Troubleshooting

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

• Colour patches appear 

at the corner of the 
screen

• This may due to the magnetized device such as a 

speaker near to your TV. Keep the device apart from 
your TV. Alternately, you can also use the magnetic-
shielded speaker.

•  Picture is tilted

• This may due to the earth magnetism. Refer to 

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

•  Image takes a short 

period to be displayed

• Image required time to stabilize before display. This 

is not a malfunction.

•  TV may emit crackling 

sound 

• 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.

•  Feel a slight electric 

shock when touching 
the TV screen

•  This is due to the static electricity of the picture tube 

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

• The Auto Signal 

Detect function does 
not work

• Please check that the AUTO SIGNAL DETECT 

function is on or off.

• Turn the VCR or DVD player off, wait a while, then 

turn it on again.

• Inspect the video cable connection on VIDEO-2 that 

they are connected properly.

•  Suddenly, a channel  

or  input  was 
changed to VIDEO-2 
inputs.

•  Some VCRs and DVD players can trigger Auto Signal 

Detect even after you choose a different input.

• Please turn off the AUTO SIGNAL DETECT 

function.

•  “PLEASE 

DISCONNECT 
VIDEO-1 CABLE!” 
appears on the 
screen.

•  Please disconnect either S-VIDEO cable or video input 

cable from Video-1 input.

•  No picture, no sound •  Deactivate the BLUE BACK function if it is turned on.

• Choose the appropriate sound system. Refer to 

“SOUND SYSTEM” on page 14.

• Snowy picture

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

•  Stripes appear on the 

picture

•  Interference occurs caused by other devices such as 

an ampli

fi

 er, personal computer, or a hair drier. Move 

such devices away from your TV.

• Double-pictures 

(ghosting) occur

• Interference occurs caused by signal reflecting 

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

• Poor picture

• 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.

•  White and bright still 

image look as if it 
were coloured

•  Inevitable phenomenon due to the nature of the picture 

tube. This is not a malfunction.

•  Top of the image from 

software products or 
video tape is distorted

•  This is due to the condition of the video signal whereby 

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

• Poor sound

• Adjust the sound frequency properly. Refer to 

“EQUALIZER” on page 15. 

•  Stereo or bilingual 

sound is unclear

• TV channel reception is poor. Change the stereo/

bilingual mode to mono sound (see page 15).

•  Cannot operate the 

remote control

• The batteries may be exhausted. Replace with new 

batteries (see page 7).

• Ensure that you are operating the remote control at 

less than seven meters from the front of your TV. 

•  Cannot operate the 

menus

•  Press TV/VIDEO button to return to TV mode and try 

operating the menus.

•  Cannot operate the 

front control buttons

•  Deactivate the CHILD LOCK function if it is turned on 

(see page 17).
