Troubleshooting
Troubles sometimes are caused by simple “faults” that you can correct without the help of a service technician.
If you experience any difficulty with your TV, check a few basic remedies before calling your service technician.
TV will not turn on
•
Check to make sure it is plugged in.
•
Check the wall receptacle (or extension cord) to make sure it is “live” by plugging in something else.

Maybe batteries in remote control are “dead.”
•
Maybe remote control is not aimed at remote sensor.
Controls don’t work
•
If using remote control, make sure remote is in TV mode by first pressing TV button.
•
Try unplugging set for two minutes and then plug it back in and turn it on again.
Problems with Remote

Maybe something is between the remote and the remote sensor.
•
Maybe the remote is not aimed directly at the component (TV or VCR) you are trying to control.
•
Maybe remote is not in TV Mode. Press the TV button so remote will control TV.
•
