TIPS IF SOMETHING ISN'T WORKING

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 per- manently 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 to be sure outlet is not on a wall switch.

Check MODE access in Setup Menu (see page 2) for correct operation mode. Also check POWER ON and KEYBOARD controls for commercial users.

Check antenna connections on the rear of the TV. Are they properly secured to the antenna plug on the TV?

Check the CABLE TUNING control for correct position. Check A/V MUTE, ACCESS LEVEL, VIDEO BLANK, and EVENT MENU controls for correct setting in Setup Menu for commercial users.

Check INPUT (under CHANNEL INSTALLATION in CONSUMER mode) for correct position. FRONT, AUX, or S-VIDEO positions without a supplied video signal source will result in a blank screen.

Check the VOLUME buttons. Check AUDIO BLANK and MAX VOL in Setup Menu for commercial users.

Check the MUTE button on the remote control.

Check the SPEAKER on-screen Menu control and EXTERNAL SPEAKER switch on rear of TV. OFF position will eliminate sound at the set.

If attempting auxiliary equipment hook-ups, check audio jack connections.

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.

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

Repeat channel selection.

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

Check CABLE TUNING ON/OFF control for correct position.

This TV is equipped with protective circuitry that shuts the TV off in case of moderate power surges. Should this occur turn the TV back on by pressing the POWER button once or twice, or unplug (wait 10 seconds) and then replug the power cord at the AC outlet. This feature is NOT designed to prevent damage due to high power surges such as those caused by lightning, which is not covered by your warranty.

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.

Occasionally vacuum the ventilation holes or slots in the cabinet back.

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