Frequently Asked Questions - TL-26LC740 TechLine

How do I connect my DVD player to the TV?
You can connect via HDMI, SCART, or component (YPbPr). For HDMI, simply plug the cable into HDMI 1 or HDMI 2. For SCART, use a SCART cable and the TV will automatically switch to AV mode. For component, connect the Y, Pb, Pr cables to the side inputs and use an audio cable for sound.
How can I reset the TV to factory settings?
In the Picture menu, select 'Reset' and press OK. This will restore picture settings to default. For a full reset, you can re-run the first time installation via the Install menu.
The remote control is not working. What should I do?
First, check if the batteries are exhausted (replace with new AAA batteries). If still not working, try pointing directly at the TV sensor. You can also use the buttons on the TV itself for basic functions until you replace the remote.
How do I use the teletext function?
Press the 'Teletext/Mix/PAT' button on the remote to enter teletext. Use numeric buttons to select pages, colored buttons for fast text, and 'INFO' to reveal hidden information. Press the Teletext button again to mix with the TV picture or exit.
Can I mount this TV on a wall?
Yes, the TV is VESA compatible (200 x 100 mm). Use a wall mount kit designed for 26-inch LCD TVs. Ensure all cables are connected before mounting. The TV should be securely attached following the installation instructions.
What should I do if there is no picture but sound is working?
Check if the correct input source is selected. Press the 'SOURCE' button to cycle through inputs. Also ensure the aerial or cable is properly connected. If using an external device, check its cables and power.
How do I set the sleep timer?
Press the 'Sleep' button on the remote repeatedly to set the timer from Off to 120 minutes in 10-minute steps. The TV will automatically go to standby when the timer expires.
Why is the picture distorted or zoomed incorrectly?
Press the 'SCREEN' button to cycle through zoom modes (Auto, 16:9, 4:3, etc.). For a correct aspect ratio, use 'Auto' which reads WSS signals. If that fails, manually select the appropriate mode for your content.
The TV turns off after 5 minutes with no signal. Is this normal?
Yes, this is a power-saving feature. When no valid signal is detected for 5 minutes, the TV automatically switches to standby. This is normal and can be disabled if desired (not recommended for safety).
How do I clean the LCD screen?
Unplug the TV. Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe the screen. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners, as they may damage the coating. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water (not wet).

Tips

Image Persistence

Please note that ghosting may occur while displaying a persistent image. LCD TVs' image persistence may disappear after a short time. Try turning off the TV for a while. To avoid this, do not leave the screen in still picture for extended periods.

No Power

If your TV system has no power, please check the main power cable and connection to the mains socket outlet.

Poor Picture

Have you selected the correct TV system? Is your TV set or house aerial located too close to a non-earthed audio equipment or neon lights, etc.?

Mountains or high buildings can cause double pictures or ghost images. Sometimes you can improve the picture quality by changing the direction of the aerial. Is the picture or teletext unrecognisable? Check if you have entered the correct frequency. Please retune the channels. The picture quality may degrade when two peripherals are connected to the TV at the same time. In such a case, disconnect one of the peripherals.

No Picture

Is the aerial connected properly? Are the plugs connected tightly to the aerial socket? Is the aerial cable damaged? Are suitable plugs used to connect the aerial? If you are in doubt, consult your dealer.

No Picture means that your TV is not receiving a transmission. Have you selected the correct button on the remote control? Try once more. Also make sure the correct input source has been selected.

Sound

You can not hear any sound. Did you perhaps interrupt the sound, pressing the "×" button?

Sound is coming from only one of the speakers. Is the balance set to one extreme? See Sound Menu .

Remote Control

Your TV no longer responds to the remote control. Perhaps the batteries are exhausted. If so you can still use the local buttons at the bottom of the TV.

Input Sources

If you cannot select an input source, it is possible that no device is connected.

Check the AV cables and connections if you have tried to connect a device.
