Before Calling Service
Items to Check and Actions to follow
•
This may be caused by obstruction to the antenna due to high rise
buildings or hills. Using a highly directional antenna may improve
the picture.
•
Check that the TV’s AC power cord is plugged into the mains
socket.
•
Unplug the TV, wait for 60 seconds. Then re-insert plug into the
mains socket and turn on the TV again.
•
Check antenna connections at the rear of the TV to see if it is
properly connected to the TV.
•
Possible broadcast station trouble. Try another channel.
•
Adjust the contrast and brightness settings.
•
Check the Closed Captions control. Some TEXT modes could
block the screen.
•
Switch your VGA-source to a correct display mode.
•
Increase the VOLUME.
•
Check that the TV is not muted, press the
¬
button on the
remote control.
•
Adjust the contrast, color and brightness settings.
•
Sometimes, poor picture quality occurs when having activated an
S-VHS camera or camcorder connected and having connected
another peripheral at the same time. In this case, switch off one of
the other peripherals.
•
Check the antenna connection.
•
This may be caused by electrical interference (e.g. hairdryer, nearby
neon lights, etc.)
•
Turn off the equipment.
•
Check whether the batteries are working. Replace if necessary.
•
Clean the remote control sensor lens on the TV.

You can still use the buttons at the front of your TV.
