Problems 

Solutions 

TV CHANNELS ARE 

BLOCKED 

Check your auto lock function’s settings inside the OSD.  You 
may have locked up some channels but forgot about them. 
Refer to page 34 for more instructions. 

UNIVERSAL 

REMOTE CODE 

This TV follows SONY’s universal remote code.  Please check 
your hand book for SONY’s codes then apply them. 

THE TV TURNS ON 

OR OFF SLOWLY 

AND THE SCREEN 

SHOWS UP 

SLOWLY 

This TV is a High Definition liquid crystal display panel TV.  It 
requires a few more seconds than normal TVs to power up and 
show the picture. 

NO SOUND ON PC  Make sure you have a 3.5 mm mini-jack cable connected from 

your pc’s sound output to the TV’s VGA STEREO INPUT. 

HDCP VIDEO SAYS 
NO HDCP SUPPORT 

Reboot your HDCP video device but turning them off and 
unplugging the power cord.  Wait up to 8 minutes to plug the 
power back in to see if it works or not. 

 
HDCP VIDEO HAS 
NO AUDIO 

Make sure you have a 3.5 mm mini-jack cable connected from 
your HDCP video device’s sound output to the TV’s VGA 
STEREO INPUT.  If your HDCP video device uses RCA AUDIO 
jacks, you’ll need to obtain a RCA audio converted into 3.5 mm 
mini-jack cable. 

CANNOT GET 
1360X768 ON PC 
VGA 

Make sure the TV is recognized as plug and play monitor.  Try 
updating your video card’s drivers as well.  If that does not help, 
most likely you’ll need to upgrade your video card to a newer 
one. 

PICTURE IS 
DISTORTED OR 
HAS ABNORMAL 
SOUND 

This might be from interference from large electrical appliances, 
cars, motorcycles, or fluorescent lights.  If the TV is close to the 
wall, try moving the TV to another room in your house to see if 
the problem still occurs. 

 
 
 
PICTURE DOES 
NOT COVER THE 
ENTIRE SCREEN 

If you’re using HDMI or a TV digital channel make sure you use 
the ASPECT button to switch to 16:9 format.  If you are using 
VGA, use the AUTO ADJUST function to adjust to the screen.  
Please Note : If you are using regular analog TV, AV, or 
component in 480i resolution, use the ASPECT button to switch 
to 16:9 in order to fill up the screen.  Please Note : This note 
this feature will distort the picture. 

 
 
PICTURE QUALITY 
IS HORRIBLE!! 

For best image quality, view HD widescreen programs where 
possible.  If HD content is not available view “Standard 
Definition” from a digital source.  Standard, analog TV will 
always be noticeable inferior to HD because your TV has video 
that is many times better than old TV’s and so you can see 
interference and deficiencies you did not KNOW you had. 

PICTURE HAS 
PIXELS THAT ARE 
ALWAYS 
DISPLAYING THE 
SAME COLOR 

Your TV is manufactured using an extremely high level of 
precision technology, however, sometimes some pixels of your 
TV may not display. Pixels defects within industry specifications 
are inherent to this type of product and do not constitute a 
defective product. 

I CANNOT CHANGE 
THE TIME 
MANUALLY 

Your TV syncs time automatically according to your local TV 
channel.  This function only works while the TV’s tuner is 
connected to an ANTENNA. 

BIG BLACK BOX IN 
THE MIDDLE OF 
SCREEN 

You have turned on closed captioning and are using TEXT1 – 
TEXT4.  Change the setting to CC1 or turn off closed captioning 
and the box will disappear.  Refer to page 40 for more 
information.
