Connecting peripheral equipment

The EXT1 socket has audio, CVBS/RGB inputs and audio, CVBS outputs.

Video recorder

EXT1 VCR

Video recorder (or DVD 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. 7).

To reproduce the video recorder picture, press Ⓞ.

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

EXT1

Satellite receiver, decoder, DVD, games, etc.

Make the connections as shown opposite.

Side connections

S Video Video in Audio in R

Make the connections as shown opposite. With the ⏻ key, select EXT2 or S-VHS2 (S-VHS signals from the EXT2 socket).

For a monophonic device, connect the audio signal to the AUDIO L input. The sound automatically comes out of the left and right speakers of the set.

Headphones

When headphones are connected, the sound on the TV set will be cut. The ⏻ P ╗ keys are used to adjust the volume level.

The headphone impedance must be between 32 and 600 Ohms.

To select connected equipment

Press the ⬤ key to select EXT1 and EXT2 and S-VHS2 (S-VHS signals from the EXT2 socket).

Most equipment (decoder, video recorder) carries out the switching itself.

Tips

Poor reception	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.7) or modify the orientation of the outside aerial. Does your antenna enable you to receive broadcasts in this frequency range (UHF or VHF band)?
No picture	Have you connected the aerial socket properly? Have you chosen the right system? (p. 7). 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 and white picture	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	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. 7).The amplifier connected to the TV does not deliver any sound? Check that you have not confused the audio output with the audio input.
Remote control	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. 9).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 1 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.
Recycling	The materials used in your set are either reusable or can be recycled.To minimise environmental waste, specialist companies collect used appliances and dismantle them after retrieving any materials that can be used again (ask your dealer for further details).
Still no results?	Disconnect the mains plug of the TV for 30 seconds then reconnect it.If your TV set breaks down, never attempt to repair it yourself: contact your dealer's after-sales service.
