TROUBLESHOOTING

If you experience any trouble or are confused about a certain function of your television, please read through this troubleshooting section before calling for service. These tips can save you time and money since charges for TV installation and adjustment of cus- tomer controls are not covered under this television’s warranty.

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.

Power the television on again and try the remote once more.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Check to see if there is any damage to the remote case. Look for cracks or acid from old batteries.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In this case the remote may have to be replaced.

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.
