Additional preparation

Connecting external equipment
Connect the equipment to the TV, making the correct rear panel and front panel connections. Before connecting anything: Read the manuals that came with the equipment. Depending on the equipment, the connection method may be different from the diagram. Also, the equipment settings may need to change depending on the connection method. Turn off all the equipment including the TV. The Specifications on page 50 give the details of the EXT terminals. If you are connecting equipment not listed in the following connection diagram, see the table to choose the best EXT terminal. Connecting cables are not supplied. 1 VCR (composite signal) 2 VCR (composite signal/S-VIDEO signal) 3 T-V LINK compatible VCR (composite signal/S-VIDEO signal) 4 Decoder 5 DVD player (composite signal/S-VIDEO signal) 6 DVD player (composite signal/RGB signal) 7 DVD player (component video signals; Y/Pb/Pr) 8 DVD player (digital video signals) 9 TV game (composite signal/RGB signal) 0 TV game (composite signal) - Headphones = Camcorder (composite signal) ~ Computer (analogue RGB signal) !

Equipment which can output the S-VIDEO signal (Y/C signal) such as an S-VHS VCR
Connect the equipment to an EXT-2 terminal. You can choose between an S-VIDEO signal (Y/C signal) and a regular video signal (composite signal). For details of how to operate the equipment, see S-IN (S-VIDEO input) on page 37.
TV output from the EXT-1 terminal
The video/sound signal of a TV channel you are viewing is always output from the EXT-1 terminal. 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. 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. When you connect the decoder to the VCR, after you have stored TV channels in the programme numbers (PR) list, set the DECODER (EXT-2) function for the programme number (PR) to ON to unscramble a scrambled TV channel. For details, see DECODER (EXT-2) on page 36.
Connecting to the computer
Connect the D-SUB cable with DVI-I-DSUB convert adapter from the computers analogue RGB output terminal to the DVI terminal on the back of the TV. If you want to listen to the sound from the computer, use an audio cable to connect the VIDEO-3 AUDIO L/R sound input terminal to the computers sound output terminal. When the sound from the computer is mono, connect to the VIDEO-3 AUDIO L terminal. To watch images from a computer, start the computer and press the G or p p buttons to choose PC. Refer to the computers manual for a detailed explanation of the connections at the computer side. Ensure that the connectors are facing the correct way when connecting. After connecting the D-SUB cable with DVI-I-D-SUB convert adapter, tighten the two screws to fix the connector in place. Digital output with a DVI cable is not supported.

Poor sound

Have you adjusted BASS or TREBLE properly? If not, follow the description BASS or TREBLE on page 28. When TV channel reception is poor, it can be hard to hear stereo or bilingual sound.

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. 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 fault. This is the time needed 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.

Troubleshooting The top of the TV and the screen may become hot during use but this has no affect on the performance of the TV. Make sure that the ventilation holes are not blocked. When the picture is unstable, the screen may become white for a moment. This happens when the signal which drives the liquid crystal is missing. This is not a fault. When a still image has been displayed for a long period, a faint residual image may remain on the screen for a short time after the power has been turned off or when another image is displayed. This is not a fault and the image will eventually disappear.
