Problems and Solving Tips (related to CSM)
Note: Below described problems are all related to the TV
settings (visible in the CSM menu). The procedures to change
the value (or status) of the different settings are described
above. New value(s) are automatically stored.
5.3.1
Picture Problems
Snowy/noisy picture
1.
Check in CSM line NOISE FIGURE. In case the value is
"127" or higher, and the value is also high on other
programs, check the aerial cable/aerial system. For some
software versions, the noise figure will only be valid when
“Active Control” is set to “medium” or “maximum”.
2.
Check in CSM lines SHARPNESS and NOISE FIGURE. In
case the value of line SHARPNESS is "3" or "4" and the
value of line NOISE FIGURE is high ("127" or higher),
decrease the "Sharpness” value.
Picture too dark
1.
Press “Menu”, “TV”, “Picture”, “Smart Picture”. In case the
picture improves, increase the “Brightness” or the
“Contrast” value. The new value(s) are automatically
stored (in “personal” pre-set) for all TV channels.
2.
Check in CSM line BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST. If the
value of these lines is low (< "10"), increase the
“Brightness” or the “Contrast” value via the user menu.
Picture too bright
1.
Press “Menu”, “TV”, “Picture”, “Smart Picture”. In case the
picture improves, decrease the “Brightness” or the
“Contrast” value. The new value(s) are automatically
stored (in “personal” pre-set) for all TV channels.
2.
Check in CSM lines BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST. If the
value of these line is high (> 50), decrease the “Brightness”
value or increase the “Contrast” value via the user menu.
White line around picture elements and text
1.
Press “Menu”, “TV”, “Picture”, “Smart Picture”. In case the
picture improves, decrease the “Sharpness” value. The
new value is automatically stored (in “personal” pre-set) for
all TV channels.
2.
Check in CSM line “Sharpness”. If the value is high,
decrease it. The new value is automatically stored for all
TV channels.
No picture
Check in CSM line TUNED BIT. In case the value is “No”, install
the required program again. Open the installation menu and
perform manual installation.
No picture
No proper signal is received. Check the aerial cable/aerial
system.
