The EXT2 socket has audio, CVBS/S-VHS inputs and audio, CVBS outputs.
Video recorder
Carry out the connections shown opposite, using a good
quality euroconnector cable.
If your video recorder does not have a euroconnector socket, the
only connection possible is via the aerial cable.You will therefore
need to tune in your video recorder's test signal and assign it
programme number 0 (refer to manual store, p. 5).
To reproduce the video recorder picture, press 0.
Video recorder with decoder
EXT2
VCR
Connect the decoder to the second euroconnector socket
of the video recorder.You will then be able to record
scrambled transmissions.
Satellite receiver, decoder, CDV, games, etc.
Carry out the connections shown opposite.
Other equipment
To optimise picture quality, connect the equipment which
produces the RGB signals (digital decoder, games, Canal+,
etc.) to EXT1, and the equipment which produces the S-
VHS signals (S-VHS and Hi-8 video recorders, certain DVD
drives) to EXT2 and all other equipment to either EXT1
or EXT2.
(only available on certain versions)
Amplifier
To connect to a hi-fi system, use an audio connection cable
and connect the “L” and “R” outputs on theTV set to the
“AUDIO IN” “L” and “R” input on your hi-fi amplifier.
To select connected equipment
.
Press the n key to select EXT1, EXT2, S-VHS2 (S-VHS signals
from the EXT2 socket) and EXT3 for connections on the front panel.
Most equipment (decoder, video recorder) carries out the switching itself.

Glossary
RGB Signals :
These are 3 Red, Green and Blue video signals which directly drive the red, green and blue
emitters in the cathode ray tube. Using these signals provides better picture quality.
NICAM sound :
Process by which digital sound can be transmitted.
System :
Television pictures are not broadcast in the same way in all countries.There are different standards:
BG, DK, I, and L L’.The SYSTEM setting (p. 6) is used to select these different standards.This is not to
be confused with PAL or SECAM colour coding. Pal is used in most countries in Europe, Secam in
France, Russia and most African countries.The United States and Japan use a different system called
NTSC.
100Hz :
Conventional televisions (50 Hz) produce a visible image flicker.Thanks to 100 Hz technology, the
scanning frequency is doubled. It is visually more comfortable and the flickering effect is reduced.
16:9 :
Refers to the ration between the length and height of the screen.
Wide screen televisions have a ration of 16/9, conventional screenTV sets have a ration of 4/3.

Tips
Poor reception
Teletext
Are certain characters not displayed
The proximity of mountains or high buildings
may be responsible for ghost pictures, echoing
or shadows. In this case, try manually adjusting
your picture:see Fine Tuning (p.5) or modify the
orientation of the outside aerial.
Does your antenna enable you to receive
broadcasts in this frequency range (UHF or
VHF band)?
correctly? Check that the Country setting has
been positioned correctly (p.5).
Remote control
TheTV set does not react to the remote
control; the indicator on the set no longer
flashes when you use the remote control?
Replace the batteries.
In the event of difficult reception (snowy
picture) switch the Dynamic NR on the
Features menu to ON. (p. 6).
Standby
When you switch theTV set on it remains in
standby mode and the indication Locked is
displayed when you use the keys on theTV
set?
No picture
If the television does not switch on, please
press the standby key b (located on the
remote control) twice.
The Child Lock function is switched On (p. 7).
If the set receives no signal for 15 mins, it
automatically goes into standby mode.
In stand-by mode, yourTV consumes less than
5W depending on model.In order to be more
environmentally friendly, please use the on/off
(power) switch to turn the set off completely.
Have you connected the aerial socket properly?
Have you chosen the right system? (p. 5).
Poorly connected euroconnector cables or
aerial sockets are often the cause of picture or
sound problems (sometimes the connectors
can become half disconnected if theTV set is
moved or turned). Check all connections.
Still no results ?
Peripheral equipment gives a black and
white picture
If yourTV set breaks down, never attempt to
repair it yourself: contact your dealer's after-
sales service.
To play a video cassette, check that it has
been recorded under the same standard
(PAL, SECAM, NTSC) which can be replayed
by the video recorder.
Cleaning the set
Only use a clean, soft and lint-free cloth to
clean the screen and the casing of your set.
Do not use alcohol-based or solvent-based
products.
The remote control no longer works
Check that the mode selector on the side of
the remote control is set toTV.
No sound
If on certain channels you receive a picture
but no sound, this means that you do not
have the correctTV system. Modify the
System setting (p. 5).

Information for users in the UK (not applicable outside the UK)
Positioning theTV
Important
For the best results, choose a position where light
does not fall directly on the screen, and at some
distance away from radiators or other sources of
heat. Leave a space of at least 5 cm all around the
TV for ventilation, making sure that curtains,
cupboards etc. cannot obstruct the air flow through
the ventilation apertures.TheTV is intended for use
in a domestic environment only and should never be
operated or stored in excessively hot or humid
atmospheres.
Should it become necessary to replace the mains
fuse, this must be replaced with a fuse of the same
value as indicated on the plug.
1. Remove fuse cover and fuse.
2.The replacement fuse must comply with BS1362
and have the ASTA approval mark. If the fuse is
lost, make contact with your retailer in order to
verify the correct type.
3. Refit the fuse cover.
In order to maintain conformity to the EMC directive,
the mains plug on this product must not be removed.
General Points
Connecting the aerial
Please take note of the section entitled 'Tips' at the
end of this booklet.
The aerial should be connected to the socket
marked : at the back of the set.An inferior aerial
is likely to result in a poor, perhaps unstable picture
with ghost images and lack of contrast. Make-shift loft
or set-top aerials are often inadequate.Your dealer
will know from experience the most suitable type for
your locality.
Interference
The Department ofTrade and Industry operates a
Radio Interference Investigation Service to helpTV
licence holders improve reception of BBC and IBA
programmes where they are being spoilt by
interference.
Should you wish to use the set in conjunction with
other equipment, which connects to the aerial socket
such asTV games, or a video camera it is recommended
that these be connected via a combiner unit to avoid
repeated connection and disconnection of the aerial plug.
If your dealer cannot help, ask at a main Post Office
for the booklet "How to ImproveTelevision and
Radio Reception".
Mains connection
Before connecting theTV to the mains, check that the
mains supply voltage corresponds to the voltage
printed on the type plate on the rear panel of theTV. If
the mains voltage is different, consult your dealer.
Fitting the stand (if provided)
Use only the stand provided with the set, making
sure that the fixings are properly tightened.A
diagram showing how to assemble the stand is
packed with the stand. Never use a make-shift stand,
or legs fixed with woodscrews.
