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
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.
