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 button on the VCR is in the correct "mode."

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 setting is set to the wrong position. To fix, select GUIDE Plus+ Gold Menu from the Main menu, select the Setup option, and provide the correct information on the following screens.

•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 the TV/VCR button on the VCR is in the correct "mode."

Sound okay, picture poor

•Check antenna connections.

•Try adjusting sharpness function to improve weak signals.

•If the picture appears to have a double or triple image or if you notice rings or halos around objects, you may have to adjust the color convergence. Details can be found under the Screen menu heading in the "Using the Menu System" section of this manual (Projection TV only).

Black box appears on the screen

•Captioning may be turned on and in text mode. Check the Closed-Caption Display control panel in the Channel menu.

GUIDE Plus+ G-LINKcable not working

•Check to make sure the G-LINK cable wand is positioned correctly.

•GUIDE Plus+ Gold system control of cable box is slower than direct control of the box itself. Keep this in mind when changing channels.

Never use strong cleaning agents, such as ammonia-based cleaners, or abrasive powder. These types of cleaners will damage the TV.

While cleaning do not spray liquid directly on the screen, or allow liquid to run down the screen and inside the TV. Also, avoid placing drinks or vases with water on top of the TV. This could increase the risk of fire or shock hazard or damage to the "IV.
