English - 27 - Connect Peripheral Equipment High Definition Your LCD Television is capable of displaying High Defi- nition pictures from devices such as a High Definition Satellite Receiver or DVD Player. These devices must be connected via the HDMI sockets or Component Socket. These sockets can accept either 720p or 1080i signals. Also, only HDMI modes accept 1080p signals. Via The Scart The TV has 2SCART sockets. If you want to con- nect peripherals (e.g. video, decoder, etc.) which have Scart sockets to the TV, you can use SCARTsockets of the TV. NOTE: If an external device is connected via the Scart sockets, the TV will automatically switch to AV mode. If both sockets are employed at the sime time, SCART 1 becomes the prefer- ential. Via Aerial Input If the device you want to connect does not have a Scart socket, you should connect it to the Aerial input of the TV.

English - 29 - Tips Care Of The Screen Clean the screen with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Do not use abrasive solvents as they may damage the TV screen coating layer. Poor Picture Have you selected the correct TV system? Is your TV set or house aerial located too close to non-earthed audio equipment or neon lights, etc.? Mountains or high buildings can cause double pic- tures 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. The picture quality may degrade when two peripher- als 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 con- nected 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. Sound You can not hear any sound. Did you perhaps inter- rupt 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 bottom of the TV. IB-ENG-(L42VP01U)-MB26 UK-42780W -(RRC1001-2511E)-(ECO PIP)-10052018-50121775.p6516.01.2008, 17:4229
