CH/CC numbers  
• When two CH/CC numbers correspond to one Channel number, choose either one according to  
the current COUNTRY setting. When the COUNTRY setting is other than FRANCE, choose a  
two-digit CH/CC number. When the COUNTRY setting is FRANCE, choose a three-digit CH/  
CC number.  
• Find the CH/CC number (CC110 to CC161) corresponding to the TV channel (SECAM-L  
system) from a French cable TV station, based on the broadcast frequency of the TV channel.  
When you do not know the broadcast frequency, please contact the cable TV station.  
• The CH/CC numbers of CH102-CH169 and CC110-CC161 correspond to the TV channels  
being broadcast by a SECAM-L system. The other CH/CC numbers correspond to the TV  
channels being broadcast by a method other than a SECAM-L system.

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  
Poor picture  
• Is the AC plug connected to the AC  
outlet?  
• Is the Power lamp lit? If not, press the  
Main power button.  
(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?  
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,  
you want to view the TV channel, follow  
the description “BLUE BACK” on  
page 27 to try to change the BLUE BACK  
function setting to OFF.  
• Have you connected the headphones to  
the TV? Connecting the headphones to  
the TV causes sounds not to be issued  
from the TV speakers.  
• 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 28 to use the  
MANUAL function to try to change the  
SYSTEM setting.  
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  
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 22 to try to solve the trouble.  
41  
 
Troubleshooting  
• Have the COLOUR and BRIGHT settings  
been adjusted properly? Follow the  
description “BRIGHT” and “COLOUR”  
on page 21 to try to adjust them properly.  
• Videotaping teletext is not recommended  
because it may not record correctly.  
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.  
• When a white and bright still image (such  
as a white dress) is displayed on the  
screen, the white part may look as if it  
were coloured. It is a phenomenon  
unavoidable due to the nature of the  
picture tube itself, and not due to a TV  
failure. When the picture disappears from  
the screen, the unnatural colours will also  
disappear.  
• When viewing images from commercially  
available video software products, or  
videos from videotapes which have been  
may be distorted. This is due to the  
condition of the video signal, and not  
because of malfunction.  
• 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 operation becomes disabled  
suddenly, press the Main power button on  
the TV and turn off the main power. Try  
to press the Main power button again to  
turn on the main power. If the TV returns  
to a normal state, it is not a failure.  
Poor sound  
• Have you adjusted BASS or TREBLE  
properly? If not, follow the description  
“BASS” or “TREBLE” on page 24.  
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 24 to hear the  
sound more easily by changing it to a mono  
sound.  
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.  
42  
Troubleshooting  
• If you bring a magnetised device such as a  
speaker near to your TV, a picture may be  
warped or unnatural colours appear at the  
corners of the screen. In this case, keep  
the device apart from your TV. If the  
speakers causes such phenomena, use the  
magnetic-shielded speakers instead.  
• A picture may be tilted due to the  
influence of the earth’s magnetism. In this  
case, use the “PICTURE TILT” on  
page 32 to complete the tilt.  
• 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.  
• Touching the screen may cause you feel a  
slight electric shock due to its static  
electricity. It is an unavoidable  
phenomenon due to the construction of  
the picture tube. It is not a problem with  
the TV. You can rest assured that this  
static discharge does not have harmful  
influence over the human body.  
• When a menu is displayed on the screen,  
the ZOOM mode may be automatically  
changed to the FULL mode. This is not a  
malfunction. When the menu disappears,  
the ZOOM mode will return to the  
previously set ZOOM mode.

“What You See Is What You Record”  
You can record to VCR the images that you  
are currently viewing on TV by a simple  
operation. For details, read the manual for  
your VCR. Operate via the VCR. “VCR IS  
RECORDING” is displayed.  
When a T-V LINK compatible VCR is  
connected to the EXT-2 Terminal on the TV,  
it is easier to set up the VCR and to view  
videos. T-V LINK uses the following  
features:  
In the following conditions, the VCR  
will stop recording if the TV is turned  
off, if the TV channel or input is  
switched, or if the menu is displayed  
on the TV:  
• When recording images from an external  
device connected to the TV.  
• When recording a TV channel after it has  
been unscrambled on a decoder.  
• When recording a TV channel by using  
the TV’s output because that TV channel  
cannot be properly received on the VCR’s  
tuner.  
• When the VCR is not ready (for example,  
when there is no tape inserted), “NO  
RECORDING” is displayed.  
To use T-V LINK functions:  
A T-V LINK compatible VCR is necessary.  
The VCR must be connected to the EXT-2  
terminal on the TV by a fully wired SCART  
cable.  
A “T-V LINK compatible VCR” means a  
JVC VCR with the T-V LINK logo or a VCR  
with one of the following logos. However,  
these VCRs may support some or all of the  
features described below. For details, refer to  
your VCR instruction manual.

