POSSIBLE REMEDY

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Try a new channel, if OK, then possible station trouble.

Is TV plugged in?

Power at outlet?

Is TV’s power on?

Is antenna or cable connected to terminal on the back of the set?

If outside antenna is being used, check for broken wire or loose connection.

Check for local interference.

Turn off the TV and then turn it on after about a minute.

Adjust COLOR control.

Adjust CONTRAST & BRIGHT control.

Check batteries in remote control.

Move the TV away from the nearby appliances which generate a magnetic field.

Turn off using [POWER], then turn it on again 30 minutes later or so.

Check if there is an obstacle between the sensor and the remote control.

Test the signal output.* If OK, then possible remote sensor trouble.

*Additional Remote Test

Tune an AM radio to a station with no broadcasting. Press a button on the remote control toward the radio. Sound will be fluttering when you press any key and the radio receives the signal. This means the remote control unit is working.
