CAUTION: A video source (such as a video game, Compact Disc Interactive - CDI, or TV information channel) which shows a constant non-moving pattern on the TV screen can cause picture tube damage. When your TV is continuously used with such a source, the pattern of the non-moving portion of the game (CDI, etc.) could leave an image permanently on the picture tube. When not in use, turn the video source OFF. Regularly alternate the use of such video sources with normal TV viewing.

•Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert plug into outlet and push POWER button again.

•Check that outlet is not on a wall switch. Be sure fuse is not blown on AC power strip.

•Check to be sure the system mode switch (TV/VCR/ACC) is in the correct position when using the remote control to power the set ON.

•Check antenna connections. Are they properly secured to the TV's ANT/CABLE plug?

•Check the TUNER control for CABLE or ANTENNA setting.

•Press the AV button on the remote to make sure the correct signal source is selected (AV 1, AV 2, SVID-R or MM 1, MM 2, MM 3).

•Check the VOLUME buttons.

•Check the MUTE button on the remote control.

•Check the SPEAKER on-screen control. OFF position will eliminate sound at the set.

•If attempting auxiliary equipment hookups, check audio jack connections.

•(If Applicable) Check Audio Receiver for correct operating mode.

•Check TV/VCR/ACC “System” switch on the remote. Move the switch to the TV position to operate the television.

•Check batteries. Replace with AA Heavy Duty (Zinc Chloride) or Alkaline batteries if necessary.

•Clean the remote and the remote sensor window on the TV.

•Check the TV power cord. Unplug the TV, wait 10 seconds, then reinsert plug into outlet and push POWER button again. Be sure fuse is not blown on AC power strip.

•Check to be sure TV outlet is not on a wall switch.

•Repeat channel selection.

•Add desired channel numbers (CHANNEL EDIT control) into TV memory.

•Check to be sure the TUNER control is set to the CABLE option.

Cleaning and Care

•To avoid possible shock hazard be sure the TV is unplugged from the electrical outlet before cleaning.

•When cleaning the TV screen take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface (avoid wearing jewelry or using anything abrasive). Wipe the front screen with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use even, easy, vertical strokes when cleaning.

•Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or sponge dampened in a solution of cool clear water. Use a clean dry cloth to dry the wiped surfaces.

•Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they might cause permanent marring of the cabinet finish.
