PICTURE FEATURES  
• When a progressive-scanning picture is  
being displayed, “DIGITAL VNR”  
cannot be selected.  
• The DIGITAL VNR function does not  
work for progressive-scanning pictures.  
Super DigiPure  
The Super DigiPure function uses the latest  
in digital technology to give you a natural-  
looking picture. The Super DigiPure function  
includes the following two functions.  
DIGITAL VNR  
The DIGITAL VNR function cuts down the  
amount of ‘noise’ (‘snow’ or interference) in  
the original picture.  
DigiPure function:  
This function helps to create a natural-looking  
picture by eliminating unnecessary edges  
from high-contrast and crisp images. For  
images with low-contrast, edges are added to  
produce a sharper, more detailed picture.  
You can choose from the three DigiPure  
function settings of AUTO, MIN and MAX.  
• If you set the DigiPure effect too high on  
a low-quality picture that contains a lot of  
noise, this may actually make the noise  
worse. We recommend you use the  
AUTO setting if you can.  
You can choose from the three DIGITAL  
VNR function settings of AUTO, MIN and  
MAX.  
AUTO:  
The TV will automatically adjust the level of  
the DIGITAL VNR effect to match the  
amount of noise in the picture, giving you the  
best possible picture.  
• If you set the DIGITAL VNR effect too  
high it can make the picture less sharp. It  
is recommended to use the AUTO setting  
if you can.  
Picture motion compensation  
function:  
This function displays fast-moving pictures  
(for example, the players or ball in a football  
game) more smoothly and naturally on the  
screen.  
• The effect level of the picture motion  
compensation function cannot be  
changed. The effect level is the same no  
matter which of the AUTO, MIN or MAX  
settings is used.  
• AUTO cannot be chosen when you are  
watching the EXT-4 picture.  
MIN:  
The level of the DIGITAL VNR effect is set  
to the minimum. If you set the DIGITAL  
VNR function to AUTO but feel that the  
sharpness of the original picture has not been  
reproduced fully, change the setting from  
AUTO to MIN.  
• The MIN setting is not suitable for low-  
quality pictures which contain a lot of  
noise.  
1 Choose Super DigiPure  
2 Press the 5 buttons to choose a  
MAX:  
setting. Then press the a button  
The level of the DIGITAL VNR effect is set

VNR function to AUTO but still notice some  
noise, change the setting from AUTO to  
MAX.  
• The MAX setting is not suitable for high-  
quality pictures which contain very little  
noise.  
AUTO:  
The TV will automatically adjust the level of  
the DigiPure effect to match the amount of  
noise in the picture, giving the best possible  
picture.

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 39 to change the BLUE  
BACK function setting to OFF.  
• Have you set the SPEAKER function to  
OFF? Follow the description  
“SPEAKER” on page 27 to check the  
“COLOUR SYSTEM” on page 25 to try  
to solve the trouble.  
SPEAKER function setting.  
• Have the COLOUR and BRIGHT settings  
been adjusted properly? Follow the  
description “Picture Adjustment” on  
page 23 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.  
• 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. There is  
nothing wrong with the TV.  
If SPEAKER is not displayed, set to  
SURROUND OFF with the SURROUND  
FEATURES menu and display SOUND  
SETTING again.  
Poor picture  
• If noise (snow) totally blocks 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?

Troubleshooting  
• If you bring magnetised equipment such  
as a speaker near to your TV, the picture  
may be warped or unnatural colours may  
appear at the corners of the screen. In this  
case, keep the equipment away from your  
TV. If speakers cause this to happen, use  
magnetically-shielded speakers instead.  
• A picture may be tilted due to the earth’s  
magnetic field. If so, use the “PICTURE  
TILT” on page 26 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 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.  
• 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.  
• In the twin pictures mode the sub-picture  
may disappear when the external device is  
operated. If this happens, press the P  
button and display the sub-picture again.  
• The headphone volume is adjusted with  
the “HEADPHONE” menu. It cannot be  
adjusted with the 5 buttons or r  
(volume) q buttons.  
Poor sound  
• Have you adjusted BASS or TREBLE  
properly? If not, follow the description  
“Sound Adjustment” on page 27.  
• 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 27 to hear the  
sound more easily by changing it to a  
mono sound.  
If the TV does not respond to the  
remote control  
• 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.  
• If the TV suddenly stops responding,  
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 suddenly turns off, 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.  
• 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.
