TROUBLESHOOTING

Troubles sometimes are caused by simple “faults” that you can correct without the help of a service technician. If you experience any difficulty with your monitor, check a few basic remedies before calling your service technician.

Monitor will not turn on

Check to make sure it is plugged in.

Check the wall receptacle (or extension cord) to make sure it is “live” by plugging in something else.

Maybe batteries in remote control are “dead.”

Maybe remote control is not aimed at remote sensor.

The front panel controls may be locked (disabled). Use the remote control to unlock the front panel controls by selecting the Front Panel Block in the Parental Controls menu and choosing Unblock.

Controls don’t work

If using remote control, make sure remote is in TV mode by first pressing TV button.

The front panel MENU button may be disabled. Use the remote control to turn off channel blocking. Select Front Panel Block in the Parental Controls menu and choose Unblock.

Try unplugging monitor for two minutes and then plug it back in and turn it on again.

Problems with remote

Maybe something is between the remote and the remote sensor.

Maybe the remote is not aimed directly at the component (monitor, DVD player, VCR, etc.) you are trying to control.

Maybe the remote is not in TV mode. Press the TV button so the remote will control the monitor.

Maybe the batteries in the remote are weak, dead or installed incorrectly. Try replacing the batteries. (Note, if you remove the batteries, you may have reprogram the remote to control other components.)

Remove the batteries and hold the number 1 for at least 60 seconds to drain the microprocessor inside the remote. Release the number 1, replace the batteries, and (if necessary) reprogram the remote.

Blank screen

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

Try another channel.

If you have connected a digital set top converter, you must connect to both the (S)VGA2 and INPUT2 inputs in order to view both digital and analog signals.

Due to copyright restrictions, you may not be able to view some high definition programs in high definition format using this product. To view this type of programming in standard definition format, you must also connect the Audio/ Video jacks from the HD receiver to the monitor.

Monitor may be in powersave, or standby, mode. Press the TV or ON•OFF on your remote, or the POWER button on the front panel.

Picture on screen is not centered while in VGA mode

Adjust picture by going to Picture Position in the Screen Menu. Use remote arrows to adjust the horizontal and vertical position of the main picture window.

Display properties may not be set correctly. Consult your computer operating system’s owner’s manual on how to adjust the display properties.
