If you’re using S-Video remember to also connect the component’s left and right audio output jacks to the TV’s AUDIO jacks.

Channel may be blocked or not approved through Parental Controls.

If you’re 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).

Sound okay, picture poor

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

Try adjusting sharpness to improve weak signals. Go to page 16 for more instructions.

Black box appears on the screen

Closed caption might be on. Check CC in the Preferences menu. Go to page 21 for more instructions.

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 batteries in the remote are weak, dead or installed incorrectly. Put new batteries in the remote.

Problems with Parental Controls

The rating limits don’t work

You must activate the settings. Go to the MAIN MENU (press MENU on your remote), select Par. (Parental) Control in the Preferences menu. Enter your password and turn on Master Enable (Go to page 27 for instructions).

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

If you forget your password you can reset it. Simultaneously press the VOL+ on the remote and the CH+ button on the front of the TV. The display will appear for you to enter your new password.

The Parental Controls 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. Check to see if BLOCK NO RATING is turned on in the Par. (Parental) Control menu. Go to page 25 for more instructions.
