the TV channels being broadcast by a method other than a SECAM-L
system.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If a problem arises while you are using the TV, please read this “Troubleshooting” well before you request having the TV
repaired. You may be able to fix it easily by yourself. For example, if the AC plug is disconnected from the AC 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 cause are not easy to determine. If a question arise when you are
operating a function, read the page(s) corresponding to the operation of the function well, not this Troubleshooting guide.
• After you have followed the Troubleshooting description or the operating description of the functions concerned without any
success, remove the AC plug from the AC outlet and request a repair of your TV. Do not attempt to repair the TV by yourself
or remove the rear cover of the TV.
• 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
were coloured. It is a phenomenon unavoidable due to the
nature of the picture tube itself, and not due to a TV failure.
If you cannot turn on the TV
• Is the AC plug connected to the AC outlet?
• Is the Power lamp lit? If not, press the Main power button.
When the picture disappears from the screen, the
unnatural colours will also disappear.
No picture/No sound
• 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.
• Have you chosen a TV channel whose reception is
extremely bad? In this case, the BLUE BACK function will
be activated, the entire screen becomes blue, and the
sound is muted. In spite of this, if you want to view the TV
channel, follow the description “BLUE BACK” on page 25
to try to change the BLUE BACK function setting to OFF.
• Have you connected the headphones to the TV?
Connecting the headphones to the TV causes sounds not
to be issued from the TV speakers.
Poor sound
• Have you adjusted BASS or TREBLE properly? If not,
follow the description “Sound Adjustment” on page 18 to try
to adjust them properly.
• Have you set the SPEAKER function to OFF? Follow the
description “SPEAKER” on page 18 to confirm the
SPEAKER function setting to try to solve the problem.
• If the SYSTEM setting for a TV channel is incorrect, it may
prevent the sound from being issued. Follow the
• When the 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 18 to hear the sound
more easily by changing it to a mono sound.
description “EDIT/MANUAL” on page 28 to use the
MANUAL function to try to change the SYSTEM setting.
Operation disabled
• Have the batteries of the remote control become
exhausted? Follow the description “Putting Batteries into
the Remote Control” on page 2 and replace them with new
batteries to try to solve the problem.
Poor picture
• If noise totally obscures the picture (snow), the aerial or
aerial cable may have trouble. Check the following to try to
solve the trouble:
• Have you attempted to use the remote control at the sides
or rear of the TV or at a location more than seven meters
apart from the TV location? Operate the remote control in
the front of your TV or a location less than seven meters
from your TV to try to solve the problem.
Has the TV and aerial been connected properly?
Has the aerial cable been damaged?
Is the aerial pointed to the right direction?
Is the aerial itself faulty?
• If the TV or aerial receives interference from the other
devices, stripes or noise may appear in the picture. Move
such devices as an amplifier, personal computer, or a hair
drier that can cause interference away from your TV, or try
changing its location. If the aerial suffers interference from
a radio tower or high-voltage wire, please contact your
local dealer.
• If the TV receives interference from signal reflecting from
mountains or building, double-pictures (ghosting) will
occur. Try to change the aerial’s direction or replace the
antenna with the one with better directionality.
• Are your COLOUR SYSTEM settings for the TV channels
correct? Follow the description “COLOUR SYSTEM” on
page 17 to try to solve the trouble.
• When you are viewing a teletext programme, you cannot
operate the menus. Press the
teletext programme to the ordinary TV programme to try
operating the menus.
button to return the
b
• If the TV operation becomes disabled suddenly, press the
Main power button on the TV and turn off the main power.
Try to press the Main power button again to turn on the
main power. If the TV returns to a normal state, it is not a
failure.
• Use the HEADPHONE function to adjust the volume of the
headphones. For details, refer to “HEADPHONE” on
page 19.
• Has COLOUR or BRIGHT been controlled properly?
Follow the description “Picture Adjustment” on page 15 to
try to adjust them properly.
• Videotaping teletext is not recommended because it may
not record correctly.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Other concerns
• 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. At this time, if the TV resumes a normal state, there
is no problem.
• When a WSS signal 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 the previous ZOOM mode, press the
button to choose the ZOOM mode again.
c
• If you bring a magnetised device such as a speaker near to
your TV, a picture may be warped or unnatural colors
appear at the corners of the screen. In this case, keep the
device apart from your TV. If the speakers causes such
phenomena, use the magnetic-shielded speakers instead.
• A picture may be tited due to the influence of the earth’s
magnetism. In this case, use the “PICTURE TILT” on
page 17 to complete the tilt.
• It takes a short period of 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
required for the image to stabilize before it can be
displayed.
• The TV may emit a crackling sound due to a sudden
change in temperature. It does not matter if a picture or
sound does not show any abnormality. If you hear crackling
sounds frequently while you are viewing the TV, other
causes may be assumed. For precautionary purposes,
request your service technician to inspect it.
• Touching the screen may cause you feel a slight electric
shock due to its static electricity. It is an unavoidable
phenomenon due to the construction of the picture tube. It
is not a problem with the TV. You can rest assured that this
static discharge does not have harmful influence over the
human body.
