PICTURE FEATURES

• When a progressive-scanning picture is

being displayed, “DIGITAL VNR”

cannot be selected.

• The DIGITAL VNR function does not

work for progressive-scanning pictures.

„ Super DigiPure

The Super DigiPure function uses the latest

in digital technology to give you a natural-

looking picture. The Super DigiPure function

includes the following two functions.

„ DIGITAL VNR

The DIGITAL VNR function cuts down the

amount of ‘noise’ (‘snow’ or interference) in

the original picture.

DigiPure function:

This function helps to create a natural-looking

picture by eliminating unnecessary edges

from high-contrast and crisp images. For

images with low-contrast, edges are added to

produce a sharper, more detailed picture.

You can choose from the three DigiPure

function settings of AUTO, MIN and MAX.

• If you set the DigiPure effect too high on

a low-quality picture that contains a lot of

noise, this may actually make the noise

worse. We recommend you use the

AUTO setting if you can.

You can choose from the three DIGITAL

VNR function settings of AUTO, MIN and

MAX.

AUTO:

The TV will automatically adjust the level of

the DIGITAL VNR effect to match the

amount of noise in the picture, giving you the

best possible picture.

• If you set the DIGITAL VNR effect too

high it can make the picture less sharp. It

is recommended to use the AUTO setting

if you can.

Picture motion compensation

function:

This function displays fast-moving pictures

(for example, the players or ball in a football

game) more smoothly and naturally on the

screen.

• The effect level of the picture motion

compensation function cannot be

changed. The effect level is the same no

matter which of the AUTO, MIN or MAX

settings is used.

• AUTO cannot be chosen when you are

watching the EXT-4 picture.

MIN:

The level of the DIGITAL VNR effect is set

to the minimum. If you set the DIGITAL

VNR function to AUTO but feel that the

sharpness of the original picture has not been

reproduced fully, change the setting from

AUTO to MIN.

• The MIN setting is not suitable for low-

quality pictures which contain a lot of

noise.

quality pictures which contain very little

noise.

• Pay attention to the positive (+) and

negative (-) polarities when connecting

surround speakers to your TV.

• For the best effect, position the

surround speakers at least 1 metre

above the heads of seated viewers.

Front speaker system

(Front L/R speakers 2 and

amplifier 3):

You can use your hi-fi audio system

speakers instead of the TV speakers.

Back of the TV

Subwoofer system

(Subwoofer and amplifier 5):

Using the subwoofer system improves the

playing performance of low sounds.

• It is particularly effective with the low

frequency effects (LFE) included in

5.1-channel Dolby Digital surround

sound.

• When a front speaker system and/or

subwoofer system is connected, listen

to the sound from the connected

equipment. Depending on the settings,

„ Cautions when fitting the woofer

unit

• Check that the woofer unit is fitted

correctly on the top of the TV.

• Do not use excessive force when inserting

the connector into the woofer terminal.

Use of excessive force may damage the

connector.

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 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.

• 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.

• Are your COLOUR SYSTEM settings

correct? Follow the description

„ 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.

„ 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 39 to change the BLUE

BACK function setting to OFF.

• Have you set the SPEAKER function to

OFF? Follow the description

“SPEAKER” on page 27 to check the

“COLOUR SYSTEM” on page 25 to try

to solve the trouble.

SPEAKER function setting.

• Have the COLOUR and BRIGHT settings

been adjusted properly? Follow the

description “Picture Adjustment” on

page 23 to try to adjust them properly.

• Videotaping teletext is not recommended

because it may not record correctly.

• 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.

• 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. There is

nothing wrong with the TV.

If SPEAKER is not displayed, set to

SURROUND OFF with the SURROUND

FEATURES menu and display SOUND

SETTING again.

„ 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:

–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?

Troubleshooting

• If you bring magnetised equipment such

as a speaker near to your TV, the picture

may be warped or unnatural colours may

appear at the corners of the screen. In this

case, keep the equipment away from your

TV. If speakers cause this to happen, use

magnetically-shielded speakers instead.

• A picture may be tilted due to the earth’s

magnetic field. If so, use the “PICTURE

TILT” on page 26 to correct 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 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.

• 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.

• In the twin pictures mode the sub-picture

may disappear when the external device is

operated. If this happens, press the P

button and display the sub-picture again.

• The headphone volume is adjusted with

the “HEADPHONE” menu. It cannot be

adjusted with the 5 buttons or r

(volume) q buttons.

„ Poor sound

• Have you adjusted BASS or TREBLE

properly? If not, follow the description

“Sound Adjustment” on page 27.

• When TV channel reception is poor, it can

be hard to hear stereo or bilingual sound.

In this case, follow the description

“STEREO / I • II” on page 27 to hear the

sound more easily by changing it to a

mono sound.

„ If the TV does not respond to the

remote control

• Have the batteries of the remote control

worn out? Follow the description “Putting

the batteries into the Remote control” on

page 6 and replace them with new

batteries.

• 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.

• When you are viewing a teletext

programme, you cannot operate the

menus. Press the b button to return to

the ordinary TV programme, and then try

operating the menus.

• If the TV suddenly stops responding,

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.

„ Other issues

• When the SLEEP TIMER function

operates, the TV is automatically turned

off. If the TV suddenly turns off, try to

press the # (standby) button to turn on

the TV once again. If the TV goes back to

normal, there is no problem.

• When the TV is receiving a wide-screen

signal (WSS) or a signal from an external

device affecting the screen size, the

ZOOM mode automatically changes.

When you want to resume the previous

ZOOM mode, press the c button

again.

• When TV SPEAKER in the

“HEADPHONE” menu is ON, even if the

headphones are connected, sound is

emitted from the TV speaker. When you

do not want to emit sound from the TV

speaker, turn the setting OFF.
