Troubleshooting
• When you are viewing a teletext progra-
mme, you cannot operate the menus.
Press the TV/VIDEO button to return the
teletext programme to the ordinary TV
programme to try operating the menus.
• Is the CHILD LOCK function set to ON?
If the CHILD LOCK function is set to ON,
you cannot operate the TV with the front
control buttons of the TV. Follow the
description "CHILD LOCK" on page 26 to
try to set the CHILD LOCK function to OFF.
• If the TV operation becomes disabled
suddenly, press the Main power button
on the TV and turn off the main power.
Try to press the Main power button again
to turn on the main power. If the TV
returns to a normal state, it is not a
failure.
• The following functions do not operate
when receiving Progressive Video Signal
(525P signal);
Remote control function:
ZOOM, PIP, MULTI, FREEZE and
STROBE BUTTON
MENU function:
SHARP,
TINT, DIGITAL VNR, Digipure
and ZOOM
Other concerns
• When the SLEEP TIMER function or
AUTO SHUTOFF function operates, the
TV is automatically turned off.
If the TV is turned off suddenly, try to
press the POWER button to turn on the
TV once again. At this time, if the TV
resumes a normal state, there is no
problem.
• If you do not want sound emitted from
the TV’s speakers when using
headphones, change the TV SPEAKER
setting in the HEADPHONE menu to OFF.
For details, see “HEADPHONE” on page
25.
• When a white and bright still image (su-
ch 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.
• When viewing images from commercially
available video softwear products, or vi-
deos from videotapes which have been
recored improperly, the top of the image
may be distored.
This is due to the condition of the video
signal, and not because of malfunction.
Poor sound
• Have you adjusted BASS or TREBLE
properly? If not, follow the description
"Adjusting the Sound" on page 24 to try
to adjust them properly.
• When the TV channel reception is poor, it
can be hard to hear the stereo or
bilingual sound. In this case, follow the
description "STEREO / I • II" on page 24
to hear the sound more easily by
changing it to a mono sound.
Operation disabled
• Have the batteries of the remote control
become exhausted?
Follow the description "Putting the
Batteries into the Remote Control" on
page 4 and replace them with new
batteries to try solve the problem.
• Have you attempted to use the remote
control at the sides or rear of the TV or at
a location more than seven meters apart
from the TV location? Operate the remote
control in the front of your TV or a
location less than seven meters from
your TV to try to solve the ploblem.
