Problem-solving guide
The video has the time or - -.- - on the display
If while you are setting up the video, the timer or - -.- - is in the display, the video is switched off or has
already gone through the autoset procedure (OK has already been pressed). In this case, please turn to page 6
and carry out step 2 until you see the manual tuning screen.

If a blue screen appears when you switch the video on, the AV button has been pressed. Press AV on the
remote control until P-_ _ appears on the display of the video, or until a TV picture is displayed.
