Solution

your keyboard to “wake” your computer.

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 TV to another location to see if this is the cause of the problem.

Make sure that the input source cable is attached securely and correctly to the back of your TV.

Make sure that the video input source is within the range of your TV. Compare the video input source’s specifications with your TV specifications.

If you are using RGB mode, make sure that H Size and V Position in the On Screen Display (OSD) are set correctly.

If you are using TV, AV1, AV2 or Component with 480i input, use the WIDE button on the remote control to scroll through various screen modes.

Make sure that the volume is not turned down. Make sure that the sound is not muted.

Make sure that your audio input source cables are connected securely and correctly.

Your LCD HDTV is manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology, however, sometimes some pixels of your LCD HDTV may not display. Pixel defects within industry specifications are inherent to this type of product and do not constitute a defective product.

When your LCD HDTV’s digital capabilities exceed a digital broadcast signal, the signal is up-converted (increased) to match your TV’s display capabilities. Up- converting can cause noise or trash.

The TV remembers the volume level from the last time you adjusted it. If the sound level is higher or lower from another source, then the loudness will change.

The TV remembers the viewing mode from the last time you used a particular input (AV1, AV2, Component 1, Component 2, HDMI 1, HDMI 2 and TV).

The LCD HDTV is an ideal platform for viewing High Definition Content.

Best Image Quality will be achieved by the HDMI Input, then YPbPr, then RGB.

However, due to variances in broadcast practices, it is possible some image distortions can occur.

Letterboxed (or “Widescreen”) versions of DVD movies are most commonly formatted for standard 4:3 Televisions. The LCD HDTV has the capability of expanding this content so the entire screen is filled at the expense of image accuracy. To use this function, press the “ZOOM” key on the remote control and cycle among the available options.
