[. . . ] RTX 55TV User and installation manual Look Forward cod. 46. 0395. 000 2 INTRODUCTION Dear Customer, The appliance you have purchased is the perfect combination of a television, and a graphic monitor that can be connected to a digital source, typically a computer. It is designed to give you maximum satisfaction and provides all the functions and adjustments necessary to ensure top quality sound and vision in both operating modes. To ensure the equipment is properly installed and used, accordingly, read through this manual carefully and in particular, before operating the appliance, pay special attention to the tips and warnings on the subject of safety and regarding conditions of use. [. . . ] If absolutely necessary, the search can be interrupted at any time by pressing the TV button [21]. Once the automatic procedure has finished, you may wish to personalise the list of channels, for example by changing some of the programme numbers, in which case proceed as indicated in the section "Personalising the List of Channels". Tuning and storing channels manually If you prefer to tune and store channels manually (one at a time), proceed as follows: 1) Press the yellow button [4] to display the Main Settings menu. 2) Scroll through the menu to "Installation" and confirm the selection. 3) Select "System", then select the `transmission standard' used for television broadcasts in your country. Select PALBG for Italian and German channels, etc. . . ; Select SECAM-L for French channels; Select PAL-I for British channels; NTSC etc. . . If you are in doubt, however, select "Auto", as this will ensure that the RTX 55TV recognises the standard automatically during tuning (IMPORTANT: the only valid option for French channels is SECAM-L). In some cases it may not be sufficient to select "Auto" and it will be necessary to specify a transmission standard manually as indicated above. 4) Now scroll through the menu to "Channel Type", and select the "CH" option if you want to tune conventional terrestrial channels, or "S" for channels received via cable (only if you have a connection for cable TV). 5) Scroll through the menu to "Prog. Number" and use the number buttons [2] of the remote control to enter the programme number (two digits, from 01 to 99) you want to assign to the channel. Note: It is good policy to leave programme number `0' free, given that if a video recorder is connected to the aerial socket of the appliance, programme number `0' will be used to store the signal coming from the external source. 6) Scroll through the menu to "AFC" and select "On"; this activates automatic frequency control, ensuring that the strongest available signal is captured. 7) Scroll through the menu to "Channel" and use the number buttons [2] of the remote control to enter the programme number of the channel (two digits) you want to tune. If you do not know the channel number, press and hold button [23] to start searching automatically for the next channel in sequence, or press button [24] for the previous channel in sequence. In this way the system will tune the first channel it finds. 21 If the quality of reception is poor, try varying the reception frequency slightly, as follows: 8) Scroll through the menu to "Fine Tune", which is in the Installation sub-menu, then move the slider one way or the other until the picture and sound are free of interference. 9) If the channel you are tuning broadcasts in two languages (indicated by "Dual I" or "Dual II" on the screen), you can select which of the two languages you wish to listen to by selecting "Dual I" (for the first language) or "Dual II" (for the second language) from the "Dual Language" option. 10)Finally, to save all the settings made in manual mode, scroll through the menu to "Store" and then press button [7]: the message "Store" is displayed for a few seconds to confirm that the settings have been saved. Note 1) To store other channels, repeat the entire procedure described above. 2) Since some of the options in the Installation sub-menu are used only rarely, it is good policy to minimise the number of menu options displayed by scrolling to "Extended menu" and selecting "Off". This limits the Installation sub-menu to just the four most important options, making regular use far quicker and easier. [. . . ] - "SHARPNESS MODE": used to select the type of processing associated with detail control. Advisable selections are "Video" for progressive or interlaced video signals, and "Graphics" for graphic signals received from a PC. - 32 "FREQUENCY/PHASE": these are controls applicable to progressive signals and signals from a computer, which determine the relationship between the number of pixels making up the signal and the number of pixels making up the projected image. It will not normally be necessary to adjust these settings, as the system analyses the incoming signal and applies the most suitable values automatically. All the same, if the image should appear disturbed (loss of resolution between equidistant vertical bands or instability and loss of detail on thin vertical lines), the system can be prompted to re-analyse the input signal and re-calculate the best parameters; this is done by pressing button [12] on the remote control to activate the automatic verification proce- - dure.