Corporation)  
• Operation via the TV is not possible.  
• Generally, the VCR cannot record a TV  
channel that cannot be received properly  
by the VCR’s tuner, even though you can  
view that TV channel on the TV.  
“SMARTLINK” (a trademark of Sony  
Corporation)  
However, some VCRs can record a TV

a S-VHS VCR  
TV output from the EXT-1 terminal  
The output of video/sound signal of a TV  
channel you are currently viewing is always  
output from the EXT-1 terminal.  
Connect the device to an EXT terminal other  
than the EXT-1 terminal.  
You can choose a video input signal from the  
S-VIDEO signal (Y/C signal) and regular  
video signal (composite signal). For details  
of how to operate the device, see “S-IN (S-  
VIDEO input)” on page 33.  
• Changing over a Programme number (PR)  
also changes over the TV output from the  
EXT-1 terminal.  
• The video/sound signal from an EXT  
terminal cannot be output.  
• Teletext programmes cannot be output.  
T-V LINK compatible VCR  
Be sure to connect the T-V LINK compatible  
VCR to the EXT-2 terminal. If not, the T-V  
LINK function will not work properly.  
Connecting Speakers/Amplifier  
While referring to the Audio equipment  
connection diagram, connect the audio  
equipment you desire to the TV.  
• When connecting a T-V LINK compatible  
VCR to the EXT-2 terminal, be sure to  
connect the Decoder to the VCR. If not,  
the T-V LINK function may not work  
properly. After you have registered TV  
channels to the Programme numbers (PR),  
set the DECODER (EXT-2) function for  
the Programme number (PR) to ON in  
order to unscramble a scrambled TV  
channel. For details of operation, see  
“DECODER (EXT-2)” on page 32.  
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 effecting the TV screen, use  
magnetic-shielded speakers for the front  
speakers.  
• Note that connecting cables are not  
supplied.  
Connecting headphones  
Connect the headphones with a stereo mini-  
jack (of 3.5 mm in diameter) to the  
headphone jack at the TV rear panel.

CH/CC numbers  
• When two CH/CC numbers correspond to one Channel number, choose either one according to  
the current COUNTRY setting. When the COUNTRY setting is other than FRANCE, choose a  
two-digit CH/CC number. When the COUNTRY setting is FRANCE, choose a three-digit CH/  
CC number.  
• Find the CH/CC number (CC110 to CC161) corresponding to the TV channel (SECAM-L  
system) from a French cable TV station, based on the broadcast frequency of the TV channel.  
When you do not know the broadcast frequency, please contact the cable TV station.  
• The CH/CC numbers of CH102-CH169 and CC110-CC161 correspond to the TV channels  
being broadcast by a SECAM-L system. The other CH/CC numbers correspond to the TV  
channels being broadcast by a method other than a SECAM-L system.  
39  
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  
Poor picture  
• Is the AC plug connected to the AC  
outlet?  
• Is the Power lamp lit? If not, press the  
Main power button.  
(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?  
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,  
you want to view the TV channel, follow  
the description “BLUE BACK” on  
page 26 to try to change the BLUE BACK  
function setting to OFF.  
• Have you connected the headphones to  
the TV? Connecting the headphones to  
the TV causes sounds not to be issued  
from the TV speakers.  
• 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 27 to use the  
MANUAL function to try to change the  
SYSTEM setting.  
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  
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 21 to try to solve the trouble.  
40  
Troubleshooting  
• Have the COLOUR and BRIGHT settings  
been adjusted properly? Follow the  
description “BRIGHT” and “COLOUR”  
on page 20 to try to adjust them properly.  
• Videotaping teletext is not recommended  
because it may not record correctly.  
Operation disabled  
• Have the batteries of the remote control  
become exhausted? Follow the  
description “Putting the batteries into the  
Remote control” on page 4 and replace  
them with new batteries to try to solve the  
problem.  
• When a white and bright still image (such  
as a white dress) is displayed on the  
screen, the white part may look as if it  
were coloured. It is a phenomenon  
unavoidable due to the nature of the  
picture tube itself, and not due to a TV  
failure. When the picture disappears from  
the screen, the unnatural colours will also  
disappear.  
• When viewing images from commercially  
available video software products, or  
videos from videotapes which have been  
may be distorted. This is due to the  
condition of the video signal, and not  
because of malfunction.  
• 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 operation becomes disabled  
suddenly, press the Main power button on  
the TV and turn off the main power. Try  
to press the Main power button again to  
turn on the main power. If the TV returns  
to a normal state, it is not a failure.  
Poor sound  
• Have you adjusted BASS or TREBLE  
properly? If not, follow the description  
“BASS” or “TREBLE” on page 23.  
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 23 to hear the  
sound more easily by changing it to a mono  
sound.  
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.  
41  
Troubleshooting  
• If you bring a magnetised device such as a  
speaker near to your TV, a picture may be  
warped or unnatural colours appear at the  
corners of the screen. In this case, keep  
the device apart from your TV. If the  
speakers causes such phenomena, use the  
magnetic-shielded speakers instead.  
• A picture may be tilted due to the  
influence of the earth’s magnetism. In this  
case, use the “PICTURE TILT” on  
page 31 to complete the tilt.  
• 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.  
• Touching the screen may cause you feel a  
slight electric shock due to its static  
electricity. It is an unavoidable

