to your TV. The following connection diagrams show you how to connect it.

See also the menu item Connection diagrams in the

INSTALLATION menu

where the different connection possibilities are shown. Each time a menu item

is selected a graphic is shown of the connection. Those graphics have no

operational function.

Video recorder

• Connect the aerial cables 1, 2 and, to obtain a better picture quality,

eurocable 3 as shown opposite.

If your video recorder is provided with the EasyLink function, the eurocable supplied

with it, should be connected to

EXTERNAL 2 to benefit from the EasyLink functionality.

You have to do the following if you do not connect the eurocable 3.

Search for and store the test signal of the video recorder

• Unplug the aerial cable 1 from the aerial socket x of your video recorder.

• Switch on your TV and put the video recorder on the test signal. (See the

handbook for your video recorder.)

• Search for the test signal of your video recorder in the same way as you

searched for and stored the TV signals. See Installation, Searching for and

storing TV channels, Manual Installation, p. 5.

• Store the test signal either under programme number 0 or between 90 and 99.

• Replace the aerial cable in the aerial socket x of your video recorder after

you have stored the test signal.

Decoder and video recorder

• Connect a eurocable 4 to your decoder and to the special euroconnector of

your video recorder. See also the video recorder handbook.

See Define Decoder/Descrambler prog. numbers, p. 7.

You can also connect your decoder directly to

EXTERNAL 1 or 2 with a

eurocable .

Video recorder and other peripherals

(except CD-i/Photo CD)

• Connect the aerial cables 1, 2 and 3 as shown opposite. Better picture

quality can be obtained if you also connect eurocable 5 to

EXTERNAL 2 and a

eurocable 4 to

EXTERNAL 1 or 3.

• Look for the test signal of your peripheral in the same way as you do for a

video recorder.

When a video recorder is connected to

EXTERNAL 1 you can only record a

programme from your TV.

Only when a video recorder is connected to

EXTERNAL 2 it is possible to

record a programme from your TV as well as from other connected

equipment. See Record with your video recorder, p. 18.

Care of the screen

Clean the TV with a slightly damp soft

cloth. Do not use abrasive solvent as it can

damage the TV screen.

Poor Picture

Have you selected the correct TV system?

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

outside aerial.

Is the picture or teletext unrecognisable?

Check if you have entered the correct

frequency. See Installation, p. 5.

Are brightness and contrast out of

adjustment ? Press the s key.

Sometimes poor picture quality is possible

when having activated a S-VHS camera or

camcorder connected to the right side of

your TV and another peripheral is

connected to

EXT1 or EXT2 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 ? Are the

connection facilities to a possible second

TV in good condition ? If in doubt, consult

your dealer.

Remote control

If your TV no longer responds to the

remote control, the batteries may be

dead.

You can still use the Menu key and the

-/+ keys at the top of your TV.

Have you selected the wrong menu ? Press

the same key again to exit from the menu.

No solution

Switch your TV off and then on again.

Never attempt to repair a defective

TV yourself.

Check with your dealer or call a TV

technician.

End of life directives

Your new TV contains materials which can

be recycled and reused.

At the end of life specialised companies

can dismantle the discarded TV to

concentrate the reusable materials and to

minimise the amount of materials to be

disposed of.

Please ensure you dispose of your old TV

according to local regulations.

How to dispose of dead batteries ?

The batteries supplied do not contain the

heavy metals mercury and cadmium.

Nevertheless in many countries dead

batteries may not be disposed of with your

household waste. Please ensure you dispose

of dead batteries according to local

regulations.

Lexicon

100 Hz

100 Hertz provides a superior solution to

the problem of picture flicker which is

particularly noticeable with larger screen

sizes. In a conventional TV, the picture

area is scanned 50 times a second (50

Hertz) – a frequency which is still

detectable by the human eye in the form

of a flickering picture. In 100 Hertz sets,

the picture area is scanned at a rate of 100

times per second (100 Hertz). At this

frequency, the eye cannot detect flicker,

resulting in a clearer picture which is more

relaxing to the eye.

Automatic Channel Installation (ACI)

Automatically installs all TV channels in the

same order as offered by your cable

company, provided of course that the data

is transmitted. It also automatically

includes programme number and

programme name.

With ACI, channel installation is fully

automatic, simple and fast.

Child Lock

Feature to prevent children from viewing

unwanted channels.

Digital Scan

If you look at a television screen you will

see small imperfections in the picture

caused by line vibration. Digital Scan (an

internal process) removes interline flicker.

When combined with 100 Hz, you will see

a totally stable image.

DNR

Digital Noise Reduction.

By encoding signals digitally in 100 Hz sets

with Digital Scan it is possible to clean up

picture noise. This is especially beneficial in

poor signal areas and when viewing poor

quality video tapes.

Easy Link

Digital ‘intelligent’ ESI bus-system between

audio components in HiFi systems and

between TV and VCR. (Scart connection

required). Turns source selection and

control into a one-button operation.

Easy Text

Teletext memory that automatically

memorises Teletext pages and gives you

instant access to them.

Euroconnector

A 21-pins connector system enabling you

to simply connect various types of

audio/video and computer equipment.

Incredible Surround

Feature to enrich the sound performance

of your TV set or audio equipment. It

enhances the stereo effect by giving the

impression that the speakers are

positioned much wider apart than they

actually are.

On-screen display of functions and

facilities in a well-organised survey, which

you can select using your remote control.

NTSC

The broadcasting system used in the USA,

Japan and parts of South America and

Southeast-Asia.

Smart Picture and Sound Controls

Keys on the remote control to select

predefined picture and sound settings.

Sleeptimer

Function with which you can set a time

period after which the TV should switch

itself off to standby.

Picture Freeze

TV mode which allows you to “freeze” a

certain image in order to study a specific

detail at ease, e.g. to make notes of certain

programme information like phone

numbers.
