Solution

Make sure the power cord is securely connected to the back of your HDTV and the power outlet.

Connect another electrical device into the power outlet to verify that the outlet is supplying the proper voltage.

Check your audio connections on the back of your HDTV and on the back of the component.

Make sure the volume is not turned down.

Make sure that the sound is not muted.

Make sure that headphones are not connected.

Check your audio settings in the OSD. See “Adjusting the Audio Settings.” Your HDTV audio may be set to SAP, minimum, or speakers off.

Check the connections on the back of your HDTV and on the back of the component.

Make sure the power cord is securely connected to the back of your HDTV and a grounded power outlet.

If your HDTV is connected to your computer in RGB or HDMI mode, press any key on your keyboard to “wake” your computer.

Check the connections on the back of your HDTV and on the back of the component.

Press only one button at a time.

Make sure batteries are inserted correctly.

Replace expired batteries.

Standard, analog TV will always be noticeably inferior to HD because your digital flat panel TV has video that is many times better than older TVs. You will see interference and deficiencies you did not know you had.

For best image quality, view HD wide screen programs where possible.

If HD content is not available view “Standard Definition” from a digital source.

You may be getting interference from electrical appliances, cars, motorcycles, or fluorescent lights. If you have not mounted it on the wall, try moving your HDTV to another location to see if this is the cause of the problem.

You may be getting interference from a device on the same electrical circuit. Try plugging your HDTV into another power outlet.
