• Is your TV or house aerial located too
close to loudspeakers, non-earthed audio
equipment or neon lights, etc.?

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. 5.
• Are brightness and contrast out of
adjustment? Select Factory settings in the
Setup menu, p. 7.

when having activated an S-VHS camera or
camcorder connected to the right side of

other peripherals.
No picture

• Are the plugs tightly connected in the
aerial socket?
