Troubleshooting

The following are not malfunctions.

• The television may make a creaking sound if the temperature of the room or the
temperature of the inside of the television changes. If there is no problem with the screen or
sound, then there is no need to worry.
• Although the picture may be temporarily disturbed and noise may be seen on the screen if
the power is turned on immediately after it has been turned off, this is not a malfunction.
• If the television is used at a location above 2,000 m, a buzzing noise and image distortion
may occur. This phenomenon is peculiar to PDP (Plasma Display Panel), and could occur
with any television using PDP. It is not a malfunction.
PROBLEMS CHECK

picures (ghosts)
A building or passing airplane can reflec the original signal and produce a
