PICTURE FEATURES DIGITAL VNR Super DigiPure COLOUR SYSTEM MOVIE THEATRE 4:3 AUTO ASPECT COLOUR MANAGEMENT PIP BACK TV

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. 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. 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. 1 Choose Super DigiPure 2 Press the 5 buttons to choose a setting. Then press the a button 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. AUTO cannot be chosen when you are watching the EXT-4 picture. MIN: The level of DigiPure effect is set to the minimum. When you set the Super DigiPure function to AUTO and notice some noise, change the setting from AUTO to MIN. The MIN setting is not suitable for high-quality pictures which contain very little noise. MAX: The level of DigiPure effect is set to the maximum. If you set the Super DigiPure function to AUTO but feel that the original picture quality has not been reproduced fully, change the setting from AUTO to MAX. The MAX setting is not suitable for low-quality pictures which contain a lot of noise. OFF: The Super DigiPure function is turned off.

A.H.B. (Active Hyper Bass)
Used when you want to emphasize the bass sound. ON: This function is turned on. OFF: This function is turned off.

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 you cannot turn on the TV
Is the AC plug on the power cord from the TV is connected to an AC outlet? Make sure you set the VCR/TV/DVD switch to the TV position. You cannot turn the TV on when the VCR/TV/ DVD switch is set to the VCR or DVD position.

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 you cannot turn off the TV
Make sure you set the VCR/TV/DVD switch to the TV position. You cannot turn the TV off when the VCR/TV/ DVD switch is set to the VCR or DVD position.
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 5 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, disconnect the power cord of the TV from the AC outlet. Connect them to the AC outlet again to turn on the TV. If the TV returns to a normal state, it is not a failure.

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 change the BLUE BACK function setting to OFF. Have you set the SPEAKER function to OFF? Follow the description SPEAKER on page 21 to check the SPEAKER function setting. If the SYSTEM setting for a TV channel is incorrect, it may prevent the sound from being heard. Follow the description EDIT/MANUAL on page 28 to use the MANUAL function to try to change the SYSTEM setting.

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? 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 aerials direction or replace it with one with better directionality. Are your COLOUR SYSTEM settings correct? Follow the description COLOUR SYSTEM on page 20 to try to solve the trouble. Have the COLOUR and BRIGHT settings been adjusted properly? Follow the description Picture Adjustment on page 18 to try to adjust them properly. Videotaping teletext is not recommended because it may not record correctly. 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.

Other concerns

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 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. In the twin pictures mode the sub-picture may disappear when the external device is operated. If this happens, press the R button and display the sub-picture again. The headphone volume is adjusted with the HEADPHONE menu. It cannot be adjusted with the r (volume) q buttons. 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. 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.
