Picture interference from other
equipment

If you have used the aerial lead to connect a video
recorder, satellite receiver or other piece of equipment,
switch the equipment on one piece at a time and

check the picture on all your programmes. The pieces
of equipment that are not switched on must be on
stand-by. If any of your programmes have wavy lines
on the picture when the equipment is switched on,
you will have to change the output frequency of the
equipment. Please read the instruction book for the
equipment to find out how to do this. Change the
output frequency a little at a time (or in 8MHz steps)
and keep checking all your programmes.
When there are no wavy lines (or other interference)
on any of the pictures, re-tune the programme
number that you have chosen for your equipment (see
‘Tuning in the programmes’, on pages 2 to 3).
Do the same for each piece of equipment, but after
you’ve finished with each one, leave it switched on
while you check the next piece of equipment.
Continue until you have all the pieces of equipment
working together without interfering with each other.
If you cannot get rid of the interference, you may
have to connect the equipment with a scart cable, (see
‘How to connect scart cables’ on page 8-9).

Changing channels without leaving
the installation mode

As long as the programme number is not flashing,
you can change channels while the installation menu
is still on the screen.

Please read ‘Switching the television on and off’ on page 2.

adjust: 

a

A

and 

C

(the timer). If you don’t make any adjustments, the menu display will

automatically disappear after 10 seconds.
When there is no symbol shown on the screen, the - button selects the previous
programme number and the + button selects the next programme number.
Volume is for making the sound louder or quieter. Brightness, contrast,
colour and sharpness are picture adjustments. Your television displays a bar to
show the adjustment. Press + to increase the item you are adjusting, and the bar
will get longer. Press – to reduce the item you are adjusting, and the bar will get
shorter.
