Bluetooth Function

Bluetooth ^® is a wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distance between Bluetooth devices. You can connect Bluetooth audio device, mouse or keyboard via the TV.

1. Press ☐ on the remote control to display the homepage, Press ▲/◀/▶ to select ⚙(Settings) > Remotes & Accessories and press OK to enter.
2. Select Add Accessory and press OK to enter. The TV will search nearby Bluetooth devices automatically.

Note: Bluetooth technology (if available in your TV) uses 2.4GHz frequency thus close proximity to WiFi access points, routers or microwave ovens might interfere with Bluetooth audio streaming. If you face interruptions in audio reception, you should restart your Bluetooth device to find frequency with less interferences and if you continue to face issues you should move closer to TV or increase space between TV and source of interferences.

Problems & Solutions

Note: Problems & solutions 1 to 2 are for the TV models which have network functions, so users of non-connected TV models can disregard them.

1. Fail to link to the network.

• Check if your TV is connected with the network;
• Reboot your TV;
• Consult your internet service provider, to confirm if access of your router is supported. Refer to the operation manual of your router, and activate its DHCP function after linking the network to your TV.
• Make sure your TV is connected to a router, and make sure your router is powered on. Check that your router/modem has an internet connection, and that your Ethernet cables/wireless connection is OK. Test your connection with a computer to make sure it is OK. Should the problem persist, contact customer service.
• Check if TV system time is correct or not. Sometimes TV system time is synchronized to the wrong time from abnormal broadcast signal. In this case, please set system time manually.

2. The video could not be played smoothly.

• Videos from your USB flash drive --- It may be caused by abnormal data transmission, or its code rate is far beyond the supported formats of this TV set.
• Videos downloaded from internet, or online videos.

a. It may be caused by the lower bandwidth of your network. A high network speed is required to handle online videos.

b. Peak internet usage times may affect the bandwidth.

c. Check if any other computers on the same network are also operating, as they may be using up bandwidth. Especially if they are downloading or playing online videos.

d. The video may not be smooth itself, it is not the problem of your TV or network.

3. When two portable hard drives are connected with the TV at the same time, they will not be recognized sometimes.

- All portable hard drives consume a lot of power, which may result in power supply problems. We recommend inserting only one hard drive, or a low power consumption portable hard drive.

4. The video from a portable hard drive (USB) is playing with no sound.

- The audio format of the video in your portable hard drive is not supported by the TV player.

5. Some videos fail to play.

- The formats of the videos may not be supported by the TV, especially videos shot by certain kinds of cameras, generally with their private protocol of

formats, which are not compatible with your TV.

6. Video stops playing midway.

- Mistakes may occur when videos are copied or compressed, so they may automatically stop playing during playback.

7. What should I pay attention to, when I do software updating?

• No power cuts when software updating;
• Avoid any operations with your remote control when software updating;
• Depending on your internet connection speed, the software updating process may take some time.

8. There are no distinct changes of TV interface after software updating.

- Under certain conditions, software updating may not only update or add new functions but also improve the performance of the TV set, without distinct changes of interface. Also, there may be no changes to the user interface at all.

9. What should I do when software updating process stops due to a sudden power-off?

- If you do software updating by USB, do not pluck the USB drive from your TV, and restart your TV to continue software updating; If you do software updating by Network, also restart your TV and check if it is functioning correctly.

10. With a USB device being inserted into the TV in advance, I am prompted that no USB devices are detected after I access Media, why?

- There may be something wrong with your portable hard drive(s), damaged or with low voltage. It's recommended to provide an additional power supply to the hard drive(s).

11. External device cannot be recognized.

- Some external devices (e.g. webcam, smart phone, tablet, game handle, and external wireless adapter) may not be compatible with the TV and cannot be supported for certain functions (wireless display, gesture control, face recognition, if any). Please try a similar device. If it does not work, contact your local dealer.

Troubleshooting

Most problems you encounter with your TV can be corrected by consulting the following troubleshooting list.

No picture, no sound

1. Check if the fuse or circuit breaker is working.
2. Plug another electrical device into the outlet to make sure it is working or turned on.
3. Power plug is in a bad contact with the outlet.
4. Check the signal source.

No colour

1. Change the colour system.
2. Adjust the saturation.
3. Try another channel. Black-white program may be received.

Remote control does not work

1. Change the batteries.
2. Batteries are not installed correctly.
3. Main power is not connected.

No picture, normal sound

1. Adjust the brightness and contrast.
2. Broadcasting failure may happen.

Normal picture, no sound

1. Press the VOLUME UP button to increase volume.
2. Volume is set to mute, press the Mute button to restore sound.
3. Change the sound system.
4. Broadcasting failure may happen.

Unorderly ripples on the picture

It is usually caused by local interference, such as cars, daylight lamps and hair driers. Adjust the antenna to minimize the interference.

Snowy dots and interference

If the antenna is located in the fringe area of a television signal where the signal is weak, the picture may be marred by dots. When the signal is extremely weak, it may be necessary to install a special antenna to improve the reception.

1. Adjust the position and orientation of the indoor/outdoor antenna.

2. Check the connection of antenna.

3. Fine tune the channel.

4. Try another channel. Broadcasting failure may happen.

Ignition

Black spots or horizontal streaks appear, or the picture flutters or drifts. This is usually caused by interference from car ignition system, neon lamps, electric drills, or other electrical appliance.

Ghost

Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the direct path, the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills, or other objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve the reception.

Radio frequency interference

This interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks, and in some case, loss of contrast in the picture. Find out and remove the radio interference source.
