Troubleshooting
Troubles sometimes are caused by simple faults that you can correct without the help of a service technician. If you
experience any difficulty with your TV, check a few basic remedies before calling your service technician.
TV will not turn on
Check to make sure it is plugged in.
Check the wall receptacle (or extension cord) to make sure it is live by plugging in something else.
Maybe batteries in remote control are dead.
Maybe remote control is not aimed at remote sensor.
The front panel controls may be locked (disabled). Use the remote control to unlock the front panel controls by
selecting the Front Panel Block in the Parental Controls menu and choosing Unblock.
Controls dont work
If using remote control, make sure remote is in TV mode by first pressing TV button.
The front panel MENU button may be disabled. Use the remote control to turn off channel blocking. Select
Front Panel Block in the Parental Controls menu and choose Unblock.
Try unplugging set for two minutes and then plug it back in and turn it on again.
Problems with remote
Maybe something is between the remote and the remote sensor.
Maybe the remote is not aimed directly at the component (TV or VCR) you are trying to control.
Maybe remote is not in TV Mode. Press the TV button so remote will control TV.
Maybe batteries in remote are weak, dead or installed incorrectly. Try replacing batteries. (Note, if you remove
the batteries, you may have to reprogram the remote to control other components.)
Remove batteries and hold number 1 for at least 60 seconds to drain the microprocessor inside the remote.
Release number 1, replace the batteries, and (if necessary) reprogram the remote.
Guide comes on when I turn on TV
The Guide automatically comes up when you use the TV button on the remote to turn on the TV. You can turn
off this feature by pressing GUIDE on your remote control and then press MENU to select the Menu bar. Press the
right arrow to select Setup. Choose Review Options and then select OFF.
Turns off while playing
Schedule off function may have been activated.
Electronic protection circuit may have been activated because of a power surge. Wait 30 seconds and then turn
on again. If this happens frequently, the voltage in your house may be abnormally high or low.
Unplug. Wait five minutes. Plug in again.
TV turns on unexpectedly
Scheduled On or Watch from the Guide may have been activated.
Blank screen
Maybe the component connected to the input jacks is not turned on.
Try another channel.
Press RESET, in case the picture controls are set too low.
PIP not available
If the PIP window is displayed, and you change the PIP input (by pressing WHOINPUT) to COMP2, PIP is not
displayed.
If you press the PIP button while viewing COMP2, the PIP window is not available and cannot be seen.
