Sound reception may have deteriorated.

Switch STEREO mode (AUDIO ADJUST menu) to Off until reception improves. Change the audio of the HDMI device to Linear PCM.

Check the audio setting for HDMI. If there is functional problem with Digital Audio, use Analog audio.

The batteries are weak or dead. The battery’s polarity is wrong.

The remote control sensor is exposed to strong light of a fluorescent lamp, etc.

The main unit radiates heat and some of the parts may become hot. This is normal and should not affect performance or reliability.

Set up at a location with good ventilation.

Do not cover the ventilation holes of the TV with a tablecloth etc., and do not place on top of other equipment.

This is a characteristic of liquid crystal panels and is not a problem. The liquid crystal panel is built with very high precision technology giving you fine picture details. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of red, blue, green, or black.

Please note this does not affect the performance of your LCD.

HDMI cable is not connected securely.

Turn the power supply of the TV and connected equipment OFF then turn on. Check compatibility of input signal from the connected equipment.

The connected equipment must be EIA/CEA-861/861B compliant.

Change the audio setting of the connected equipment to L.PCM. Check the setting of HDMI INPUT.

If the problem is due to the digital audio connection, change to the analog audio connection.

Please consult an Authorized Service Center.
