There is picture/Video.
• Check cable connections (remove and reconnect all cables connected to the TV and external
devices).
• Set your external devices’ (Cable/Set top Box, DVD, Blu-ray etc) video outputs to match the
connections to the TV input. For example, if an external device’s output is HDMI, it should be
connected to an HDMI input on the TV.

The picture is distorted: macro block error
small block, dots, pixelization
• Compression of video contents may cause picture distortion, especially with fast moving pictures
such as sports and action movies.
• A low signal can cause picture distortion. This is not a TV issue.
PC Connection
A “Mode Not Supported” message
appears.
• Set your PC’s output resolution and frequency so they match the resolutions supported by the TV (p.
20).
“PC” is always shown on the source list,
even if a PC is not connected.
• This is normal; “PC” is always shown on the source list, regardless of whether a PC is connected.
The video is OK but there is no audio.
• If you are using a HDMI connection, check the audio output setting on your PC.

You have intermittent loss of audio or
video.
• Check the cable connections and reconnect them.
• Loss of audio or video can be caused by using overly rigid or thick cables. Make sure the cables are
flexible enough for long term use. If mounting the TV to the wall, we recommend using cables with 90
degree connectors.
