• Check that the selected switch is set to “TV.”
• Be no more than 20 feet from the TV when using the remote control.
• Program the remote control to operate the TV (Appendix D).
2.
The TV takes several seconds to respond.
• It is normal for digital channels to take longer to tune in.
• Press ENTER after a channel number to avoid delays.
• Use a 4-digit number for an over-the-air digital channel.
• Use a 6-digit number for digital cable channels (your cable service must be able
to recognize 6-digit channel numbers).

CableCARD™ service.
On the remote control, press TV MENU and then enter the numbers 999
to display the Host ID and CableCARD™ ID information.
4.
You cannot access a channel.
• Use number keys instead of CHANNEL up/down.
• Be sure the channel you want to view is in memory. See page 67.
• Check that the TV is turned to the correct device or antenna for that channel by
pressing the DEVICE button.
• Make sure the V-Chip lock is off.
• If you cannot tune to a virtual digital channel even though the TV has already
memorized digital channels, tune to the channel number actually being used by
the broadcaster. The virtual channel will then be automatically added to memory.
5.
On-screen displays appear each time you change
a function.
This is part of normal TV operation.

automatically (timer function)

or to front panel control and TV will not power off.

started to blink.
• Momentary power fluctuation caused the TV to turn off to prevent damage. Wait
for the green light to stop flashing and turn On again.
• If the TV does not stay turned On, use the System Reset button. If this happens
frequently, obtain an AC line power conditioner/surge protector.
• An unusual digital signal may have been received, triggering a protection
circuit. Wait for the light to stop flashing and turn TV on.
