Other Information

•May be a weak station. Change the Sound Type to Mono (instructions on page 26).
No picture, no sound but TV is on
•Maybe the Signal Source is set wrong. Go to page 11 for more instructions.
•You may have the wrong video input channel selected. Use the ANTENNA button to toggle through the available video input channels.
