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).

Installing your television set

① Positioning the television set

5 cm 5 cm 5 cm

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.

② Connections

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

If you are using an indoor aerial, reception may be difficult in certain conditions. You can improve reception by rotating the aerial. If the reception remains poor, you will need to use an external aerial.

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

③ Remote control

Technical line drawing of two mechanical components with a small cylindrical component nearby (no text or symbols)

Insert the two R6-type batteries (supplied) making sure that they are the right way round. Check that the mode selector is set to TV. The batteries supplied with this appliance do not contain mercury or nickel cadmium. If you have access to a recycling facility, please do not discard your used batteries (if in doubt, consult your dealer). When the batteries are replaced, use the same type.

④ Switching on

Connecting peripheral equipment

Depending on the versions, the TV set is equipped with 2 or 3 SCART connectors EXT1, EXT2 and EXT4 located on the rear.

The EXT1 connector has audio video inputs/outputs and RGB inputs.

The EXT2 connector has audio video inputs/outputs and S-VHS inputs.

The EXT4 connector (if available) has audio video inputs/outputs and RGB inputs.

Video recorder

CABLE EXT 2 VCR

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. 5).

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. See also the Decoder menu (page 6).

Other equipment

CABLE

Satellite receiver, decoder, DVD, games, etc.

Carry out the connections shown opposite.

To optimise picture quality, connect the equipment which produces the RGB signals (digital decoder, games, etc.) to EXT1 or EXT4, and the equipment which produces the S-VHS signals (S-VHS and Hi-8 video recorders, certain DVD drives) to EXT2.

To select connected equipment

Press the ⏻ key to select EXT1, EXT2, S-VHS2 (S-VHS signals from the EXT2 socket), EXT3 for connections on the front panel and EXT4 (if available).

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

Side connections

S+VIDEO VIDEO AUDIO

Make the connections as shown opposite.

With the ➕ key, select EXT3.

For a mono set, connect the sound signal to the AUDIO L (or AUDIO R) input. The sound automatically comes out of the left and right speakers of the set. Do not connect VIDEO and S-VIDEO cable at the same time. This may cause picture distortion.

Headphones

Press the ⏻ key to mute the sound on the TV set (see also sound settings, page 6).

The headphone impedance must be between 32 and 600 Ohms.

Amplifier (only available on certain versions)

AUDIO

To connect to a hi-fi system, use an audio connection cable and connect the "L" and "R" outputs on the TV set to the "AUDIO IN" "L" and "R" input on your hi-fi amplifier.

EasyLink Function

(only available on certain versions)

If your video recorder has an EasyLink function, during installation, the language, country and available channels are automatically transmitted to the video recorder. Equally, when the video recorder is in standby, pressing the ● key on the remote control will start the recording of the same programme displayed on the TV set.

The video recorder must be connected to the EXT2 connector (see p. 10).

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.5) 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 Dynamic NR on the Features menu to ON. (p. 6).

No picture

If the television does not switch on, please press the standby key ⏻ (located on the remote control) twice.

Have you connected the aerial socket properly? Have you chosen the right system? (p. 5).

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.

The remote control no longer works

Check that the mode selector on the side of the remote control is set to TV.

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. 5).

Teletext

Are certain characters not displayed correctly? Check that the Country setting has been positioned correctly (p.5).

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. 7). 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).

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.

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.

100Hz : Conventional televisions (50 Hz) produce a visible image flicker. Thanks to 100 Hz technology, the scanning frequency is doubled. It is visually more comfortable and the flickering effect is reduced.

16:9 : Refers to the ration between the length and height of the screen. Wide screen televisions have a ration of 16/9, conventional screen TV sets have a ration of 4/3.
