If you cannot solve the problem using the instructions below, note the model and serial number of the television and contact your local 

dealer.

Check that the mains lead has been connected to a wall socket.

 

Check that you have pressed the button on your set.

 

Check the picture contrast and brightness settings.

 

Check the volume.

 

Check if 

 

Speaker Select 

is set to 

External Speaker

.

Normal picture but no sound

Check the volume.

 

Check whether the 

 

M

 

MUTE

 button has been pressed on the remote control.

No picture or black and white 

picture

Adjust the colour settings.

 

Check that the broadcast system selected is correct.

 

Sound and picture interference

Try to identify the electrical appliance that is affecting the television, then move it further 

 

away.

Plug the television into a different main socket.

 

Blurred or snowy picture, 

distorted sound

Check the direction, location and connections of your aerial.

 

This interference often occurs due to the use of an indoor aerial.

Replace the remote control batteries.

 

Clean the upper edge of the remote control (transmission window).

 

Check that the + and – ends of the batteries are inserted correctly.

 

Check that the batteries are drained.

On your computer check; Power, Signal Cable.

 

Move the computer’s mouse or press any key on the keyboard.

The TV is using its power management system.

 

Press the Source button on the panel or remote control.

The damaged picture appears in 

the corner of the screen.

If 

 

Screen Fit 

is selected in some external devices, the damaged picture may appear in the 

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

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.
