T-V LINK functions  
For UK model  
(AV32T25EK/AV28T25EK/  
AV32T55EK/AV28T55EK):  
BBC1, BBC2, ITV, Channel 4 and  
Channel 5 are automatically set to the  
programme numbers PR1 to PR5. If the  
TV doesn't receive one of these TV  
channels, that programme number (PR)  
will not be set. Programme number PR6 is  
not normally set.  
When you have a T-V LINK compatible  
VCR 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:  
To use T-V LINK functions:  
A “T-V LINK compatible VCR” means a  
JVC video cassette recorder with the T-V  
LINK logo, or with one of the following  
logos. However, these VCRs may support  
some or all of the features described earlier.  
For details, see your VCR instruction  
manual.  
For Ireland model  
(AV32T25EI/AV28T25EI):  
If your TV can detect the TV channel  
name from the TV channel broadcast  
signal, the TV channel name is assigned  
to the programme number (PR) to which  
the TV channel has been set. However,  
which TV channels are set to which  
programme numbers (PR) will depend on  
the area in which you live.  
• If a TV channel you want to view is not  
set to a programme number (PR), you can  
set it using the MANUAL function. For  
details, see “EDIT/MANUAL” on

Pre-set download  
• The AUTO PROGRAM function does not  
set the programme number PR 0 (AV) for  
your video cassette recorder. You will  
need to set this using the MANUAL  
function.  
• In some areas you may get TV reception  
from more than one transmitter, for  
example different ITV regions. In this  
case each TV channel could be set twice.  
If this happens, the first set of channels  
will have the stronger signal. If you want  
to delete the second set of channels, you  
will have to do it manually (see page 30).  
The VCR will automatically download the  
registered data on the TV channels from the  
TV. This means you do not need to set up the  
program channels on your VCR manually.  
The preset download function automatically  
begins when the initial setting is complete or  
whenever you carry out the AUTO  
PROGRAM or EDIT/MANUAL functions.  
You can also carry out this function using  
your VCR controls.  
When “FEATURE NOT AVAILABLE” is  
displayed:  
If “FEATURE NOT AVAILABLE” is  
displayed, the download was not performed  
correctly. Before trying to download again,  
check that:  
• the VCR power is turned on  
• the VCR is T-V LINK compatible  
• the VCR is connected to the EXT-2  
terminal  
• the SCART cable is fully wired.

Setting up your TV  
Direct Rec  
“What You See Is What You Record”  
You can easily record to VCR the images  
that you are watching on the TV.  
For details, read the manual for your VCR.  
Use your VCR controls. “VCR IS  
RECORDING” is displayed.  
In the following situations, the VCR  
will stop recording if the TV is turned  
off, if the TV channel or input is  
changed, or if the menu is displayed  
on the TV:  
• when recording images from an external  
device connected to the TV (for example  
a camcorder)  
• 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 the VCR’s own  
tuner cannot properly receive that  
channel.  
You cannot carry out Direct Rec using your  
TV’s control.  
Generally, the VCR cannot record a TV  
channel that it cannot receive properly on its  
own tuner, even if you can view that TV  
channel on the TV. However, some VCRs  
can record a TV channel by using the TV’s  
output if that channel can be viewed on the  
TV. For details, see your VCR instruction  
manual.

When the VCR starts playing, the TV  
automatically turns on and the images from  
the EXT-2 terminal appear on the screen.  
When the VCR menu is operated, the TV  
automatically turns on and the images from  
the EXT-2 terminal appear on the screen.  
• This function does not happen if your  
TV’s main power is turned off. Set your  
TV’s main power to on (standby mode).

