40 Chapter 4
Noisy stereo reception (analog channels only)
May be a weak station. Change the Sound Type to Mono (instructions on page 26).
No picture, no sound but TV is on
Maybe the Signal Source is set wrong. Go to page 11 for more instructions.
You may have the wrong video input channel selected. Use the ANTENNA button to toggle through the available
video input channels.
If the device you’re connected to has “progressive scan” and you aren’t receiving a picture using a component
(Y Pb Pr) connection, you need to change the setting from progressive to interlace. The procedure for changing
this varies. Look for a button on the front of the device (it might be called resolution or display), or see if there
is a switch on the back (it might be labeled “int/prog” or something similar), or the item might be in the menu
system. Consult the user’s guide for instructions.
Sound okay, picture poor (analog channels only)
Check antenna connections. Make sure all of the cables are firmly connected to the jacks.
Try adjusting sharpness to improve weak signals. Go to page 28 for more instructions.
Black box appears on the screen
Closed caption might be on. Check CC in the SETUP menu. Go to page 29 for more instructions.
Problems with Remote Control
The remote control doesn’t work
Something might be between the remote and the remote sensor on the device. Make sure there is a clear path and
point directly at the TV.
Maybe batteries in the remote are weak, dead or installed incorrectly. Put new batteries in the remote.
Problems with Parental Controls
Can’t select a certain channel
The channel may be blocked or not approved through PARENTAL CONTROL SETTINGS.
The rating limits don’t work
You must activate the settings. Go to page 19 for instructions.
I don’t remember my password and I want to unlock the TV
If you forget your password, you can reset it. Make sure the TV is off. Press VOL- on the TV’s front panel and then
CLEAR on the remote for approximately 5 seconds. The TV turns on. Enter a new password next time you access
the PARENTAL CONTROL menu or the TIME menu.
The Parental Controls won’t let me watch a program even though it’s not rated as violent
Maybe the movie was given an NR (Not Rated) status. Check to see if the Exempt Prgms option is Locked. Refer to
page 23 for instructions.
Connection Problems with a DVD Player, Set-top Box etc.
If the device you’re connected to has “progressive scan” and you aren’t receiving a picture using a component
(Y Pb Pr) connection, you need to change the setting from progressive to interlace. The procedure for changing
this varies. Look for a button on the front of the device (it might be called resolution or display), or see if there
is a switch on the back (it might be labeled “int/prog” or something similar), or the item might be in the menu
system. Consult the user’s guide for instructions.
