Tips
Poor or no picture:
Is your TV set located too close to loudspeakers, unearthed audio equipment or
neon lights, etc.? Is the aerial connected properly? Are the plugs tightly
connected to the aerial socket and are the connection facilities to any other
installed TV in good condition?
Remote control is not working properly:
Probably the batteries are flat, replace the batteries.
No solution
Switch your TV off and on again with the POWER button. Never attempt to repair
a defective TV set yourself. Switch off the TV and call your dealer or TV-
technician when nothing helps or when:
– A white horizontal stripe appears across the whole screen.
– The red lamp below the screen starts blinking when no buttons are pressed on
the remote control.
