② Connections

- Insert the aerial plug into the 7F socket at the rear of the set.

Smaller sets are equipped with an internal aerial. Under certain conditions, reception can be poor. You can improve it by repositioning the aerial. If the reception remains unsatisfactory, an external aerial should be used.

- Insert the mains plug into a wall socket (220-240 V / 50 Hz).

Connecting other appliances

Depending on the model, the TV is equipped with 1 or 2 euroconnector sockets, EXT1 and EXT2.

The EXT1 socket controls audio video input/output and RGB input.

The EXT2 socket (if available) controls audio video input/output and S-VHS input.

Video recorder

EXT 2 EXT 1 VCR

Video recorder (only)

Connect as shown 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 test signal and assign it programme number 0 (see manual store, p. 3). To reproduce the video recorder picture, press ①.

Video recorder with decoder

Connect the decoder to the second euroconnector on the video recorder. You can then record scrambled transmissions.

Other equipment

Diagram showing connection between a device and an external network switch labeled EXT 1 and EXT 2

Satellite receiver, decoder, DVD, games, etc.

For sets equipped with two euroconnector sockets, it is best to connect the equipment which produces RGB signals (digital decoder, DVD drives, games, etc.) to EXT1 and the equipment which produces S-VHS signals (S-VHS and Hi-8 video recorders) to EXT2.

Front panel connections

Illustration of a vintage computer monitor, headphones, and a surveillance camera with cable connectors (no text or symbols)

(available only on certain models)

Depending on the model, sockets are on the front (sometimes under a flap) or on the right-hand side of the set.

Headphones (only on certain models)

When the earphones are plugged in, the sound on the set is cut off. Adjust the volume using the ⏻ ∠ + keys.

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

Camcorder

Certain models are equipped with AUDIO/VIDEO connections. You will find 1 video input + 1 sound input (mono versions) or 2 sound inputs left (L) and right (R) on stereo versions. Make the connections, then use the key to select EXT (or EXT2 for models with 2 euroconnector sockets). The switch between the front and rear sockets is automatic with priority on front sockets.

For a monophonic camera, connect the sound signal to the AUDIO L input. Use the I-II key to reproduce the sound through the left and right TV speakers.

The switch is automatic on most appliances (decoders, etc.).

The keys on the TV set

Diagram of a computer monitor with labeled buttons and indicators for viewing and program functions

The television set has 4 keys which are located on the front or the top of the set depending on the model.

Tips

Poor reception or no picture

The proximity of mountains or high buildings can cause ghost pictures, echoing or shadows. If this is the case, try tuning the picture using FINE TUNE (p. 4).

Do you have the right system (p. 4)?

Check that the aerial plug or euroconnector plug is properly connected.

Check also that your aerial is capable of receiving broadcasts in this frequency range (UHF or VHF).

Adjusting the picture

In case of bad reception (fuzzy picture), set the NOISE RED to ON: p.5.

The picture is in black and white

To read a video cassette, check that it is recorded in the same format as that of the video recorder (PAL, SECAM or NTSC).

No sound

If certain programmes have a picture but no sound, this is because you do not have the correct TV system (see p. 4).

Standby

The set switches automatically to standby if it receives no signals for a period of 15 minutes.

When it is in standby mode, the set uses energy. To save electricity, we advise you to switch it off using the on-off button.

Still having problems?

If the set breaks down, never try to repair it yourself. Consult your after-sales service department instead.

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).
