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.

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 28 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?

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

“PICTURE TILT (not AV28R25EK/

AV28R250EK)” on page 21 to correct the

tilt.

• 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.

„ 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.

„ 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.

• 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
