Glossary
Poor reception The proximity of mountains or high buildings may be responsible for ghost
pictures, echoing or shadows. In this case, try manually adjusting your picture:
see Finetune (p.9) or modify the orientation of the outside aerial. If you are
using an indoor aerial, reception may be difcult in certain conditions. You can
improve reception by rotating the aerial. If the reception remains poor, you
will need to use an external aerial
No picture Have you connected the aerial socket properly ? Have you chosen the right
system? (p.10). Poorly connected euroconnector cables or aerial sockets are
often the cause of picture or sound problems (sometimes the connectors can
become half disconnected if the TV Monitor set is moved or turned). Check all
connections.
No sound If on certain channels you receive a picture but no sound, this means that you
do not have the correct TV Monitor system. Modify the System setting (p.10).
The am plier connected to the TV Monitor does not deliver any sound?
Check that you have not confused the audio output with the audio input.
PC mode
don’t work ?
Check that you have congured the computer on a compatible display
resolution (see p.8).
Remote control
The TV Monitor set does not react to the remote control; the indicator on the
set no longer ashes when you use the remote control? Replace the battery.
Standby If the set receives no signal for 30 mins, it automatically goes into standby
mode. To save power, your set is tted with components that give it a very
low power consumption when in standby mode (less than 1 W).
Cleaning the
set
Only use a clean, soft and lint-free cloth to clean the screen and the casing of
your set. Do not use alcohol-based or solvent-based products.
Still no results? Disconnect the mains plug of the TV Monitor for 30 seconds then reconnect it.
If your TV Monitor set breaks down, never attempt to repair it yourself: contact ’s
your dealer after-sales service.
VGA (Video Graphics Array): a common stan-
dard graphics display system for PCs.
RGB signals : These are the three video signals,
Red Green Blue, which make up the picture.
Using these signals improves picture quality.
S-VHS Signals: These are 2 separate Y/C video
signals from the S-VHS and Hi-8 recording stan-
dards.The luminance signals Y (black andwhite)
and chrominance signals C (colour) are recorded
separately on the tape.This provides better
picture quality than with standard video(VHS and
8 mm) where the Y/C signals are combined to
provide only one video signal.
NICAM sound: Process by which digital sound can
be transmitted.
System: Television pictures are not broadcast in
the same way in all countries. There are different
standards: BG, DK, I, and L L’. The System setting
(p.10) is used to select these different standards. This
is not to be confused with PAL or SECAM colour
coding. Pal is used in most countries in Europe,
Secam in France, Russia and most African countries.
The United States and Japan use a different system
called NTSC. The input EXT is used to read NTSC
coded recordings.
16:10: Refers to the ration between the length and
height of the screen. Wide screen televisions have
a ration of 16/10, conventional screen TV Monitor
sets have aration of 4/3.
