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 TV, check a few basic remedies before calling your service technician.

TV 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 was not aimed at remote sensor.

Controls don't work

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

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

Problems with Remote

•Maybe something was between the remote and the remote sensor. Maybe the remote was not aimed directly at the component (TV or VCR) you were trying to control.

•Maybe remote is not in TV Mode. Pressthe TV button so remote will control TV.

•Maybe batteries in remote are weak, dead or installed incorrectly. Try replacing the batteries.

Remote stops working
