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 if the TV's AC power cord is plugged into the outlet.
· Unplug the TV, wait for 60 seconds. Then reinsert plug into the
outlet 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.
· Increase the volume level by pressing the VOL+ button on the
remote control or on the TV side control panel.
· Press the MUTE button on the remote control to ensure mute is
off.
· Adjust the contrast, color and brightness settings.
· Poor picture quality may occur when an activated S-VHS camera
or camcorder is connected to your TV and other peripherals at the
same time. Switch off one of the peripherals.
· Check the antenna connection.
· This may be caused by electrical interference (e.g. hair dryer,
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 on the side of your TV.
· Your TV is precision-manufactured using an extremely high
level of technology. However, sometimes pixels may not display
correctly. These types of occurrences are inherent to this type of
product and do not constitute a defective product.
