If a problem arises while you are using the TV, please read this “Troubleshooting” well before you request having the TV repaired.
You may be able to fix it easily by yourself. For example, if the AC plug is disconnected from the AC outlet, or the TV aerial has
problems, you may think there is a problem with the TV itself.
Important:
•
This Troubleshooting guide only covers problems whose cause are not easy to determine. If a question arise when you are
operating a function, read the page(s) corresponding to the operation of the function well, not this Troubleshooting guide.
•
After you have followed the Troubleshooting description or the operating description of the functions concerned without any suc-
cess, remove the AC plug from the AC outlet and request a repair of your TV. Do not attempt to repair the TV by yourself or
remove the rear cover of the TV.

If noise totally obscures the picture (snow), the aerial or aer-
ial cable may have trouble. Check the following to try to
solve the trouble:
Has the TV and aerial been connected properly?
Has the aerial cable been damaged?
Is the aerial pointed to the right direction?
Is the aerial itself faulty?
•
If the TV or aerial receives interference from the other devic-
es, stripes or noise may appear in the picture. Move such
devices as an amplifier, personal computer, or a hair drier
that can cause interference away from your TV, or try
changing its location. If the aerial suffers interference from a
radio tower or high-voltage wire, please contact your local
dealer.
•
If the TV receives interference from signal reflecting from
mountains or building, double-pictures (ghosting) will occur.
Try to change the aerial’s direction or replace the antenna
with the one with better directionality.
•
Are your COLOUR SYSTEM settings correct? Follow the
description “COLOUR SYSTEM” on page 18 to try to solve
the trouble.
•
Has COLOUR or BRIGHT been controlled properly? Follow
the description “Picture Adjustment” on page 17 to try to ad-
just them properly.

Videotaping teletext is not recommended because it may
not record correctly.
•
When a white and bright still image (such as a white dress)
is displayed on the screen, the white part may look as if it
were coloured. It is a phenomenon unavoidable due to the
nature of the picture tube itself, and not due to a TV failure.
When the picture disappears from the screen, the unnatural
colours will also disappear.

If you bring a magnetised device such as a speaker near to
your TV, a picture may be warped or unnatural colors ap-

The TV may emit a crackling sound due to a sudden change
in temperature. It does not matter if a picture or sound does
not show any abnormality. If you hear crackling sounds fre-
quently while you are viewing the TV, other causes may be
assumed. For precautionary purposes, request your service
technician to inspect it.
•
Touching the screen may cause you feel a slight electric
shock due to its static electricity. It is an unavoidable phe-
nomenon due to the construction of the picture tube. It is not
a problem with the TV. You can rest assured that this static
discharge does not have harmful influence over the human
body.
