Tips 
 
Screen Care 
 
Clean the screen with a slightly damp, soft 
cloth. Do not use abrasive solvents as they may 
damage the coating layer of the TV screen. 
For your safety, unplug the mains plug when 
cleaning the set. When moving the TV, support 
it from the base. 
  Image Persistence 
 
Please note that ghosting may occur while 
displaying a persistent image. LCD TVs’ image 
persistence may disappear after a short time. 
Try turning off the TV for a while. 
To avoid this, do not leave a 
still picture on the 
screen
 for extended periods. 
  No Power 
 
If your TV system has no power, please check 
the main power cable and connection to the 
mains socket outlet. 
  Poor Picture 
 
Have you selected the correct TV system? Is 
your TV set or house aerial located too close 
to a 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 aerial.
Is the picture or teletext unrecognisable? Check 
if you have entered the correct frequency. 
Please retune the channels.
The picture quality may degrade when two 
peripherals are connected to the TV at the 
same time. In such a case, disconnect one of 
the peripherals. 
  No Picture 
 
Is the aerial connected properly? Are the plugs 
connected tightly to the aerial socket? Is the 
aerial cable damaged? Are suitable plugs used 
to connect the aerial? If you are in doubt, consult 
your dealer.No Picture means that your TV is not receiving 
a transmission. Have you selected the correct 
button on the remote control? Try once more.
Also make sure the correct input source has 
been selected. 
  Sound 
 
You can not hear any sound. Did you perhaps 
interrupt the sound, pressing the 
 button?
Sound is coming from only one of the speakers. 
Is the balance set to one  extreme? See  Sound 
Menu . 
 
Remote Control 
 
Your TV no longer responds to the remote 
control. Perhaps the batteries are exhausted. 
If so you can still use the local buttons at the 
side of the TV. 
  Input Sources 
 
If you cannot select an input source, it is possible 
that no device is connected. 
Check the AV cables and connections if you 
have tried to connect a device.
