Tips
Care of the screen Clean the TV with a slightly damp soft cloth. Do not use abrasive solvent as it can
damage the TV screen.
Poor Picture
• Have you selected the correct TV system?
• Is your TV or house aerial located too close to loudspeakers, non-earthed audio
equipment or neon lights, etc.?
• Mountains or high buildings can cause double pictures or ghost images.
Sometimes you can improve the picture quality by changing the direction of the
aerial.
• Is the picture or teletext unrecognisable? Check if you have entered the correct
frequency. See Installation, p. 6.
• Are brightness, sharpness and contrast out of adjustment? Select Factory
settings in the Setup, General menu, p. 8.
• Sometimes poor picture quality is possible when having activated an S-VHS
camera or camcorder connected to the right side of your TV and another
peripheral is connected to EXT 1, 2 or 3 at the same time. In this case switch
off one of the other peripherals.
No picture
No sound
• Is the aerial connected properly?
• Are the plugs tightly connected in the aerial socket?
• Is the aerial cable in good condition and does it have suitable plugs?
• Are the connection facilities to a possible second TV in good condition? If in
doubt, consult your dealer.
• No sound on any channel? Check the volume isn’t at minimum.
• Is the sound interrupted with the mute key ¬?
No solution found Switch your TV off and then on again once. Never attempt to repair a defective
for your picture or TV yourself. Check with your dealer or call a TV technician.
