errors on the screen, unplug the unit for approx-
imately 30 minutes.
When you plug the unit again,
the degaussing circuit will operate to clear errors.
Take this step any time the TV screen is accidental-
ly magnetized or when you move the unit.

test if the remote control sends out the infrared sig-
nal with AM radio or a digital camera (including

Tune an AM radio to a station with no broadcast-
ing. Press any button on remote control toward
the radio. Sound will be flutter-
ing when you press any key
and the radio receives the sig-
nal. This means the remote
control unit is working.

ing built-in camera of cellular
phone):

remote control, press and hold
any button on remote control. If
infrared light appears through digital
