Connect Peripheral Equipment
There is a wide range of audio and video equipment that can be connected to your TV.
The following connection diagrams show you how to connect them.
Depending on the versions, the TV set is equipped with 2 or 3 SCART connectors EXT1, EXT2 and EXT3 located on the rear.
Note: EXT. 1 can handle CVBS and RGB, EXT. 2 CVBS and Y/C, EXT. 3 CVBS and RGB. It is preferred to connect peripherals with RGB output to EXT. 1 or EXT. 3 as RGB provides a better picture quality.
If your recorder is provided with the Easylink function, it should be connected to EXT.2 to benefit from the EasyLink functionality.
Recorder (VCR-DVD+RW)

text_image
CABLE ① ② ③ ④ EXT.Connect the aerial cables ①, ② and, to obtain the optimum picture quality, eurocable ③ as shown.
If your recorder does not have a euroconnector, the only possible connection is via the aerial cable. You will therefore need to tune in your recorder's test signal and assign it programme number 0 or store the test signal under a programme number between 90 and 99, see Manual installation, p. 6. See the handbook of your recorder.
Decoder and Recorder
Connect a eurocable ④ to your decoder and to the special euroconnector of your recorder. See also the recorder handbook. See Decoder, p. 8. You can also connect your decoder directly to EXT. 1 or 2 with a eurocable.
Other equipment (satellite receiver, decoder, DVD, games, etc.)

text_image
CABLE ① ② ③ ④ ⑤ 1 2 EXT.① Connect the aerial cables ①, ② and ③ as shown (only if your peripheral has TV aerial in-/output).
Connect your equipment with a eurocable ④ or ⑤ to one of the euroconnectors EXT.1, 2 or 3 to obtain a better picture quality.
② Look for the test signal of your peripheral in the same way as you do for a recorder.
③ Make a selection in the Setup, Source menu, p. 8.
Side connections

text_image
S-VIDEO VIDEO AUDIO 1 2 3Camera or Camcorder
① Connect your camera or camcorder as shown.
② Connect to VIDEO ② and AUDIO L ③ for mono equipment. For stereo equipment also connect AUDIO R ③. S-VHS quality with an S-VHS camcorder is obtained by connecting the S-VHS cables with the S-VIDEO input ① and AUDIO inputs ③.
Do not connect cable ① and ② at the same time. This may cause picture distortion!
Headphone
① Insert the plug into the headphone socket ⏻ as shown.
2 Press 📁 on the remote control to switch off the internal loudspeakers of the TV.
The headphone impedance must be between 8 and 4000 Ohm. The headphone socket has a 3.5 mm jack.
In the Sound menu select Headphone volume to adjust the headphone volume.
Stereo amplifier and two extra front speakers

text_image
AUDIO1 Connect the audio cables to the AUDIO input of your amplifier and to AUDIO L and R at the back of your TV.
② The output level is controlled by the volume control of the amplifier.
Note: Switch off the TV and your audio amplifier before connecting them. Set the audio amplifier's volume to minimum.
To select connected equipment
Press the → key on the remote control repeatedly to select EXT1, EXT2, EXT3* or SIDE according to where you connected your equipment at the back or the right side of your TV.
Remark : Most equipment (decoder, recorder) carries out the switching itself, when it is switched on.
* Only available on certain versions.
Recorder or DVD with EasyLink
The recorder (VCR or DVD+RW) or DVD can be operated with the remote control via the Recorder or DVD menu on screen.

Tips
| Care of the screen | Do not touch, push or rub or strike the screen with anything hard as this may scratch, mar or damage the screen permanently. And please do not rub with dust clothes with chemical treatment. Do not touch the surface with bare hands or greasy cloth (some cosmetics are detrimental to the screen). Unplug the TV before cleaning the screen. When the surface becomes dusty, please wipe gently with absorbent cotton or other soft materials like chamois soaks. Do not use acetone, toluene and alcohol because they cause chemical damage. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Wipe off saliva or water drops as soon as possible. Their long time contact with the screen causes deformations and colour fading. |
| Poor Picture | Have you selected the correct TV system in the manual installation menu?Is your TV or house aerial located too close to loudspeakers, non-earthed audio equipment or neon lights, etc.?Mountains or high buildings can cause double pictures or ghost images. Sometimes you can improve the picture quality by changing the direction of the aerial.Is the picture or teletext unrecognisable? Check if you have entered the correct frequency. See Installation, p. 6.Are brightness, sharpness and contrast out of adjustment? Select Factory settings in the Setup, General menu, p. 7.Sometimes poor picture quality is possible when having activated an S-VHS camera or camcorder connected to the right side of your TV and another peripheral is connected to one of the peripherals at the same time. In this case switch off one of the other peripherals. |
| No picture | Is the aerial connected properly?Are the plugs tightly connected in the aerial socket?Is the aerial cable in good condition and does it have suitable plugs? |
| No sound | No sound on any channel? Check the volume isn't at minimum.Is the sound interrupted with the mute key? |
| No solution found for your picture or sound problem? | Switch your TV off and then on again once. Never attempt to repair a defective TV yourself. Check with your dealer or call a TV technician. |
| Remote control | If your TV no longer responds to the remote control, the batteries may be dead or the wrong mode (TV or other peripheral, see p. 3) is selected.You can still use theMENUkey and the -/+ keys at the top of your TV. |
| Menu | Have you selected the wrong menu? Press theMENUkey again to exit from the menu. |
| Standby | Your TV consumes energy in the standby mode. Energy consumption contributes to air and water pollution.Power consumption: 1 W. |
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 5 cm 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 'Tips' at the end of this booklet.
Interference
The Department of Trade and Industry operates a Radio Interference Investigation Service to help TV license 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
This apparatus is fitted with an approved moulded 13 Amp plug.
To change a fuse in this type of plug proceed as follows :
- Remove fuse cover and fuse.
- Fit new fuse which should be a BS1362 5A, A.S.T.A. or BSI approved type.
- 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 x 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 or set-top aerials are unlikely to give adequate results.
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 you consult your dealer on the best method of connection.
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.
