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,
and the sound is muted. In spite of this, if
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?
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
interference from a radio tower or high-
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.

• 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.

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.

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,
and the sound is muted. In spite of this, if
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?
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
interference from a radio tower or high-
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.

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.

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
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.

Additional preparation
Devices which can output the S-
VIDEO signal (Y/C signal) such as
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 34.
• 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 33.
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.

You can arbitrarily change over the output of
the video/sound signal from the EXT-2
terminal. It is useful when you want to dub
the video/sound from another device on the
VCR connected to the EXT-2 terminal. For
details on how to do this operation, see
“DUBBING” on page 35.
• The output from the AUDIO OUT
terminal is not interrupted by headphone
connection to the TV. You cannot cut the
sound from the front speaker even if you
connect a headphone to the TV.
• Adjust the volume of the external
speakers with the amplifier.

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,
and the sound is muted. In spite of this, if
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?
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
interference from a radio tower or high-
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.
