Other Information

¥If using a VCR, check to make sure the TV/VCR button on the VCR is in the correct mode (press the TV/VCR button on your VCR).

Noisy stereo reception

¥ May be a weak station. Access the SOUND menu, highlight Sound Type and then choose Mono.

No picture, no sound but TV is on

¥Maybe the signal type is set wrong. Go to page 23 for detailed instructions.

¥The channel might be blank Ñ change channels.

¥If youÕre watching your VCR and itÕs connected with coaxial cable to the TV ANT jack, tune the TV to channel 3 or 4 (whichever channel is selected on the 3/4 switch on the back of your VCR). Also check to make sure the TV/VCR button on the VCR is in the correct mode (press the TV/VCR button on your VCR).

Sound okay, picture poor

¥Check antenna connections. Make sure all of the cables are firmly connected to the jacks.

¥Try adjusting sharpness function to improve weak signals. Go to page 23 for more instructions.

Black box appears on the screen

¥Closed caption might be on. Check Closed Caption in the SETUP menu. Go to page 23 for more instructions.

PASSWORD menu appears

¥KidPass option is activated and you try to reset the time.

¥You turn the TV on after KidPass shut off the TV.

The Remote Control Doesn’t Work

¥Something might be between the remote and the remote sensor on the component. Make sure there is a clear path.

¥Maybe the remote isnÕt aimed directly at the component (DVD, TV, VCR) that youÕre trying to operate.

¥Maybe remote is not in TV Mode. Press the TV button so remote will control TV.

¥Maybe batteries in remote are weak, dead, or installed incorrectly. Put new batteries in the remote. (Note, if you remove the batteries, you may have to reprogram the remote to operate other components.)

¥You might need to reset the remote: remove batteries and press the number 1 button for at least 60 seconds. Release the 1 button, replace the batteries, and (if necessary) program the remote again.

Problems with V-Chip/Parental Controls

The rating limits don’t work

¥You must activate the settings. Go to the MAIN MENU (press MENU on your remote), select Parental Control, highlight and turn on V-Chip active (box has check mark).

I don’t remember my password and I want to unlock the TV

¥If you forget your password you can reset it. Make sure the TV is off. Simultaneously press and hold VOL< on the TVÕs front panel and CLEAR on the remote for approximately 5 seconds. Enter a new password next time you access the PARENTAL CONTROL menu.

The V-Chip won’t let me watch a program even though it’s not rated as violent.

¥Maybe the movie was given an NR (Not Rated) status. After you block movie ratings, you must unlock NR separately in order to view movies with an NR rating.
