Troubleshooting

Poor sound

• Have you adjusted BASS or TREBLE 

properly? If not, follow the description 
“Sound Adjustment” on page 21.

• When TV channel reception is poor, it can 

be hard to hear stereo or bilingual sound. 

In this case, follow the description 
“STEREO / I • II” on page 21 to hear the 
sound more easily by changing it to a 

mono sound.

„

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 6 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 metres away from 

the TV? Use the remote control in the 
front of your TV or from less than seven 
metres away.

• When you are viewing a teletext 

programme, you cannot operate the 
menus. Press the 

b

 button to return to 

the ordinary TV programme, and then try 
operating the menus.

• If the TV will not respond suddenly, press 

the main power button on the TV and turn 
off the main power. Press the main power 

button again to turn on the TV. If the TV 
returns to a normal state, it is not a failure.

„

Other issues

• When the SLEEP TIMER function 

operates, the TV is automatically turned 
off. If the TV is turned off suddenly, try to 
press the 

#

 (standby) button to turn on 

the TV once again. If the TV goes back to 
normal, there is no problem.

• When the TV is receiving a wide-screen 

signal (WSS) or a signal from an external 
device affecting the screen size, the 

ZOOM mode automatically changes. 
When you want to resume the previous 
ZOOM mode, press the 

c

 button 

again.

• If you bring a magnetised equipment such 

as a speaker near to your TV, the picture 
may be warped or unnatural colours now 

appear at the corners of the screen. In this 
case, keep the equipment away from your 
TV. If speakers cause this to happen, use 

magnetic-shielded speakers instead.

• A picture may be tilted due to the earth’s 

own magnetic field. If so, use the 
“PICTURE TILT (not AV28R25EK/
AV28R250EK)” on page 21 to correct the 

tilt.

• 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.

• Touching the screen may cause you to 

feel a slight electric shock due to its static 

electricity. This is unavoidable due to the 
construction of the picture tube. It is not a 
problem with the TV. You can rest 
assured that this static discharge is not 

harmful.
