Channel numbers 
do not follow the 
channel number 
of the
programs. 

Go to 

TUNER MODE

 in the television menu and select the correct signal source, then perform the

automatic installation again. (Refer to page 15).

Sound

Disturbing sound 
(such as buzzing, 
clicking, cracking, 
humming, whistling, 
etc).

It is normal to hear a disturbing sound (such as buzzing, clicking, cracking, humming, whistling, etc) 
from a distance less than 2 meters (6 feet) with the television sound muted.
If problem occurs on one channel, you may have a signal problem. Please contact the cable provider 
or local broadcaster regarding the specifi c channel.

Sound

Sound is not in 
Stereo.

This could be due to any of the following reasons:

1. Not all transmitted broadcasts by the cable or broadcast stations are in STEREO. Try checking 

with several major network stations to be sure that the station you selected is in STEREO.

2.  When SAP is turned ON, the sound mode is automatically set to MONO.
3.  Sound mode is set to MONO. Set the sound mode to STEREO. (Refer to page 19).

4.  When using an AV input, the television will not display STEREO even though it is producing 

stereo sound. 

General

No power to the 
TV

Check the TV power cord.  Unplug the power cord from the TV, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert 
the plug into your wall outlet. Power On the TV again.

Plug the power cord directly to the wall socket and not via an extension cord.
If you need to use an extension cord, check that the fuse on the AC power strip is not blown.

General

TV is not 
responding to 
Remote Control

Ensure the batteries are inserted into the remote control according to the illustration in the battery 
compartment. Refer to page 6.   

Reset the television by disconnecting the power plug from the wall
outlet for 10 seconds and then reconnecting it again.

General

General

TV Displays white 
lines in letterbox 

when viewing a 
DVD disc

Some DVD Discs are encoded with as much as 30% more video information to give the best 
possible picture quality. With the DVD Player in the “letterbox” picture format, the playback of this 
type of disc with extra video information can produce a number of small white lines in the 
upper portion of the black letterbox area. With some of these discs, this problem is inherent 
and does not require a service call.
