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 NR on the
menu to ON (p. 6).

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.
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 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.
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).
Are certain characters not displayed correctly ? Check that the Country
setting has been positioned correctly (p.4).
Check that the disc does not have any fingerprints on it. Clean it with a soft
cloth, wiping from the centre to the edge.
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 4 W).
If your TV set breaks down, never attempt to repair it yourself : contact
your dealer's after-sales service.
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.
