„Connecting devices to the OUT terminal
The signals of the images and sound you are currently 
viewing with this TV are output through the OUT terminal. 
By connecting a VCR to the OUT terminal, you can record 
the currently shown image and sound to that VCR. To do 
this, connect the VCR and OUT terminal following the 
steps below.
1 Connect the VIDEO or S-VIDEO in the OUT 
terminals and the VCR’s VIDEO IN (video input) 
terminal with a video cable or an S-VIDEO cable
• No signal will output through the S-VIDEO terminal 
when you are not viewing images coming from the 
S-VIDEO input. In this case, use the VIDEO 
terminal instead of the S-VIDEO terminal.
2 Connect the AUDIO (L and R) in the OUT 
terminals and the VCR’s AUDIO IN (audio L/R 
input) terminals with an audio cable
• When you turn off the TV, the signals from the OUT 
terminal are also turned off.
• No signal is output when VIDEO-4 is chosen.
„Connecting headphones
Connect the headphones with a stereo mini-jack (of 3.5 mm 
in diameter) to the headphone jack at the TV.
• The headphone volume is adjusted with the 
“HEADPHONE” menu (see page 22).
„Connecting Speakers/Amplifier
See the Audio equipment connection diagram, then connect 
the audio equipment you desire to the TV.
You can use external front speakers to listen to the TV 
sound instead of the TV speakers.
Before connecting anything:
• Read the manuals provided with the amplifier and 
speakers.
• Turn the TV and amplifier off.
• To prevent magnetism from the speakers adversely 
affecting the TV screen, use magnetically-shielded 
speakers for the front speakers.
• Note that connecting cables are not supplied.
• The output from the AUDIO OUT terminal is not 
interrupted by headphone connection to the TV. You 
cannot cut the sound from the front speaker even if you 
connect a headphone to the TV.
• Adjust the volume of the external speakers with the 
amplifier.

Troubleshooting
If a problem arises while you are using the TV, please read this “Troubleshooting” well before you request having the TV repaired. 
You may be able to fix it easily by yourself. For example, if the AC plug is disconnected from the AC outlet, or the TV aerial has 
problems, you may think there is a problem with the TV itself.
Important:
• This Troubleshooting guide only covers problems whose cause are not easy to determine. If a question arise when you are 
operating a function, read the page(s) corresponding to the operation of the function well, not this Troubleshooting guide.
• After you have followed the Troubleshooting description or the operating description of the functions concerned without any 
success, remove the AC plug from the AC outlet and request a repair of your TV. Do not attempt to repair the TV by yourself or 
remove the rear cover of the TV.
„If you cannot turn on the TV
• Is the AC plug on the power cord from the TV connected 
to an AC outlet?
• Make sure to set the VCR/TV/DVD switch to the TV 
position. You cannot turn the TV on when the VCR/TV/
DVD switch is set to the VCR or DVD position.
„If you cannot turn off the TV
• Make sure to set the VCR/TV/DVD switch to the TV 
position. You cannot turn the TV off when the VCR/TV/
DVD switch is set to the VCR or DVD position.
„No picture/No sound
• Have you chosen a TV channel whose reception is 
extremely bad? In this case, the BLUE BACK function 
will be activated, the entire screen becomes blue, and the 
sound is muted. In spite of this, if you want to view the 
TV channel, follow the description “BLUE BACK” on 
page 23 to try to change the BLUE BACK function 
setting to OFF.
• Have you set the SPEAKER function to OFF? Follow 
the description “SPEAKER” on page 21 to confirm the 
SPEAKER function setting to try to solve the problem.
• If the SYSTEM setting for a TV channel is incorrect, it 
may prevent the sound from being issued. Follow the 
description “EDIT/MANUAL” on page 25 to use the 
MANUAL function to try to change the SYSTEM 
setting.
„Poor picture
• If noise totally obscures the picture (snow), the aerial or 
aerial cable may have trouble. Check the following to try 
to solve the trouble:
Has the TV and aerial been connected properly?
Has the aerial cable been damaged?
Is the aerial pointed to the right direction?
Is the aerial itself faulty?
