SUBTITLE ZOOM

This mode is used to display 4:3 pictures using the full surface of the screen leaving the sub-titles visible. With analogue programs, use the ⬆ keys to increase or decrease the section at the bottom of the picture.

SUPERWIDE

This mode is used to display 4:3 pictures using the full surface of the screen by enlarging the sides of the picture. With analogue programs, the ⏻ keys allow you to move the image up or down.

WIDE SCREEN

This mode restores the correct proportions of pictures transmitted in 16:9 using full screen display.

Note: If you display a 4:3 picture in thid mode, it will be enlarged horizontally.

Connecting peripheral equipment

The television has 2 external sockets situated at the back of the set (EXT1 and EXT2).

The EXT1 socket has audio and video inputs/outputs and RGB inputs.

The EXT2 socket has audio and video inputs/outputs and S-VHS inputs.

Video recorder

Video recorder (only)

Carry out the connections featured opposite. To record digital programmes from your TV, the VCR must be connected to EXT2.

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. 12).

To reproduce the video recorder picture, press ①. In this case it will not be possible to record digital channels.

Video recorder with decoder

Connect the decoder to the second euroconnector socket of the video recorder. You will then be able to record scrambled transmissions.

Other equipment

Satellite receiver, decoder, DVD, games, etc.

Carry out the connections featured opposite.

To optimise picture quality, connect the equipment which produces the RGB signals (digital decoder, games, 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.

Side connections

Carry out the connections featured opposite.

Using the ☐ key, select EXT3 for a VHS or 8mm camcorder and S-VHS3 for an S-VHS or Hi-8 camcorder.

For a mono set, connect the sound signal to the AUDIO L (or AUDIO R) input. The sound automatically comes out of the left and right speakers of the TV.

Headphones

The ⏻ △ ⊕ keys allow you to adjust the volume on the headphones and on the set. Press ☑ if you want to cut off the sound on the set.

The headphones must have an impedance of between 32 and 600 ohms.

To select connected equipment

VCR / DVD mode selector

The remote control allows you to control the main functions of your video recorder or DVD.

① Press the MODE key to select the required mode: VCR (video recorder) or DVD.

A green indicator lights up to show the selected mode. It returns automatically (TV mode) after 20 seconds without action.

② Then press one of the following keys :

Glossary

CAM and Smart Card : A CAM (conditional access module) and a smart card can be connected to the television. This unit allows you to access subscription digital channels or special services from the provider.

Digital receiver : The television is equipped with an integrated digital tuner which enables you to receive a digital transmission with a terrestrial antenna. The tuner is able to received Digital Video Broadcast compliant with MPEG-2, up to Main profile @ Main level.

EasyLink : Digital link between the set and the video recorder which allows a direct transfer of certain information such as channel setting.

System : Analogue programmes are not broadcast in the same way in all countries. There are different standards: BG, DK, I, and L L'. The SYSTEM setting (p. 9) is used to select these different standards. This is not to be confused with PAL or SECAM colour coding. Pal is used in the majority of European countries, Secam in France, Russia and the majority of African countries. The United States and Japan use a different system called NTSC. The inputs EXT1 and EXT2 are used to read NTSC coded recordings.

16:9 : Refers to the ration between the length and height of the screen. Wide screen televisions have a ration of 16/9, conventional screen TV sets have a ration of 4/3.

Tips

Poor reception (in analogue mode)

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.12) or modify the orientation of the outside aerial. Does your antenna enable you to receive broadcasts in this frequency range (UHF or VHF band)? In the event of difficult reception (snowy picture) switch the NR on the PICTURE analogue menu to ON. (p. 13).

Bad picture (in digital mode)

If the picture freezes a lot, or in cases of block effect, there is a problem of poor reception. Please check with the signal strength menu (see p.6).

Depending on the strength of digital terrestrial signals available in your area, standard aerials used for analogue transmissions will in most cases provide satisfactory reception of digital signals. If it is not the case, a good quality narrow beam antenna should be professionally installed outside the property and aligned to capture the maximum digital signal strength.

No picture

Have you connected the aerial socket properly? Have you chosen the right system? (p. 12).

Poorly connected euroconnector cables or aerial sockets are often the cause of picture or sound problems (sometimes the connectors can become half disconnected if the TV set is moved or turned). Check all connections.

Peripheral equipment gives a black & white picture

You have not selected the right socket with the

key: S-VHS2 (S-VHS3) instead of EXT2 (EXT3). 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.

No sound (in analogue mode)

If on certain channels you receive a picture but no sound, this means that you do not have the correct TV system. Modify the SYSTEM setting (p. 9).

The remote control no longer works.

Check that the mode selector on the side of the remote control is set to TV.

The TV 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.

Standby

When you switch the TV set on it remains in standby mode and the indication LOCKED is displayed when you use the keys on the TV set? The CHILD LOCK function is switched on (p. 14). If the set receives no signal for 15 mins, it automatically goes into standby mode.

To save power, your set is fitted with components that give it a very low power consumption when in standby mode (less than 3 W).

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.

Still no results?

If your TV set breaks down, never attempt to repair it yourself: contact your dealer's after-sales service.
