Troubleshooting
•When a white and bright still image (such as a white dress) is displayed on the screen, the white part may look as if it were coloured.
It is a phenomenon unavoidable due to the nature of the picture tube itself, and not due to a TV failure.
When the picture disappears from the screen, the unnatural colours will also disappear.
•When viewing images from commercially available video software products, or videos from videotapes which have been recorded improperly, the top of the image may be distorted.
This is due to the condition of the video signal, and not because of malfunction.

•If the TV operation becomes disabled suddenly, press the Main power button on the TV and turn off the main power. Try to press the Main power button again to turn on the main power. If the TV returns to a normal state, it is not a failure.
Other concerns
•When the SLEEP TIMER function or AUTO SHUTOFF function operates, the TV is automatically turned off.
If the TV is turned off suddenly, try to press the POWER button to turn on the TV once again. At this time, if the TV resumes a normal state, there in no problem.

In this case, keep the device apart from your TV. If the speaker causes such phenomena, use the
