REFERENCE

TV turns on unexpectedly

•Scheduled On or Watch from the Guide may have been activated.

Blank screen

•Maybe the component connected to the input jacks is not turned on.

•Try another channel.

•Press RESET, in case the picture controls are set too low.

PIP not available

•If the PIP window is displayed, and you change the PIP input (by pressing WHO•INPUT) to COMP2, PIP is not displayed.

No sound, picture okay

•Maybe sound is muted. Try pressing volume up button to restore sound.

•Maybe speakers are turned off. Check the Audio Output and Speakers control panel in the Audio menu.

•If using an S-VHS component, remember to also connect the component’s L and R AUDIO OUT jacks to the TV’s L and R INPUT jacks.

Can’t select certain channel

•Channel may be blocked or not approved in the Parental Controls menu.

•If using a VCR, check to make sure the TV/VCR switch on the VCR is in the correct position.

Noisy stereo reception

•May be a weak station. Use SOUND button to change to mono mode instead of stereo.

No picture, no sound but TV is on

•Maybe the cable/air function is set to the wrong position.

•Maybe a vacant channel is tuned.

•If watching VCR (connected only through antenna input), make sure TV is tuned to channel 3 or 4 – same as CH3/4 switch on VCR. Also check to make sure TV/VCR switch on VCR is in the correct position.

Sound okay, picture poor

•Check antenna connections.

•Try adjusting sharpness function to improve weak signals.
