What Else Can I Do?
If you’ve been through the Troubleshooting section and nothing has fixed your problem, try rebooting your TV. Note that after a reboot you
may need to run your TV through the setup process again. To do a reboot, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, power strip, etc.
Keep your TV unplugged for about 5 minutes. Then plug the TV back in, turn on the TV, and see if the problem is fixed. If the problem
remains, then please visit www.rca.com/television or contact RCA Customer Support at the support number provided in your Warranty
