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.

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.6) 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 menu to ON (p.7).
No picture	Have you connected the aerial socket properly? Have you chosen the right system? (p.6). 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.
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.
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.6).
Teletext	Are certain characters not displayed correctly? Check that the Country setting has been positioned correctly (p.5).
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.8). If the set receives no signal for 10 mins, it automatically goes into standby mode. In standby mode, your TV 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.
Still no results?	If your TV set breaks down, never attempt to repair it yourself: contact your dealer's after-sales service.
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.

Information for users in the UK (not applicable outside the UK)

Positioning the TV

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 5cm all around the TV for ventilation, making sure that curtains, cupboards etc. cannot obstruct the air flow through the ventilation apertures. The TV is intended for use in a domestic environment only and should never be operated or stored in excessively hot or humid atmospheres.

General Points

Please take note of the section entitled 'Tips' at the end of this booklet.

Interference

The Department of Trade and Industry operates a Radio Interference Investigation Service to help TV licence holders improve reception of BBC and IBA programmes where they are being spoilt by interference.

If your dealer cannot help, ask at a main Post Office for the booklet "How to Improve Television and Radio Reception".

Mains connection

Before connecting the TV to the mains, check that the mains supply voltage corresponds to the voltage printed on the type plate on the rear panel of the TV. If the mains voltage is different, consult your dealer.

Important

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.

Connecting the aerial

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.

Should you wish to use the set in conjunction with other equipment, which connects to the aerial socket such as TV 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.

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.
