CHECK

• Perhaps you have experienced a blown circuit breaker or fuse or a power outage.
• The antenna could be disconnected.
• The input mode (TV or Video) could not be set properly, refer to page 17.
• The tuner mode (in the Auto Tuner Setup) could be set improperly, refer to page 10.
• The station may be having difficulties, check to see if other channels are operating
normally.
• Check that the batteries are still working and properly installed.
• Make sure there are no objects blocking a clear path from the remote to the TV.
• Maybe you are too far from the TV, you must be within 7m.
• Make sure the channels are programmed. See Channel Summary, page 14.
• Perhaps the channel is locked, select it with the 10 key pad and follow instructions,
on page 14.
• Perhaps the On/Off Timer is set, press the POWER button, check page 13.

CHECK
• Tint and color may be improperly adjusted. Check page 11.

• There could be interference from another energy consuming appliance, such as a
computer, another TV or VCR. Move any other such appliances farther away from
the TV.
• There could be interference from a running high wattage appliance such as a hair-dryer,
vacuum cleaner, or neon sign. You will have to move the antenna away from the source
of the interference or change it to a coaxial cable which is less prone to interference.
• A building or airplane can reflect the original signal producing a second, delayed
one. Adjust the antenna position.
• The antenna may be damaged, disconnected or turned. Check the antenna con-
nection, page 3 and page 4. If it is damaged, you will have to replace it.

DON’T WORRY ABOUT THIS, IT’S NORMAL
• It is normal to feel a surge of static electricity if you brush over or touch the screen.
• It is normal for the TV to emit crackling sounds when turned on or off. Unless the
sound or picture become abnormal, this is fine.
