the fact that you will not hear the sound normally when

the TV detects a TV channel. In this case, retry to set the

SYSTEM again correctly so that no problem arises.

Note:

ADDITIONAL MENU OPERATIONS

I Using the ACI function

This TV has an ACI function which decodes the ACI (auto-

matic Channel Installation) data.

I Downloading the data to VCR

You can transmit to the latest Programme numbers (PR) data

to the VCR with the T-V LINK function.

Using the ACI function allows all TV channels transmitted

from the cable TV station to be properly registered quickly ac-

cording to the data from the cable TV station.

Caution:

• Only when the T-V LINK compatible VCR is connected to

the EXT-2 terminal, this operation is enabled.

Caution:

• Only when the T-V LINK menu is being displayed, this oper-

ation is enabled.

• If your cable TV station broadcasts ACI data and if “ACI

I Connecting the external devices

Connect the devices to the TV, paying attention to the follow-

ing connection diagram.

Behind the Cover

Before connecting anything:

• Read the manuals provided with the devices. Depending

on the devices, the connection method may differ from

the figure. In addition, the device settings may be

changed depending on the connection method to secure

proper operation.

• Turn off all the devices including the TV.

• The “SPECIFICATIONS” on page 35 contains the details

of the EXT terminals. If you are connecting a device not

listed in the following connection diagram, see the table

to choose the best EXT terminal.

• Note that connecting cables are not supplied.

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 in-

put)” on page 19.

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.

Note:

• 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 “Us-

ing the DECODER (EXT-2) function” on page 28.

Connecting headphones

Connect the headphones with a stereo mini-jack (of 3.5mm in

diameter) to the headphone jack at the TV front panel.

Note:

• When you connect the headphones, the TV speakers is-

sue no sound.

Video/sound signal output from the

EXT-2 terminal

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 con-

nected to the EXT-2 terminal. For details on how to do this op-

eration, see “DUBBING” on page 20.

TV output from the EXT-1 terminal

The output of video/sound signal of a TV channel you are cur-

rently viewing is always output from the EXT-1 terminal.

Note:

• 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.

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 sta-

tion, 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

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 suc-

cess, 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.

• Videotaping teletext is not recommended because it may

not record correctly.

• Is the AC plug connected to the AC outlet?

• When a white and bright still image (such as a white dress)

• Is the Power lamp lit? If not, press the Main power button.

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.

No picture/No sound

• Have you chosen a TV channel whose reception is extreme-

ly bad? In this case, the BLUE BACK function will be activat-

ed, 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 21 to try to change the

BLUE BACK function setting to OFF.

• 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 dis-

torted. This is due to the condition of the video signal, and

not because of malfunction.

• Have you connected the headphones to the TV? Connect-

ing the headphones to the TV causes sounds not to be is-

sued from the TV speakers.

Poor sound

• Have you adjusted BASS or TREBLE properly? If not, follow

the description “Sound Adjustment” on page 18 to try to ad-

just them properly.

• 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 24 to use the MANUAL function to

try to change the SYSTEM setting.

• 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 18 to hear the sound

more easily by changing it to a mono sound.

Poor picture

• If noise totally obscures the picture (snow), the aerial or aer-

ial cable may have trouble. Check the following to try to

TROUBLESHOOTING

Other concerns

• When the SLEEP TIMER function operates, the TV is auto-

matically 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 receiv-

ing 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.

• If you bring a magnetised device such as a speaker near to

your TV, a picture may be warped or unnatural colors ap-

pear at the corners of the screen. In this case, keep the de-

vice apart from your TV. If the speakers causes such

phenomena, use the magnetic-shielded speakers instead.

• 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 fre-

quently 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 phe-

nomenon 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.
