REFERENCE
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.
Black box appears on the screen
•Captioning may be turned on. Check the
G-LINK Cable not working
•Check to make sure the wands are positioned correctly.

•The guide may get out of sync with the cable provider. Use setup to change the zip code to 99999. Turn the TV off for ten minutes. Use setup again to change the zip code to the correct value. Be sure to select the correct lineup if asked.
PIP TROUBLESHOOTING
•The PIP feature on this TV only works if you connect a second video source (like a VCR or satellite receiver), to your TV with audio/video cables. If you use a cable box, you may need extra equipment.
•Swap won’t work? Make sure the remote is in the right mode. For example, once you turn on the VCR with the VCR1 button, you can’t SWAP the pictures until you put the remote in TV mode. Just press the TV button.
•No signal or bad reception? Most VCRs and satellite receivers have an antenna or TV/VCR button. Press the antenna or TV/VCR button on the front of the component.
Note: If you programmed the Universal remote control to operate your VCR, the ANTENNA button on the remote acts as a TV/VCR button.
•Every time you change channels, the same channel appears in both windows (the main picture and the PIP picture).
A.Press the CH CTRL button on the remote until the TV picture channel number is highlighted. The channel buttons on your remote control won’t work correctly for PIP when the VID channel is highlighted.
B.The only way to successfully change channels for the picture, that is coming from the channel on your VCR (the VID channel), is to press the channel buttons on the VCR or on the VCR’s remote control.
If you use a cable box, you must connect a splitter in order for PIP
