Troubleshooting

If a problem occurs when you are using the TV, check the below
troubleshooting guide before calling for repair.

• Deactivate the BLUE BACK function if it is turned on.
• Choose the appropriate sound system. Refer to

“SOUND SYSTEM” on page 14.

• Check the aerial cable and its connection with the TV.

• Interference occurs caused by other devices such as

an amplifier, personal computer, or a hair drier. Move
such devices away from your TV.

• Interference occurs caused by signal reflecting from

mountains or building. Try to adjust the aerial’s
direction or use a better directionality antenna.

• Choose the appropriate colour system. Refer to

“COLOUR SYSTEM” on page 9.

• Adjust the COLOUR or BRIGHT setting. Refer to

“PICTURE SETTING” on page 10.

• Inevitable phenomenon due to the nature of the

picture tube. This is not a malfunction.

• This is due to the condition of the video signal

whereby the image was not recorded properly. This
is not a malfunction.

• Adjust the sound frequency properly. Refer to

“EQUALIZER” on page 15.

• TV channel reception is poor. Change the stereo/

bilingual mode to mono sound (see page 15).

• The batteries may be exhausted. Replace with new

batteries (see page 7).

• Ensure that you are operating the remote less than

seven meters from the front of your TV.

shielded speaker.

• This may due to the earth magnetism. Refer to

“PICTURE TILT” on page 11 to correct the tilt.

• Image required time to stabilize before display. This

is not a malfunction.

• This is due to a sudden change in temperature and it

is not a malfunction. If the crackling sound is too
frequent, request your service technician for
inspection.

and it will not harm the human body. This is not a
malfunction.

• Please check that the AUTO SIGNAL DETECT

function is on or off.

• Press button (VCR or DVD Player) to turn the

machine off and turn it on again; do not turn the
machine off and on suddenly.
