TROUBLESHOOTING

Caution:

When the TV set is operated at ambient temperatures of 5 degree Celsius or lower, there will be a focus disorder and colorization problem (pinking) at the first switching on. Your set provides normal display in 10 to 15 minutes. Operating the set in such adverse ambient conditions will reduce its life. So, do not operate it at low ambient temperatures (5 degree Celsius or lower).

Please check these simple things before requesting service. A couple of minutes spent here may cure your problem.

SYMPTOM

 

 

 

No Power –

Check that your TV is connected to the mains supply and the outlet is switched on. Ensure the TV

 

power button is in the ON position.

 

 

If the TV is in Standby mode (the red light will be ON at the front of the set), bring it out of standby

 

by using the P+ or P- buttons on the remote handset or on the front of the TV.

 

 

 

No Sound –

Ensure that the TV is not in MUTE status. A

 

is displayed on screen while the TV is in MUTE

 

 

status.

 

 

Turn up the TV volume if it is set to or near minimum.

Weak Picture –

Adjust the picture control settings.

 

 

Try to avoid facing the TV towards light sources such as windows as this will wash out the picture.

Poor Colour –

Check the colour setting in the picture control settings.

 

Try fine tuning the station.

 

Corrupt Teletext –

Teletext requires a good signal from the aerial. Please check the aerial connection on another TV. An outdoor

 

aerial is recommended. Try fine tuning the station.

 

Colour Distortion –

Devices such as loudspeakers, sub woofers etc contain strong magnetic fields. If you experience colour

 

distortion along the edges or in the corners of the screen you should turn the TV OFF at the mains and leave to

 

stand for 20 minutes. When the power is re-applied, the degaussing circuit will try and restore the magnetic

 

balance with the tube. If this distortion does not clear up after degaussing, the magnetic source must be moved

 

away from the TV so that it causes no colour distortion.
