Preparation  
2 Connecting the aerial and VCR  
• Read the manuals provided with the devices. Depending on the device, the connection method  
may be different from the diagrams. Also the device settings may need to change depending on  
the connection method.  
• Turn off all the devices including the TV.  
• Connecting cables are not supplied.  
• When connecting monaural audio to the TV, use the L/MONO jack.  
• You can connect an S-VIDEO compatible device (such as an S-VHS VCR) to the S-connector with  
an S-VIDEO cable and enjoy the high quality picture of the S-VIDEO signal (Y/C signal). In that  
case, do not connect it to the TV with a video cable.  
• If you connect the VCR to the TV only with an aerial cable, you should preset the video channel  
from the VCR to the AV channel (channel number 0) on this TV. See “MANUAL CH PRESET” on  
page 20 and preset it manually.

3 Connecting other devices  
If you are not connecting any other devices, skip step 3 and perform step 4.  
• Use the headphones with a stereo mini jack (3.5 mm in diameter). When you connect the  
headphones, the TV speakers go off.  
• The OUTPUT terminal outputs the video and sound signals which you are viewing on the TV.  
You can dub them onto the VCR connected to the OUTPUT terminal.  
(The OUTPUT terminal cannot output S-VIDEO signals or component video signals. Also it  
cannot output any signals when the TV is turned off.)  
• Connect components outputting a component signal (Y/CB/CR signal), such as a DVD player, to  
the VIDEO-2 terminal, and set VIDEO-2 SET function to “COMPONENT”. (See page 18.)  
• The following illustrations are for the AV-21VX71. Your TV’s front and rear panels may not look

Troubleshooting  
If there is no picture or the TV does not operate normally, make sure the problem isn’t due  
to the reasons indicated below.  
If the problem persists even after taking the measures indicated, please contact a service  
technician.  
Cannot turn the TV on  
Poor picture  
• Press the Main power button on the TV.  
• Connect the power cord to the AC outlet.  
• Press the COLOUR SYSTEM button to select  
another colour system. (see page 8.)  
• Adjust the picture settings. (see page 18.)  
• Is a component signal output device, such as  
a DVD player, connected correctly? (see page  
4.)  
The screen turns blue  
• Is the BLUE BACK function on? (see page 17.)  
• Is the VIDEO-2 SET function setting correct?  
(see page 18.)  
Remote control inoperable  
• If noise (snow) totally blocks out the picture,  
check the following.  
• Replace the batteries. (see page 2.)  
- Have the TV and aerial been connected  
properly?  
Buttons on front of the TV do not work  
- Has the aerial cable been damaged?  
- Is the aerial pointing in the right direction?  
- Is the aerial itself faulty?  
• Switch the CHILD LOCK function off. (see  
page 17.)  
• If the TV or aerial suffer interference from  
other equipment, stripes or noise may appear  
in the picture. Move any equipment which  
can cause interference away from the TV.  
TV does not respond immediately  
• Press the main power button on the TV to  
turn off the main power. Press the main  
power button again to turn on the TV. If the  
TV returns to a normal state, operation is  
normal.  
• If the TV or aerial suffer interference from  
signals reflecting from mountains or  
buildings, double-pictures (ghosting) will  
occur. Change the aerial’s direction or replace  
it with an aerial with better directionality.  
• 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 is coloured. When  
the image disappears from the screen, the  
unnatural colours will also disappear.  
The TV turns off suddenly  
• Is the OFF TIMER function set to operate?  
(see page 9.)  
• Is the AUTO SHUTOFF function on? (see page  
17.)  
The picture is tilted  
Poor sound  
<AV-29VS21/AV-29WS21/AV-29VX71/  
AV-29WX11 only>  
• Press the SOUND SYSTEM button to select  
another sound system. (see page 8.)  
• A picture may be tilted due to the influence of  
the earth’s magnetism. In this case, use the  
PICTURE TILT function to adjust the tilt. (see

Troubleshooting  
If there is no picture or the TV does not operate normally, make sure the problem isn’t due  
to the reasons indicated below.  
If the problem persists even after taking the measures indicated, please contact a service  
technician.  
Cannot turn the TV on  
Poor picture  
• Press the Main power button on the TV.  
• Connect the power cord to the AC outlet.  
• Press the COLOUR SYSTEM button to select  
another colour system. (see page 8.)  
• Adjust the picture settings. (see page 18.)  
• Is a component signal output device, such as  
a DVD player, connected correctly? (see page  
4.)  
The screen turns blue  
• Is the BLUE BACK function on? (see page 17.)  
• Is the VIDEO-2 SET function setting correct?  
(see page 18.)  
Remote control inoperable  
• If noise (snow) totally blocks out the picture,  
check the following.  
• Replace the batteries. (see page 2.)  
- Have the TV and aerial been connected  
properly?  
Buttons on front of the TV do not work  
- Has the aerial cable been damaged?  
- Is the aerial pointing in the right direction?  
- Is the aerial itself faulty?  
• Switch the CHILD LOCK function off. (see  
page 17.)  
• If the TV or aerial suffer interference from  
other equipment, stripes or noise may appear  
in the picture. Move any equipment which  
can cause interference away from the TV.  
TV does not respond immediately  
• Press the main power button on the TV to  
turn off the main power. Press the main  
power button again to turn on the TV. If the  
TV returns to a normal state, operation is  
normal.  
• If the TV or aerial suffer interference from  
signals reflecting from mountains or  
buildings, double-pictures (ghosting) will  
occur. Change the aerial’s direction or replace  
it with an aerial with better directionality.  
• 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 is coloured. When  
the image disappears from the screen, the  
unnatural colours will also disappear.  
The TV turns off suddenly  
• Is the OFF TIMER function set to operate?  
(see page 9.)  
• Is the AUTO SHUTOFF function on? (see page  
17.)  
The picture is tilted  
Poor sound  
<AV-2937V1/AV-2932W1 only>  
• Press the SOUND SYSTEM button to select  
another sound system. (see page 8.)  
• A picture may be tilted due to the influence of  
the earth’s magnetism. In this case, use the  
PICTURE TILT function to adjust the tilt. (see  
page 16.)  
• Adjust the sound settings. (see page 18.)
