The visual qualities of digital 

channels vary.

The visual qualities of digital channels may vary depending on the original production 

method(analog or digital).
-  If the original production method is digital: High visual quality.

-  If the original production method is analog: The digital program displayed on the 

screen is originally an analog program which has been converted to digital. 

The visual quality is of an SD(Standard Definition) grade.

light blinks steadily.

On your computer check; Power and Signal Cable.

the visual quality is not satisfactory.

The HD(High Definition) caption that appears when switching channels or when 

pressing the Information button on the remote control means the selected channel is 

a digital channel. If the broadcasting station converts an analog signal into digital and 

transmits the signal, the visual quality may not be perfect.

A distorted picture appears in the 

corner of the screen.

If

the corner of the screen. This symptom is caused by external devices, not the TV.

A strange sound is heard.

This is caused by minor systems operation and is not a defect.

Pixels are visible on the screen.

There may be few bright or dark pixels on the screen. These pixels will have no impact 

on the performance of the product.

The "Resets all settings to the 

default values" message appears.

This appears when you press and hold the 

EXIT

 button for a while. The product 

settings are reset to the factory defaults.
