Mitsubishi Electronics WD-57833 Flat Panel Television User Manual


 
84 Appendices
Picture
Symptom Remarks
1. Picture does not look like a high-definition 
picture.
Not all signals are high-definition signals.  To receive high-defini-
tion programming from your cable or satellite provider, you must 
subscribe to the provider’s high-definition service.   Some over-
the-air broadcasts are in high-definition and can be received with 
a high-quality antenna suited to your location.
2. Picture has become dimmer. •  The lamp is nearing the end of its life.  Order a new lamp.  
See Appendix B for ordering information and replacement 
instructions.
•  Adjust picture brightness and contrast to maximum levels.
•  Change Lamp Mode from Standard to Bright.
3. There is a large black or gray rectangle on 
the screen.
The TV’s analog closed captioning has been set to “text” mode 
in the Captions menu.  Turn off because there is no text infor-
mation being broadcast.

TV Power On/Off
Symptom Remarks
1. TV takes an excessively long time to power 
on.
•  When switched on, the TV needs time to boot up, just 
as a computer does.  Also, the TV’s lamp requires a few 
moments to heat up to full brightness.
•  TV Energy Mode is set to Low Power.  Change TV Energy 
Mode to Fast Power On in the Setup menu.
2. You cannot program the TV to turn on auto-
matically (Timer function)
•  The TV may be locked.
•  The clock may not be set.
•  TV Energy Mode is set to Low Power.  Change to Fast 
Power On in Setup menu.
3. The TV will not turn on after being plugged 
in.
If light on front panel is blinking, wait for at least one minute for 
the light to turn off, then press POWER again.
4. TV turned itself off and the light on the front 
panel started to blink.
•  Momentary power fluctuation caused the TV to turn off to 
prevent damage.  Wait for the green light to stop flashing 
and turn the TV on again.
•  If the TV does not stay on, use the System Reset button on 
the front panel.  If this happens frequently, obtain an AC line 
power conditioner/surge protector.
• 
An unusual digital signal may have been received, triggering a 
protection circuit.  Wait for the light to stop flashing and turn TV 
on.
5. TV turned itself off and the STATUS is a 
steady yellow.
•  The TV has overheated.  Clear blocked air vents and ensure 
at least four inches of clearance on all sides of the TV.
•  Clean the lamp-cartridge air filter.  See Appendix B.
6. TV will not power off. Use the System Reset button.
TV Channels
Symptom Remarks
3. Name options are not available for some 
channels.
You can name only memorized analog channels and memorized 
digital channels not named by the broadcaster.
4. When ChannelView list is displayed, informa-
tion appears incomplete
•  Available information is sent from the broadcaster or cable 
provider.  No other data is available.
•  Make sure the TV clock is set correctly.
