24Troubleshooting If a problem arises while you are using the TV, please read this troubleshooting guide carefully before you ask to have the TV repaired. You may be able to fix it easily by yourself. For example, if the mains plug is disconnected from the mains outlet, or the TV aerial has problems, you may think there is a problem with the TV itself. Important:

• This troubleshooting guide only covers problems whose causes are not easy to decide. If you have a question when you are operating a function, read the page(s) for that function carefully, not this troubleshooting guide.

• If you follow the advice in this troubleshooting guide without any success, unplug the mains plug and ask for your TV to be repaired. Do not attempt to repair the TV by yourself or to remove the rear cover of the TV. If you cannot turn on the TV

• Are the AC plug on the power cord from the TV is connected to AC outlet?

• Make sure to set the VCR/TV/DVD switch to the TV position. You cannot turn the TV on when the VCR/TV/ DVD switch is set to the VCR or DVD position. If you cannot turn off the TV

• Make sure to set the VCR/TV/DVD switch to the TV position. You cannot turn the TV off when the VCR/TV/ DVD switch is set to the VCR or DVD position. No picture

• Have you chosen a TV channel with very poor reception? If so, the NOISE MUTING function will be activated: the entire screen becomes blue, and the sound is muted. If you still want to view the TV channel, follow the description “NOISE MUTING” on page 17 to change the NOISE MUTING function setting to OFF. Poor picture

• If noise (snow) totally blocks out the picture, there may be a problem with the aerial or aerial cable. Check the following to try to solve the problem: –Have the TV and aerial been connected properly? –Has the aerial cable been damaged? –Is the aerial pointing in the right direction? –Is the aerial itself faulty?

• If the TV or aerial suffers interference from other equipment, stripes or noise may appear in the picture. Move any equipment such as an amplifier, or a h

drier, that can cause interference away from your TV. Or try moving the TV. If the aerial suffers interference from a radio tower or high-voltage wire, please contact your local dealer.

• If the TV suffers interference from signals reflecting from mountains or buildings, double-pictures (ghosting) will occur. Try to change the aerial’s direction or replace it with one with better directionality.

• Have the COLOR and BRIGHT settings been adjusted properly? Follow the description “Picture Adjustment” on page 15 to try to adjust them properly.

• Videotaping teletext is not recommended because it may not record correctly.

• When viewing images from commercially available video software products, or videos from videotapes which have been recorded improperly, the top of the image may be distorted. This is due to the condition of the video signal. There is nothing wrong with the TV. Poor sound

• Have you adjusted BASS or TREBLE properly? If not, follow the description “Sound Adjustment” on page 16. If the TV does not respond to the remote control

• Have the batteries of the remote control worn out? Follow the description “Putting the batteries into the Remote control” on page 7 and replace them with new batteries.

• Have you attempted to use the remote control from the sides or rear of the TV or from more than seven meters away from the TV? Use the remote control in the front of your TV or from less than seven meters away.

• If the TV suddenly stops responding, disconnect the power cord of the TV from the AC outlet. Connect them to the AC outlet again to turn on the TV. If the TV returns to a normal state, it is not a failure. ENGLISH 25Troubleshooting Other concerns

• When the SLEEP TIMER function operates, the TV is automatically turned off. If the TV suddenly turns off, try to press the standby button to turn on the TV once again. If the TV goes back to normal, there is no problem.

• It takes a short period of time from the time an operation such as changing channels is performed until an image is displayed. This is not a malfunction. This is the time required for the image to stabilize before it can be displayed.

• The TV may make a crackling sound due to a sudden change in temperature. The picture or sound may be normal. If you hear crackling sounds frequently while you are viewing the TV, there may be other causes. As a precaution, ask your service technician to inspect it.

• The top of the TV and the screen may become hot during use but this has no affect on the performance of the TV. Ensure that the ventilation holes are not blocked.

• When the picture is unstable, the screen may become white for a moment. This occurs when the signal which drives the liquid crystal is missing. This is not a malfunction.

• When a still image has been displayed for a long period, a faint residual image may remain on the screen for a short time after the power has been turned off or when another image is displayed. This is not a malfunction and the image will eventually disappear.

• When the correct picture has not been displayed on screen, the following error messages will display on screen. NO SIGNAL - TV recived no signal from PC, you may check your PC is working correctly or not. CABLE NO INSERT - The cable is not connected correctly. OUT OF RANGE - The picture resolution is out of limit. Ensure that the cable is connected correctly. Ensure that the PC picture resolution is set correctly. 26ENGLISH
