17. Troubleshooting

 

This section describes common problems that you may encounter 
through the daily use of your Pixstorm LCD TV. 
If this section does not resolve your problem, please contact 
Pixstorm Customer Service (refer to Section 3) for further 
assistance. 
 

Q: My screen is on, but there is no sound? 

A: 

Make sure the unit is not on Mute, check the volume, and in 

Video or PC mode check whether the Audio in cable is connected 
properly to both the LCD TV and the external device. In TV mode, 
make sure the Antenna is working properly. 

Q: The LED is on, but my screen is still black? 

A:

 Check the video cables to make sure they are properly connected 

to both your LCD TV and the external device. Check if both units 
are turned on. 

Q: My screen is too dark, how do I adjust the brightness? 
A:

 Select the Picture Icon in the Menu, and then configure the 

brightness and contrast settings to your desired specifications. 

Q: Why are there dead pixels on my screen? 
A:

 All LCD screens will eventually have dead pixels. Although we 

strive to select top-quality panels, we cannot assure you that your 
LCD screen will not have dead pixels because it is the nature of the 
technology. 

Q: How can I adjust the display size and position? 
A:

 You can configure these settings by selecting the Picture 

Position Setup Icon in the Menu and by setting the Hpos and Vpos 
settings. 

Q: Why is the text blurred? 
A:

 Adjust the Clock Phase and Contrast Ratios settings to make the 

screen crisper and sharper. 

Q: Why is my TV reception bad? 
A:

 To ensure good reception you should make sure that you are 

using a coaxial cable and high power antenna. 

Q: The picture is scrambled, what should I do? 
A:

 Check the signal connection between the LCD TV and the 

external device.   

Q: The picture is wavy? 
A:

 Check the signal connection between the LCD TV and the 

external device. 

Q: The colors are distorted and some areas are dark and 
shadowed? 
A:

 Adjust the color settings by selecting the Picture Icon in the 

Menu.