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 mains plug is disconnected from the mains 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 causes are not easy to decide. If you  
have a question when you are operating a function, read the page(s) for that function carefully,  
not this troubleshooting guide.  
• If you follow the advice in this troubleshooting guide without any success, unplug the mains  
plug and ask for your TV to be repaired. Do not attempt to repair the TV by yourself or to  
remove the rear cover of the TV.  
• If the TV or aerial suffers interference  
from other equipment, stripes or noise  
may appear in the picture. Move any  
equipment such as an amplifier, personal  
computer, or a hair drier, that can cause  
interference away from your TV. Or try  
moving the TV. If the aerial suffers  
interference from a radio tower or high-  
voltage wire, please contact your local  
dealer.  
• If the TV suffers interference from signals  
reflecting from mountains or buildings,  
double-pictures (ghosting) will occur. Try  
to change the aerial’s direction or replace  
it with one with better directionality.  
• Are your COLOUR SYSTEM settings  
correct? Follow the description  
If you cannot turn on the TV  
• Is the mains plug connected to the mains  
outlet?  
• Is the power lamp lit? If not, press the  
main power button.  
No picture or no sound  
• Have you chosen a TV channel with very  
poor reception? If so, the BLUE BACK  
function will be activated: the entire  
screen becomes blue, and the sound is  
muted. If you still want to view the TV  
channel, follow the description “BLUE  
BACK” on page 25 to try to change the  
BLUE BACK function setting to OFF.  
• Have you connected headphones to the  
TV?  
Connecting headphones to the TV turns  
off the TV speakers.  
“COLOUR SYSTEM” on page 20 to try  
to solve the trouble.  
• Have you set the SPEAKER function to  
OFF? Follow the description  
“SPEAKER” on page 22 to check the  
• Have the COLOUR and BRIGHT settings  
been adjusted properly? Follow the  
description “Picture Adjustment” on  
page 19 to try to adjust them properly.  
• Videotaping teletext is not recommended  
because it may not record correctly.  
• 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. This is 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.  
SPEAKER function setting.  
Poor picture  
• If noise (snow) totally block out the  
picture, there may be a problem with the  
aerial or aerial cable. Check the following  
to try to solve the problem:  
– Have the TV and aerial been connected  
properly?  
– Has the aerial cable been damaged?  
– Is the aerial pointing in the right  
direction?  
– Is the aerial itself faulty?  
36  
Troubleshooting  
• If you bring a magnetised equipment such  
as a speaker near to your TV, the picture  
may be warped or unnatural colours now  
appear at the corners of the screen. In this  
case, keep the equipment away from your  
TV. If speakers cause this to happen, use  
magnetic-shielded speakers instead.  
• A picture may be tilted due to the earth’s  
own magnetic field. If so, use the  
Poor sound  
• Have you adjusted BASS or TREBLE  
properly? If not, follow the description  
“Sound Adjustment” on page 21.  
• When TV channel reception is poor, it can  
be hard to hear 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.  
“PICTURE TILT” on page 21 to correct  
the tilt.  
If the TV does not respond to the  
remote control  
• The TV may make a crackling sound due  
to a sudden change in temperature. The  
picture or sound may be normal. 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.  
• Have the batteries of the remote control  
worn out? Follow the description “Putting  
the batteries into the Remote control” on  
page 6 and replace them with new  
batteries.  
• Have you attempted to use the remote  
control from the sides or rear of the TV or  
from more than seven metres away from  
the TV? Use the remote control in the  
front of your TV or from less than seven  
metres away.  
• 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.  
• Touching the screen may cause you to  
feel a slight electric shock due to its static  
electricity. This 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 is not  
harmful.  
• If the TV will not respond suddenly, press  
the main power button on the TV and turn  
off the main power. Press the main power  
button again to turn on the TV. If the TV  
returns to a normal state, it is not a failure.  
Other issues  
• 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. If the TV goes back to  
normal, there is no problem.  
• When the TV is receiving a wide-screen  
signal (WSS) or a signal from an external  
device affecting the screen size, the  
ZOOM mode automatically changes.  
When you want to resume the previous  
ZOOM mode, press the c button  
again.