• If the TV or aerial receives interference from the other 
devices, stripes or noise may appear in the picture. Move 
such devices as an amplifier, personal computer, or a 
hair drier that can cause interference away from your 
TV, or try changing its location. If the aerial suffers 
interference from a radio tower or high-voltage wire, 
please contact your local dealer.
• If the TV receives interference from signal reflecting 
from mountains or building, double-pictures (ghosting) 
will occur. Try to change the aerial’s direction or replace 
the antenna with the one with better directionality.
• Are your COLOUR SYSTEM settings for the TV 
channels correct? Follow the description “COLOUR 
SYSTEM” on page 20 to try to solve the trouble.
• Has COLOUR or BRIGHT been controlled properly? 
Follow the description “Picture Adjustment” on page 18 
to try to adjust them properly.
• Videotaping teletext is not recommended because it may 
not record correctly.• When viewing images from commercially available 
video software products, or videos from videotapes 
which have been recorded improperly, the top of the 
image may be distorted. This is due to the condition of 
the video signal, and not because of malfunction.
„Poor sound
• Have you adjusted BASS or TREBLE properly? If not, 
follow the description “Sound Adjustment” on page 21 
to try to adjust them properly.
• When the TV channel reception is poor, it can be hard to 
hear the stereo or bilingual sound. In this case, follow the 
description “STEREO / I • II” on page 21 to hear the 
sound more easily by changing it to a mono sound.
„Operation disabled
• Have the batteries of the remote control become 
exhausted? Follow the description “Putting the batteries 
into the Remote control” on page 5 and replace them 
with new batteries to try to solve the problem.
• Have you attempted to use the remote control at the sides 
or rear of the TV or at a location more than seven meters 
apart from the TV location? Operate the remote control 
in the front of your TV or a location less than seven 
meters from your TV to try to solve the problem.
• When you are viewing a teletext programme, you cannot 
operate the menus. Press the b button to return the 
teletext programme to the ordinary TV programme to try 
operating the menus.
• If the TV suddenly stops responding, disconnect the 
power cord of the TV from the AC outlet. Connect them 
to the AC outlet again to turn on the TV. If the TV 
returns to a normal state, it is not a failure.

„Other concerns
• When the SLEEP TIMER function operates, the TV is 
automatically turned off. If the TV is turned off 
suddenly, try to press the # (Standby) button to turn on 
the TV once again. At this time, if the TV resumes a 
normal state, there is no problem.
• When a WSS signal is included in the broadcast signal or 
the signal from an external device, or when the TV is 
receiving a control signal from an external device, the 
ZOOM mode will change automatically. When you want 
to return to the previous ZOOM mode, press the c 
button to choose the ZOOM mode again.
• It takes a short period of time from the time an operation 
such as changing channels is performed until an image is 
displayed. This is not a malfunction. This is the time 
required for the image to stabilize before it can be 
displayed.
• The TV may emit a crackling sound due to a sudden 
change in temperature. It does not matter if a picture or 
sound does not show any abnormality. If you hear 
crackling sounds frequently while you are viewing the 
TV, other causes may be assumed. For precautionary 
purposes, request your service technician to inspect it.
• In the twin pictures mode the sub-picture may disappear 
when the external device is operated. If this happens, 
press the R button and display the sub-picture again.
• The headphone volume is adjusted with the 
“HEADPHONE” menu. It cannot be adjusted with the 
r (volume) q buttons.
• When TV SPEAKER in the “HEADPHONE” menu is 
ON, even if the headphones are connected, sound is 
emitted from the TV speaker. When you do not want to 
emit sound from the TV speaker, turn the setting OFF.
• The top of the TV and the screen may become hot during 
use but this has no affect on the performance of the TV. 
Make sure that the ventilation holes are not blocked.
• When the picture is unstable, the screen may become 
white for a moment. This happens when the signal which 
drives the liquid crystal is missing. This is not a fault.
• When a still image has been displayed for a long period, 
a faint residual image may remain on the screen for a 
short time after the power has been turned off or when 
another image is displayed. This is not a fault and the 
image will eventually disappear.
