PALSONIC CORPORATION PTY LTD 1 JOYNTON AVENUE WATERLOO NSW 2017 AUSTRALIA TEL:(02)9313 7111 FAX:(02)9313 7555 www. palsonic. com. au PALSONIC CUSTOMER SERVICE TELEPHONE AUSTRALIA:1300 657 888 This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet the highest international standards, but, like any electrical apparatus which is operated at mains voltage, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured. DO DO read this handbook carefully and keep it handy for ready reference. [. . . ] * The most important button on the Remote Control is Button (14) (the blank screen symbol). If anything goes wrong, push (14) and you go back to TV with the channel number showing on the screen to tell you where you are. * If you push a button that asks the set to do something impossible, it shows a short yellow dash on the screen. * If you push the Teletext button (15) (the screen symbol with lines) on a station that is not sending Teletext, you get a black screen with a white number at the top and coloured numbers at the bottom. If this is all you get, it probably means that the TV station is not sending Teletext. * There is no need to look at a blank screen while you are waiting, Push the MIX button (17) and watch the TV with Teletext mixed on top. If you enter "801" on the keypad by pressing "8" then "0" then "1" in turn; Teletext will search for that page. The number 801 is entered in the black &white section at the top of the screen and echoed in the black & red number at the bottom. * If you press the buttons and the number ends up wrong, do not worry. Just press "8" until it appears as the first number and try again. * If the station is not sending Teletext, the numbers will return to 100. * If the station is sending subtitles, the number "801" will remain and subtitles will appear on the screen eventually. It may take a minute or so, depending on how many pages are being sent, This varies with each station. * If you press the Teletext button (15) again, you may see a number alongside the original black & white number that you entered, counting up one at a time. This means that Teletext is trying to match your page number, If the three numbers are all the same, then it means that it has found the subtitle page (801) but that no subtitles are available. Each station has its own way of presenting Teletext and this is sometimes confusing. This does not mean that the set is faulty; just that the station is not sending a Teletext signal. If the set is working correctly, it shows a black screen with the numbers on it. If you have a weak and noisy signal with interference, all you will get is a black screen with the two numbers. On Channel 7 with the Austext presentation, you may see half a page with false letters and missing lines. If you are using an 9 * * * * * * * indoor antenna, try moving it around. You will not be able to change channels unless you exit Teletext first. [. . . ] NOTE: When you watch TELETEXT program, us the "+ -" button to adjust brightness level. 14 CONNECTING A VCR TO THE TV SET This TV set has AUDIO/VIDEO input and output sockets on the back panel which allow direct connection to a VCR using the AV Button (13). The direct Video/Audio connection bypasses the antenna circuitry and allows for better quality recordings and easier operation, but like all high-technology it gets complicated. OUT Sockets These sockets take the signal OUT of the TV set and feed it TN to the VCR. Most VCR's have their own Tuner built in and do not need the TV set to tune the TV channel for them. [. . . ]
