Fine tune the broadcast reception. Normally the automatic fine tuning (AFT) will give the best possible picture, 
however you can manually fine tune the TV to obtain a better picture reception in case the picture is distorted.

To do this: 
While watching the channel (TV Broadcast) you wish to fine tune, and once you have entered the “Set Up” menu 
as it is explained on page 30 and after selecting the "Manual Programme" option, press OK. Then press

  Improve the sound for individual channels in the case of distortion in mono broadcasts. (Not available when

Sometimes a non standard broadcast signal can cause sound distortion or intermittent sound muting when 
watching mono programmes. The Audio Filter option allows you to reduce this effect.
