Symptoms Items to Check and Actions to follow
“Ghost” or double image • This may be caused by obstruction to the antenna due
to high rise buildings or hills. Using a highly directional
antenna may improve the picture.
No power • Check if the TV’s AC power cord is plugged into the
mains socket.
• Unplug the TV, wait for 60 seconds. Then reinsert plug
into the mains socket and turn on the TV again.
No picture • Check antenna connections at the rear of the TV to see
if it is properly connected to the TV.

could block the screen.

sound • Increase the VOLUME.
• Check if the TV is muted; press the MUTE button on the
remote control.
