Symptom Remedy
The entered channel number
changes automatically
• Many digital channels have alternate channel numbers. The unit changes the
numbers automatically to the ones signifying the broadcasting stations. These are
the numbers used for analog broadcasts.
Remote control does not work • Check the antenna or cable connection to the main unit.
• Check the batteries of the remote control.
•
Check if there is an obstacle between the infrared sensor window and the remote control.
• Test the signal output. If OK, then possible infrared sensor trouble.
(Refer to “IR Signal Check” on page 26.)
• Aim the remote control directly at the infrared sensor window on the front of the unit.
• Reduce the distance to the unit.
• Re-insert the batteries with their polarities (+/– signs) as indicated.
Problems with Closed Caption Feature
Misspelled captions are
displayed.
• Closed captioning production companies may broadcast programs without
correcting the misspelling in a live broadcast.
Captions are not entirely
displayed, or captions are
delayed behind the dialogue.
•
Captions that are delayed a few seconds behind the actual dialogue are common for
live broadcasts. Most captioning production companies can display a dialogue to a
maximum of 220 words per minute. If a dialogue exceeds that rate, selective editing is
used to insure that the captions remain up-to-date with the current TV screen dialogue.
Captions are displayed as a
white box.
No caption is displayed in the
closed caption-supported
program.
• Interference from buildings or weather conditions may cause captioning to be
incomplete.
• Broadcasting station may shorten the program to insert advertisement. The closed
caption decoder cannot read the information of the shortened program.
No caption is displayed
when playing the videotape
containing captions.
• The videotape may be illegally copied, or the caption signal might not have been
read during copying.
Black box is displayed in the
TV screen.
• The text mode is selected for caption. Select “CAPTION1”, “CAPTION2” or “OFF”.
Note:
• The LCD panel is manufactured to provide many years of useful life. Occasionally a few non active pixels may appear as a fixed point of
blue, green or red. This is not to be considered a defect in the LCD screen.
• Some functions are not available in specific modes, but this is not a malfunction. Read the description in this owner's manual for more
details on correct operations.

• Wipe the front panel and other exterior surfaces of the unit with a soft
cloth immersed in lukewarm water and wrung dry.

Servicing
Should your unit become inoperative, do not try to correct the problem
yourself. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Turn o the unit,
unplug the power cord and call our toll free customer support line found on
the cover of this manual to locate an authorized service center.
IR Signal Check
If the remote control is not working properly, you can use an AM radio or
digital camera (including a cellular phone with built-in camera) to see if it
is sending out an infrared signal.
• With an AM radio:
Tune the AM radio station to a non-broadcasting
frequency. Point the remote control towards it,
push any button and listen. If the sound from
the radio utters, it is receiving the remote
control’s infrared signal.
• With a digital camera
(including built-in cell
phone cameras):
Point a digital camera towards the remote control. Push
any button on the remote control and look through the
digital camera. If the infrared light appears through the
camera, the remote control is working.