Troubleshooting  
If a problem arises while you are using the TV, please read this “Troubleshooting” guide carefully  
before you ask to have 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  
you need help when you are operating a function, read the page(s) for that function carefully,  
not this Troubleshooting guide.  
• If you have followed the Troubleshooting guide or the advice for the functions concerned  
without any success, remove the AC plug from the AC outlet and ask for your TV to be  
repaired. 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 connected to the AC  
outlet?  
Poor picture  
(snow), the aerial or aerial cable may have  
trouble. Check the following to try to  
solve the trouble:  
• Is the Power lamp lit? If not, press the  
Main power button.  
Has the TV and aerial been connected  
properly?  
Has the aerial cable been damaged?  
Is the aerial pointing in the right  
direction?  
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,  
you want to view the TV channel, follow  
the description “BLUE BACK” on  
page 28 to try to change the BLUE BACK  
function setting to OFF.  
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  
voltage wire, please contact your local  
dealer.  
• If the TV receives interference from a  
signal reflecting from mountains or  
buildings, double-pictures (ghosting) will  
occur. Try to change the aerial’s direction  
or replace the antenna with the one with  
better directionality.  
• Have you connected headphones to the  
TV? If you connect headphones to the TV  
no sound will come from the TV  
speakers.  
• 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 29 to use the  
MANUAL function to try to change the  
SYSTEM setting.  
• Are your COLOUR SYSTEM settings for  
the TV channels correct? Follow the  
description “COLOUR SYSTEM” on  
page 23 to try to solve the trouble.

Troubleshooting  
• Have the COLOUR and BRIGHT settings  
been adjusted properly? Follow the  
description “BRIGHT” and “COLOUR”  
on page 22 to try to adjust them properly.  
• Videotaping teletext is not recommended  
because it may not record correctly.  
Operation disabled  
• Have the batteries of the remote control  
become exhausted? Follow the  
description “Putting the batteries into the  
remote control” on page 7 and replace  
them with new batteries to try to solve the  
problem.  
• Have you tried to use the remote control  
from the sides or rear of the TV or from  
more than seven metres away? Use the  
remote control in front of your TV and  
less than seven metres away to try to solve  
the problem.  
• When you are viewing a teletext  
programme, you cannot operate the  
menus. Press the b button to return to  
the ordinary TV programme and then try  
operating the menus.  
• When a white and bright still image (such  
as a white dress) is displayed on the  
screen, the white part may look as if it  
were coloured. This is unavoidable due to  
the nature of the picture tube itself, and is  
not a fault. When the picture disappears  
from the screen, the unnatural colours will  
also disappear.  
• When viewing images from commercially  
available video software products, or  
videos from videotapes which have been  
may be distorted. This is due to the  
condition of the video signal, and is not a  
TV fault.  
• If the TV operation becomes disabled  
suddenly, press the Main power button on  
the TV and turn off the main power. Try  
to press the Main power button again to  
turn on the main power. If the TV returns  
to a normal state, it is not a failure.  
Poor sound  
• Have you adjusted BASS or TREBLE  
properly? If not, follow the description  
“BASS” or “TREBLE” on page 25.  
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 25 to hear the  
sound more easily by changing it to a mono  
sound.  
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 (wide screen) 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.

Troubleshooting  
• If you bring a magnetised device such as a  
speaker near to your TV, a picture may be  
warped or unnatural colours appear at the  
corners of the screen. In this case, keep  
the device apart from your TV. If the  
speakers cause this to happen, use  
magnetic-shielded speakers instead.  
• A picture may be tilted due to the  
influence of the earth’s magnetism. In this  
case, use the “PICTURE TILT” on  
page 33 to correct the tilt.  
• 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, there may be other  
causes. As a precaution, ask your service  
technician to inspect it.  
• Touching the screen may cause you feel a  
slight electric shock due to its static  
electricity. It is unavoidable due to the  
construction of the picture tube. It is not a  
problem with the TV. You can rest  
assured that this static discharge does not  
have a harmful effect.  
• When a menu is displayed on the screen,  
the ZOOM mode may be automatically  
changed to the FULL mode. This is not a  
malfunction. When the menu disappears,  
the ZOOM mode will return to the  
previously set ZOOM mode.
