Tips
Positioning the television set
Place your TV on a solid, stable surface, leaving a space of at least 5 cm around the appliance. To avoid accidents, do not put anything on the set such as a cloth or cover, a container full of liquid (vase) or a heat source (lamp). The set must not be exposed to water.
Poor reception
The proximity of mountains or high buildings may be responsible for ghost pictures, echoing or shadows. In this case, modify the orientation of the aerial.
No picture or no sound
Have you connected the aerial socket properly? Have you chosen the right system? (p. 5).
Teletext

Standby
If the set receives no signal for 15 mins, it automatically goes into standby mode. In stand-by 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.
