General troubleshooting

Before calling a service technician, please check this section for a possible cause of the problem and some solutions you can try.

Black box on screen

•The Closed Caption feature is set to one of the Text

modes (T1, T2, T3, or T4). Set the Closed Caption feature to Off (- page 37).

TV stops responding to controls

•If the TV stops responding to the controls on the remote control or TV control panel and you cannot turn off the TV, press and hold the POWER button on the TV control panel for 5 or more seconds to reset the TV.

TV will not turn on

•Make sure the power cord is plugged in, and then press p.

•The remote control batteries may be dead. Replace the batteries or try the control panel buttons.

Picture problems

General picture problems

•Check the antenna/cable connections (- page 10).

•Press +on the remote control or INPUT on the TV

control panel and select a valid video input source (- page 30). If no device is connected, no picture will display when you select that particular input source. For device connection details, see page 10.

•Antenna reception may be poor. Use a highly directional outdoor antenna (if applicable).

•The station may have broadcast difficulties. Try another channel.

•Adjust the picture qualities (- page 35).

•If you are using a VCR, make sure Lon the remote control is set correctly (- page 19).

•If you have two VCRs connected to your TV, make sure you have not connected the same VCR to the TV’s output and input connections at the same time.

•Do not connect both a standard video cable and an

S-video cable to the VIDEO-2inputs at the same time (- page 14).

Noisy picture

•If you are watching a tuned analog channel (off-air broadcast or Cable TV), set the CableClear®/DNR

feature to Auto to reduce visible interference in the TV picture (- page 36).

Video Input Selection problems

•If the program list does not appear when you press +on the remote control or INPUT on the TV control panel, press the button a second time, which will change the TV to the next video input source and display the program list.

Cannot view external signals or channel 3 or 4

•If you cannot view signals from external devices connected to VIDEO-1, VIDEO-2, ColorStream®, or

HDMI, or from channels 3 or 4, make sure the Video Lock is set to Off (- page 41).

Poor color or no color

•The station may have broadcast difficulties. Try another channel.

•Adjust the Tint and/or Color (- page 35).

•When the ColorStream® signal source is active, the VIDEO OUT terminal outputs blank video. To receive video from the VIDEO OUT signal, a standard video or S-video IN terminal must be used instead of the ColorStream® connections.

Poor composite or S-video picture

•If the poor picture occurs when the TV is connected to an external A/V device (e.g., DVD player, video game system, set-top box, etc.) try using a ColorStream or HDMI video connection instead.

Picture and sound are out of sync

•As with all products that contain a digital display, in rare instances, when viewing certain content (e.g.. television broadcasts, video games, DVDs), you may notice that the sound and picture are slightly out of sync. This phenomenon can be caused by various factors including, without limitation, video processing within the TV, video processing in an attached gaming system, and video processing or different compression rates used by broadcasters in their programming. You may want to try one or more of the following suggestions, which may help to reduce the effect of this phenomenon:

–If the TV is connected to an A/V receiver that has a programmable audio delay feature, use this feature to help synchronize the sound to the picture.

–If you notice this phenomenon only on certain TV channels, please contact your local broadcast, cable, or satellite provider to inform them of this issue.

Sound problems

•Check the antenna/cable connections (- page 10).

•The station may have broadcast difficulties. Try another channel.

•The sound may be muted. Press VOLUME.

•If you hear no sound, try setting the MTS feature to Stereo mode (- page 38).

•If you are not receiving a second audio program from a

known SAP source, make sure the MTS feature is set to SAP mode (- page 38).

•If you hear audio that seems “incorrect” for the program you are watching (such as music or a foreign language),

the SAP mode may be on. Set the MTS feature to Stereo mode (- page 38).
